<p>Thanks Richard. This is exactly the answer I was looking for.<br>

<p>I'm now assuming that Asterisk 11 was using it's equivalent "bridge_simple" but I was getting confused because the only bridge module I saw in modules.conf was bridge_softmix. When I upgraded to Asterisk13 that would have been the only bridge getting loaded
at first.<br>

<p>Is it expected that if bridge_softmix handled a normal two party call then MOH would no longer function?<br></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That is correct. bridge_softmix is optimized for multi-party conferencing where passing<br>control frames such as hold/unhold to other parties in the bridge is not a good idea. For<br>example, if three parties are in a bridge and if party A pressed its hold button then that<br>should not necessarily prevent parties B and C from talking to each other. Using<br></div><div>bridge_softmix for a normal two party call is a last resort. It works reasonably well as a<br>normal two party bridge technology but it is computationally expensive and not intended<br>for that purpose.<br></div><br><div>Richard<br></div></div><br></div></div>
