When I connect to various asterisk services such as VoicemailMain(),
MeetMe() as examples, I do not get to hear the first greeting messages.
I've tried adding a Wait(1) before or after the application but this
seems to have no effect.
Is there another setting/parameter I can play with to delay the start of
the playback of these messages?
TIA

do you use SNOM phones?
We had the same problem with a number of SNOM phones.
After we did an update to the current firmware version, we heard the
beginning of the messages, too.

Unfortunately not. It is the same if we use our Siemens DECT/SIP
handsets or the Ekiga softphone...
I recall having this problem once before and that it "went away" when I
changed from Ekiga to Twinkle. When I get chance, I will re-install
Twinkle and see if that exhibits the same problem.
Thanks anyway.

Hrm...I have encountered this before and sometimes doing an explicit
Answer() then a Wait(2), then calling the service can help.
Hope this is helpful

I've always had this kind of problems with ekiga, the first 2/3 seconds
of sound are
of bad quality (cutted, metallic, ..) and always missing one or two
seconds, and this last
for at least 3 years. this remind me that i still hasn't verified if
this as been reported as a bug
to ekiga team
it is the reason why i'm using twinkle as a phone client, and twinkle
isn't a good client
(weird translation, usability .... inexistant) but at least audio is
good and it can ring on
a sound card and phone using another one.
Anyway instead of doing a Wait(), i used a Anwser() +
Playback(silence/1) to get around this kind
of thing. Since it's most probably problem while decoding first bunch of
audio sample, using Wait()
won't help.

Actually, try using an actual sound file sometimes, IIRC you'll get the
first second or so cut off. Been a while since I tried it, but I'm
fairly sure the BEST method is Answer() because otherwise you're just
using Playback(silence/1) to do the same thing, why bother? |
