Please help me on this, Thanks!
I’m new to asterisk, just want to use it as a standalone MOH server for my ip phones. I followed the instructions online and eventially make it work, but only plays music for just a few seconds ( 1bout 10 seconds).
Is there anyone can help me on this?
Thanks.
What is your timing source? Do you have internal timing turned on?
Thanks for your reply:-)

As you can see, the internal timing has been turned off, but the problem still happens every time.
internal timing should be ON, and you need to have dahdi_dummy or a real dahdi device’s driver loaded.
Here is my musiconhold.conf

; Music on Hold – Sample Configuration
;
[general]
cachertclasses=yes ; use 1 instance of moh class for all users who are using it,
; decrease consumable cpu cycles and memory
; disabled by default
; valid mode options:
; files – read files from a directory in any Asterisk supported
; media format
; quietmp3 – default
; mp3 – loud
; mp3nb – unbuffered
; quietmp3nb – quiet unbuffered
; custom – run a custom application (See examples below)
; =========
; File-based (native) music on hold
; =========
;
; This plays files directly from the specified directory, no external
; processes are required. Files are played in normal sorting order
; (same as a sorted directory listing), and no volume or other
; sound adjustments are available. If the file is available in
; the same format as the channel’s codec, then it will be played
; without transcoding (same as Playback would do in the dialplan).
; Files can be present in as many formats as you wish, and the
; ‘best’ format will be chosen at playback time.
;
; NOTE:
; If you are not using “autoload” in modules.conf, then you
; must ensure that the format modules for any formats you wish
; to use are loaded before res_musiconhold. If you do not do
; this, res_musiconhold will skip the files it is not able to
; understand when it loads.
