Hi
I am using asyerisk 1.2.1 and format_mp3 to support mp3 files . It plays mp3 file but voice quality is not good . some voice packets are droped . Even wav and gms sounds are not good in moh .

I found that moh works better with the native player not mpg123. You will have to install the * add-ons for this. Once I did this, my moh started working perfectly. Check the wiki on voip-info.org for more info on this.

I have installed format_mp3.so module from asterisk-addon but it’s not working in case of moh but if I playback same mp3 file it sounds good .

i have configured musiconhold.conf and i am getting sound.

ny musiconhold.conf is

[default]
mode=>quietmp3
directory=>/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
random =>yes

[test]
mode=files
directory=/home/djain/songs/test

I am using test class to play music on hold

It will also depend on the quality of your MP3 files. I have a huge collection of MP3’s and while all of them will play perfectly through Windows Media Player or WinAmp, some of these same songs will get chirppy when played through *'s moh. I had to listen to the playback quality of the songs and then chose the ones with the best clarity as my moh library.

quality of mp3 songs is good . I have checked with XMMS @ linux.

Every time I put someone on hold, the MOH plays the first song from the start. I read the article on voip-info but I don’t understand how to change this.

Is there a different player I have to install? If so, what, where, and how?
