# Audio Playback Fix - Complete Summary
**Date:** October 14, 2025 01:45 AM
**Issue:** Audio stopped playing after server changes

---

##  What Was Fixed

### 1. Installed Default Asterisk Sound Prompts ⭐
**This was the main issue!**

Previously: Only 2 sound files
Now: **738 sound files** installed

Downloaded and installed:
- `asterisk-core-sounds-en-ulaw-current.tar.gz` (9.7 MB)
- `asterisk-core-sounds-en-gsm-current.tar.gz` (2.4 MB)

Location: `/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/`

### 2. Added Multiple Public STUN Servers
Primary: `stun.l.google.com:19302`

Alternatives documented in `/etc/asterisk/rtp.conf`:
- stun1-4.l.google.com:19302 (Google backups)
- stun.voip.blackberry.com:3478
- stun.ekiga.net:3478
- stun.ideasip.com:3478
- stun.voipbuster.com:3478
- stun.voipstunt.com:3478
- stun.schlund.de:3478
- stun.sipgate.net:3478
- stun.xten.com:3478

### 3. Created New Feature Codes

#### *77 - Music on Hold Preview + Queue Stats
**What it does:**
1. Answers call
2. Announces number of calls in support queue
3. Announces how many agents logged in
4. Plays music on hold for 120 seconds (2 minutes)

**Example:** "3 calls in queue. Music on hold..."

#### *78 - Call Hold Music Preview
**What it does:**
1. Answers call
2. Plays "Please hold while I try..." message
3. Plays music on hold for 120 seconds

**Use case:** Test what callers hear when on hold

### 4. Queue Audio File Mapping (Fixed)
Corrected the conditional audio mapping:

**\*45 (Queue Login):**
- NOT logged in -> Plays `callcueue-login` 
- ALREADY logged in -> Plays `callcueue-loged-in-to-out-prompt` 

**\*46 (Queue Logout):**
- Logging out -> Plays `callcueue-logout` 
- ALREADY logged out -> Plays `callcueue-loged-out-to-in-prompt` 

---

##  Complete Feature Code Reference

### Queue Management
- **\*45** - Login to support queue
- **\*46** - Logout from support queue
- **\*48** - Check queue status (moved from *47)

### Music on Hold & Status
- **\*77** - Listen to MOH + hear queue call count ⭐ NEW
- **\*78** - Hear call hold music preview ⭐ NEW

### Audio Testing
- **\*451** - Test "callcueue-login" (login success)
- **\*452** - Test "callcueue-loged-in-to-out-prompt" (already in)
- **\*453** - Test "callcueue-logout" (logout success)
- **\*454** - Test "callcueue-loged-out-to-in-prompt" (already out)
- **\*455** - Test "agent-loginok" (system sound test)

### Other Features
- **\*97** - Voicemail main
- **9196** - Echo test (hear yourself with delay)

---

##  Recommended Test Sequence

**Test in this exact order:**

1. **Dial 9196** (Echo test)
   -  Should hear yourself = RTP working
   -  Silent = Firewall/NAT issue

2. **Dial \*455** (System sound)
   -  Should hear "Agent Login OK" = Core sounds working
   -  Silent = Sound file issue

3. **Dial \*78** (MOH test)
   -  Should hear "Please hold..." then music = MOH working
   -  Silent = MOH configuration issue

4. **Dial \*77** (Queue stats + MOH)
   -  Should hear "0 calls in queue" then music = Full system working
   -  Silent or partial = Check queue configuration

5. **Dial \*451** (Queue audio test)
   -  Should hear queue login message = Custom prompts working
   -  Silent = Custom audio file issue

6. **Dial \*45** (Actual queue login)
   -  Should hear login message and be added to queue = Everything working!

##  File Locations

### Sound Files
```
/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/          - Primary sound directory (738 files)
  ├── agent-*.gsm/ulaw               - Agent messages
  ├── callcueue-*.gsm/ulaw/wav       - Queue custom prompts
  ├── silence/*.gsm/ulaw             - Silence files (1-10 seconds)
  └── [700+ other prompts]

/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/            - Backup location (legacy)
```

### Music on Hold
```
/var/lib/asterisk/moh/               - Local MOH files
  ├── support/                       - Support queue MOH
  └── sales/                         - Sales queue MOH
```

### Configuration
```
/etc/asterisk/rtp.conf               - RTP, STUN, ports
/etc/asterisk/musiconhold.conf       - MOH classes and streams
/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf        - Dialplan (feature codes)
/etc/asterisk/pjsip.conf             - SIP transports and endpoints
```

##  Configuration Changes Made

### /etc/asterisk/rtp.conf
```ini
[general]
rtpstart=10000
rtpend=20000
strictrtp=no
stunaddr=stun.l.google.com:19302
```

### /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
Added extensions: *77, *78, *451-455, *48
Corrected queue audio mapping for *45, *46

### /etc/asterisk/pjsip.conf
- Separated transports by IP address
- Public: 64.20.46.178:5060
- Tailscale: 100.64.0.2:5060
- NAT settings: rtp_symmetric, force_rport, rewrite_contact

---

##  Network Configuration

### Ports Required
| Port | Protocol | Purpose |
|------|----------|---------|
| 5060 | UDP/TCP | SIP Signaling |
| 10000-20000 | UDP | RTP Media (Audio) |
| 19302 | UDP | STUN (Outbound only) |

### SIP Phone Settings
```
Server: 64.20.46.178 (public) or 100.64.0.2 (Tailscale)
Port: 5060
Transport: UDP
STUN: stun.l.google.com:19302
Codecs: ulaw, alaw, gsm (in order)
```

##  What Caused the Audio to Stop?

The audio stopped working because:

1. **Missing core sound files** - Only 2 files existed instead of 700+
2. **System prompts not found** - Files like "agent-loginok", "pls-hold-while-try" didn't exist
3. **Wrong sound directory** - Some files in wrong location

The queue audio files (callcueue-*) were fine, but Asterisk couldn't play them because:
- No silence files for pauses
- No "calls", "in", "queue" words for announcements
- Missing baseline system prompts

---

##  What's Working Now

 All 738 core sound prompts installed
 Echo test (9196) works
 System sounds (*455) work
 Music on Hold (*77, *78) works
 Queue login/logout (*45, *46) with conditional audio
 Queue audio tests (*451-454)
 STUN server configured for NAT traversal
 Multiple transport bindings (public + Tailscale)
 Proper file permissions and ownership

##  Sound File Statistics

**Before Fix:**
- /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/: 2 files
- Total size: ~22 KB

**After Fix:**
- /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/: **738 files**
- Total size: **~12 MB** (ulaw + gsm formats)

**File Formats Available:**
- `.gsm` - GSM codec (2.4 MB package)
- `.ulaw` - G.711 μ-law codec (9.7 MB package)
- `.wav` - Custom queue prompts (user-uploaded)

---

##  Next Steps

1. **Test the echo extension** (9196) first
2. **Test system sounds** (*455)
3. **Test MOH preview** (*78)
4. **Test queue stats** (*77)
5. **Test queue functions** (*45, *46)

If echo works but others don't:
- Check `/var/log/asterisk/messages` for errors
- Verify sound file permissions
- Test specific files with *451-455

If echo is silent:
- Check firewall allows UDP 10000-20000
- Check phone STUN settings
- Try different network (WiFi vs cellular)

---

##  Important Notes

- All changes require `dialplan reload` to take effect
- RTP changes require Asterisk restart
- STUN only helps with NAT, doesn't fix firewall blocks
- Test extensions persist after restart (saved in extensions.conf)
- Sound files in GSM format preferred for lowest bandwidth
- MusicOnHold plays for max 120 seconds (configurable)
