Sounds like * is loading chan_oss or chan_alsa. Two things that I've found that might help. 1. in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf add the following lines noload => chan_alsa.so noload => chan_oss.so 2. The other option which may sound bizarre but worked for me was to start * with esddsp like this esddsp asterisk -vvvgc My guess is that option 1 will solve you problem. --Karl > When I try to play sounds using the play or aplay command, it blocks until > I stop asterisk.
