I meant there's audio from pstn to fs1, but indeed I'm observing no audio between fs1 and fs2.

What api should I call with api on answer..?

If you see rtp glowing both ways, then this is not the stalemate I was talking about. The scenario I’m referring to is about FS not starting sending rtp waiting for the other side to start sending, and the other side doing the same thing, thus going into a stalemate. This is solved by injecting a silence (I would do api_on_answer).

What you’re describing seems different to me.

I'm using dialplan bridge, so then the dialplan is over. How do I send silence after the bridge...? An api_on_answer with a uuid_broadcast..  seems overly complicated.

<action application="bridge" data="sofia/external/number@yyy.bestfone.com"/> 


(And I don't know why there isn't audio - I had to set up an audio to get to this options in the IVR... so there's already audio. And Server B also started a file playback so should have initiated audio.)

I seem to remember Brian saying this was because FS is waiting for the remote end to send audio before starting itself. I believe he recommended sending an empty (silence) to force the audio stream to be sent even if fs hasn’t received anything.

I started a new thread in case anyone muted it... it wasn't simply a network issue.

It seems the bridging occurs and dialplan processes, but no media flows - until DTMF from the A-leg.
Call flow: PSTN (via carrier) to freeswitch A -> media and IVR -> freeswitch B.

Calls directly from carrier to Freeswitch B are fine.
Calls from a different carrier to Freeswitch A -> media and IVR -> Freeswitch B are also fine.
So it sounds like a carrier/unique SIP/RTP issue, but since FS is in the media path, it's an FS issue...


I actually mcguyvered this right now with a queue_dtmf before the bridge, to force the audio stream to update.

Here's the log on freeswitch B:

You can see a 10 second gap between call ready 200 and correct audio/ip and file done playing (it's a 2 second file), and this doesn't happen automatically, only when I choose to press something.


Any ideas as to the root cause of this?

Subject: Bridge to other FS server has no audio ???
To: FreeSWITCH Users Help <FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org>


Any ideas on why a call doesn't have media? It used to work, but I think my upstream changed his SDP again.

- FreeSWITCH Server A - call comes in and bypass_media bridges to FS server B. Media works.
- FreeSWITCH Server A - call comes in and bridges to FS server B (not on bypass). Media works.
- FreeSWITCH Server A - call comes in, gets answered, then bridges to FS server B. Call looks OK, but no media is flowing (I don't hear anything, PCAPs just have SIP, and there isn't 80kbps network traffic). All the same codecs are set in the json cdrs (PCMU).

FS server B is to join a conference if that matters.

I was assuming it had to do with codecs, but setting absolute_codec_string to PCMU doesn't make any difference in the logs  - it's already always PCMU.

I have NO clue what further could cause this other than codecs, which seem to be fine. Any ideas please?
