+1 I saw this on incoming calls to an IVR off the PSTN. If I immediately started playing media, The caller wouldn't get the first little bit. Our fix for this was inserting a 1 second wait after answering the channel. Prior to playing the IVR message. Never seen this on an outbound call. Or inbound to a human. Generally, The human element inserts this same 1 second wait as they lift the receiver. Put it to their ear..Say hello...etc. Nick Olsen Network Operations (855) FLSPEED x106 ---------------------------------------- From: "Eric Wieling" <EWieling at nyigc.com> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 1:08 PM To: "Brian Taylor" <briant at socket.net>, "voiceops at voiceops.org" <voiceops at voiceops.org> Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Call established before audio path In my experience allow reinvites / directmedia, etc will cause a short delay in setting up audio. -----Original Message----- From: VoiceOps [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Brian Taylor Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 12:07 PM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: [VoiceOps] Call established before audio path We have customers who are reporting that when people call into them that the beginning of the greeting is not being heard. It appears that the phones think the call is ready before there is a complete audio path. We see this the most on calls that come in from the PSTN. Long distance or toll free calls are the worst. We have a Broadworks system that uses Lucent 5010 (Telica) switches for the connections to the PSTN. The symptom seems to be very similar for all of our PSTN connections, to multiple carriers. I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with this problem, or if anyone has any suggestions to get to the bottom of the issue. Any assistance or inspiration would be greatly appreciated.
