When dtmfmode is set to inband for SIP, and i originate a call from sip out to the PSTN, I can hear the DTMF digit twice in the audio stream. Once very briefly and once for normal duration.

Our Theory: While Asterisk is parsing the DTMF, for a fraction of a second, while the end user generated DTMF is being detected, the DTMF is passed inband. Once the DTMF is detected Asterisk silences it and regenerates it. Sensitive machines like auto attendants pick up both the brief end user generated tone as well as the full length asterisk generated tone and ultimately perceive each digit twice.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have reproduced this in an environment
* with one asterisk server that is both the feature server and the media gateway, and is timing off of network T1s * with two servers, one feature server (timing off of ztdummy) and one media gateway (timing off of network T1s) using IAX as the inter asterisk protocol

It is pretty easy to reproduce:
-Dial a PSTN number(like your cell) from a sip phone using inband DTMF, and configured in asterisk sip.conf with dtmfmode=inband.
-Answer the PSTN end.
-Press and hold a digit on the sip phone. On the PSTN phone you will hear a very brief, end user generated, tone. -Let go of the digit on the sip phone. On the PSTN phone you will hear the asterisk generated tone.

Can anyone else hear the brief initial tone? Any help is greatly appreciated!

There is a good wiki article on DTMF:
