I did more testing.
Here is a portion of extensions.conf on asterisk-pri:
exten => 5,1,Dial(DAHDI/g1/14186939930,30)
exten => 6,1,Answer
exten => 6,2,Wait(30)
exten => 7,1,Dial(DAHDI/g1/14186939930,30,D(132412983#))
Here is an expert from asterisk :
exten => 22,1,Dial(SIP/6@pri,30,D(132412983#))
exten => 24,1,Dial(SIP/5@pri,30,D(132412983#))
If I type "console dial 24", the DTMFs work poorly, and I see messages
like :
[Apr 24 11:26:20] DTMF[2691]: channel.c:2907 __ast_read: DTMF end
emulation of '1' queued on DAHDI/1-1
[Apr 24 11:26:20] DTMF[2691]: channel.c:2802 __ast_read: DTMF end '1'

[Apr 24 11:26:20] DTMF[2691]: channel.c:2842 __ast_read: DTMF end
accepted with begin '1' on DAHDI/1-1
[Apr 24 11:26:20] DTMF[2691]: channel.c:2851 __ast_read: DTMF end '1'
has duration 39 but want minimum 80, emulating on DAHDI/1-1
If I type console dial 22 on asterisk, all the DTMFs are 60ms in length
and I get no unusually long DTMFs.
If I type console dial 7 on asterisk-pri, all the DTMFs are properly
sent, and the remote party sees my DTMFs perfectly.
So it would seem that the bug occurs when one asterisk calls the second
asterisk which bridges to a DAHDI channel.
My next step is too compare the SIP signalling between the two calls.
Maybe something is different.
What I find really weird is that the DTMF is incorrectly sent from the
first asterisk only when the second asterisk bridges to DAHDI.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I installed Asterisk 1.6.2.17.3 ( latest as of yesterday ) and had
multiple problems with DTMF.
I have two machines, we'll call them asterisk and asterisk-pri.
Asterisk does IVR and asterisk-pri has a PRI card in it and connects
to the PSTN. The two servers communicate via SIP with RFC2833.
I setup logger.conf on both machines to display DTMF to the console.
Both are built from source.
Asterisk : spandsp, dahdi, asterisk.
Asterisk-pri : spandsp, libpri, dahdi, asterisk wanpipe
I eliminated AGI, hard phones, network et al by setting up this
extension :
exten => 22,1,Dial(SIP/[email protected],30,D(132412983
<mailto:SIP/[email protected],30,D%28132412983>#))
in default.
The only other non default setting is in sip.conf I added a
outboundproxy ( which does NOT do RTP, only SIP ).
I called asterisk from my hard phone ( gxp2000 ) by dialing 22.
I see the console DTMF messages indicating the DTMF was sent or
received. ( I forgot to keep this output ).
I than watch the console DTMF output on asterisk-pri and it showed
about half the DTMFs. The pager that was called showed the DTMFs that
appeared on the asterisk-pri console.
So somewhere between the two machines, the DTMFs have disappeared. So
I ran TCPDump on asterisk and saw that close to half of the DTMF
events were never sent.
tcpdump -i eth0 -n -s 0 dst asterisk-pri-ip -vvv -w ~/dtmf.pcap
I imported the file into wireshark on my local machine and confirmed
that the dump almost matches what I saw on asterisk-pri.
So, problem 1 : Asterisk is not sending all the DTMFs to asterisk-pri.
I compared the packet scan to what I saw on asterisk-pri and noticed
that between 1 and 3 dtmfs were missing.
Problem 2 : Asterisk-pri loses some received DTMFs.
I also noticed that some of the DTMFs coming out of asterisk had the
wrong Event Duration. I had one DTMF with a duration of about 58000 (
I believe that's 58 seconds ) but I only pressed the button for like
1/3 of a second.
What I do not understand is that I in my final test last night was
using asterisk 1.6 current with centos ( os that asterisk is developed
on from my understanding ) with all default settings ( excluding
logger.conf, dialplan and outboundproxy ) and I am having problems
with the DTMF.
Both servers were installed with CentOS 5.5 and were updated last
night, after which I reinstalled asterisk. This did not resolve the issue.
I am at wit's end and do not know where to go from here. I would
really appreciate it if someone could give me some pointers on where
to go next, what additionnal debugging steps I should perform. I would
also really appreciate if someone could propose a solution.
Please help!
