thanks! I wasn't clear enough in my original mail. What I meant

Yes, I know. That's what the DTMF menus in ConfBridge let you do.
thanks again. If I understand correctly, you are saying that there is
a
switch that allows a user to adjust the volume of the background
music
only, but the incoming speech that is coming in to him from other
users
will not get adjusted? That's awesome, but I can't find anything like
that in the docs.
No - what you stated was the volume of the stream that a user is
listening to is adjusted, but the volume of the conference is not changed!
I interpreted that as being the volume of the audio sent to the conference
participant. That can be manipulated directly in ConfBridge. However,
that affects all audio sent to that participant, which isn't apparently
what you want.
ConfBridge works by mixing the audio for all channels in the conference
and playing the resulting audio to each participant. You can affect
each participant, but you can't change that all of the audio is mixed
together first. If you want to play audio separately to each participant,
than you have to do something outside of the actual conference bridge itself.
Will your example
[bridge_user_menu]
*1=increase_listening_volume
1=increase_listening_volume
*2=decrease_listening_volume
2=decrease_listening_volume
not just decrease/increase the audio of *everything* that is coming
in
to the user, i.e. both music and speech? At least that it's how it's
explained in the documentation, isn't it?
Yes.
Decreases the caller's listening volume. *Everything* they hear will
sound quieter.
What I'm looking for is to adjust the incoming music only, not the
incoming speech. How is ConfBridge able to separate between these two
if
they are going on at the same time?
It doesn't; they are mixed together.
Done that couple of times, but I still don't see that feature.
I think there is still some sort of misunderstanding here. Maybe I'm
not
explaining it right...
Yup, that was a misunderstanding.
You could probably use ChanSpy to whisper the music

Your requirements are such that the only solution is to mix the audio for each participant individually. This is a rather expensive operation and not supported in either of the Asterisk conference applications, AFAIK. I can only think of one way of doing that: give each member their own conference and bridge one leg of that conference into the main conference. How to accomplish that is a bit beyond me though, but perhaps others can help. All the mixing is likely to cause a strain on your hardware, and the sound quality could suffer. /Benny -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Feeding different MP3 streams from outside sources to different participants is not possible in ConfBridge, as the bridging layer mixes the audio from the various channels and sends it to all participants. Manipulating the volume for each participant is possible. While feeding different MP3 streams to different users is not feasible, you can stream different MOH classes to different users by setting the music_on_hold_class user profile option for different ConfBridge users. You can also stream audio to a single channel using the playback menu option, but that's for relatively short messages, and not for MOH type situations. I've researched high and low and came up with the following pointers: - Dial with the G flag I'm not sure why transferring to a particular dialplan context would be needed here. If you wanted to bounce out to the dialplan while in a ConfBridge, that's possible using the dialplan_exec menu option. - ChanSpy, whispering You could always bounce out to the dialplan and execute a ChanSpy on the channel in the bridge, but that feels overly complex for what you're attempting to do. - VOLUME() This does the same thing under the hood that the ConfBridge listening/talking volume menu options do. - MOH connected to a local channel This would stream some music into the Bridge to all participants. You may want this to stream some MP3 file into the conference; on the other hand, it doesn't allow for the same granularity that the music_on_hold_class bridge profile option provides. - Queue that loops indefinitely This just scares me.

Call AGI, Log to DB, etc - whatever - and return to the conference. 3. Have a external program that manipulates the channel playing the music. For example this could be done by ChannelRedirect AMI to special dialplan extensions that lower and raises the volum. You can use System()-app in asterisk, or AGI for example. Then use AMI in the script. The music on hold could be implemented as a Local channel. a. Look at Originate-app, or Originate AMI command. One side of the call are connected to a context/extension/priority (for example: Meetme here). And the other end you dial Local/extension@context (for example: Here you play music). b. Prepare some extensions that lower/raises volume (look at func_volume) Good luck! /Johan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Yup, that was a misunderstanding.
You could probably use ChanSpy to whisper the music to each individual
participant. Something like this:
[conference]
exten = s,1,NoOp()
same = n,Set(GLOBAL(CONF_CHANNEL_NAME=${CHANNEL}))
same = n,Originate(Local/start_music@conference,exten,conference,moh,1)
same = n,ConfBridge(1)
exten = moh,1,NoOp()
same = n,MusicOnHold()
exten = start_music,1,NoOp()
same = n,Answer()
same = n,ChanSpy(${CONF_CHANNEL_NAME},w)
same = n,Hangup()
You may not want to use something more elegant than a global variable to
cache the name of the channel going into the conference or at least provide
some synchronization around it so that two channels entering the conference
don't step on each other, but this should point you in the correct direction.
As Johan mentioned, the trick to manipulating the volume on the Local channel
streaming the music is best handled externally through AMI. You can use
the Redirect AMI command to manipulate the channel into other dialplan
extensions that change the volume, then Redirect them back into the moh
extension. You could trigger that by using dialplan_exec menu actions
from the ConfBridge participant, and raise UserEvents that signal what
action the user wants to take.

[asterisk-users] One leg in a conference and adjusting stream volume of other leg
Hi all, I'm looking for some serious help. :) I couldn't find a better description for my problem... I think it is quite complex! Here's what I would like to achieve: A SIP caller dials into to my Asterisk 10. He will automatically listen to a specific MP3 stream. Other SIP callers dial also into my Asterisk. They all will automatically listen to the same MP3 stream. All callers automatically are joined into the same conference and are able to speak/hear each other at the same time they're listening to the stream. The tricky part: A caller may now press some digits on their their keypad, like 1, or 2, and this will have the effect that the volume of the stream is increasing or decreasing. BUT: When they adjust the volume of the stream, if effects only their stream, and not the volume of the stream of the other callers. In short: All callers at all times are *always* in the same conference, but each caller is able to increase or decrease the volume of their MP3 stream individually. If I'm right the MP3 stream cannot come from inside conference (MeetMe or ConfBridge with MOH) because there is no functionality to control the volume individually. So, I guess the basic foundation is a plain conference room without MOH, and then somehow the MP3 stream is joined to each caller individually, without bridging the audio into the whole conference ... I don't know where to start. Queue? Local channel? ... Thank you so much for any advise! I'm puzzled. :) Regards Markus -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
