Ring Groups don't work right...

[w1ve]

Maybe I should post it on FREEPBX, instead of here?
However, i think some other people here are having the same issue.

I have an Inbound Route that goes to a RINGALL Ring Group. When calls come in, both phones ring fine. However, when you go to answer the call, randomly you get either: no audio at all, or audio in one direction only. Their seems to be a problem in the bridging.

The trunk side is VOIP and I'm using PAP2NA's on the extension side.

If I re-wire the route to go direcly to the extension, all is well and good.

I think I saw somewhere that if I put an announcement before the connection, it will work. However, this PBX is my home PBX, and people think it is an answering machine if I do that.

My WAF (Wife Appreciation Factor) is getting low!

Any suggestions? The idea for the ring groups was to be able to answer incoming calls from a bunch of different phones.

I saw where an IVR was the solution. I think Ward had a stealth auto attendant setup that might do the trick for you.

Ward, think that might help here?

did you see this post on the freepbx forum? it sounds related and is exactly the problem I had using follow me.

I can't find the answer to the issue anywhere. Guess I'll have to setup an IVR and test that.
