Command SayNumber gives Failed to obtain media

A have problems with SayNumber command on newly installed FreePBX 15.0.16.20. There is no sound for numbers played with SayNumber, but when I put eg. Playback(digits/90) in dialplan - it works fine. I tested this for en, en?_GB and fr languages using such simple dialplan (commenting out necessary lines):

[test]
exten => 100,1,NoOP(test)
 same => n,Set(CHANNEL(language)=en)
 same => n,SayNumber(90)
; same => n,Playback(digits/90)
 same => n,Hangup()

The log output during silent playing is:

Digit files in EN variant are available in 4 formats: ulaw, alaw, g722 and sln16, path is: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en/digits - all seems to be correct (this is newly installed system).
The only difference that comes to me analyzing logs is that log:
res_rtp_asterisk.c: Setting the marker bit due to a source update
occurs only when SayNumber command was issued.

Any ideas?

You are looking at debug messages which are just that, debug. The specific “Failed to obtain media” is because it’s not in the HTTP media cache which is expected. The sound file is playing back, so that’s not your problem.

Are you answering the channel before calling SayNumber? That is a behavior difference between Playback and it.

Thats it! The reason for this behavior was I didn’t answer call before calling SayNumber. Now it works! Thanks a lot.
