Tones not working after connecting with an IVR system
Rick:
I'm having trouble calling a company and then putting in tones for an extension. I've verified the issue is with GV / OBi since I can make the call fine on my cell.
I've tried both calling directly from my phone, and calling via GV on the computer and ringing my phone, which uses a different GV number (but both go through the OBi since I have no POTS). Neither works. I can make the call fine, the system answers, and when I put in the extension of the person I'm trying to reach (4 digits), it takes 2-3 of them. Even pushing zero for operator doesn't work.
For a test I called a different IVR (Delta), and it also had similar issues.
I've looked around on the GV forums and found no solutions. On the OBi forum I found this suggestion: Change the Phone port DTMFRxMode from "Hardware" to "Software". I tried that, and it made a difference on Delta, haven't check the other system.
Question - what exactly does that do and what might it affect adversely if anything? And is it a fluke that it worked, or is that the right thing to try?

I had this problem before, which is now ok after changed ITSP Profile A -> General -> DTMFMethod : InBand.

It looks like you changed it to Inband, then again had issues, so you changed it to Auto. Mine is set to Auto, which doesn't change anything.
The steps I took worked, I've asked OBi what that might do impact elsewhere and am awaiting an answer.

No, that's the story of another user.
It worked ok after changed to 'inband'.
Rick:
It's been posted that Inband can cause issues at times.
Since "Auto" doesn't work for me, I'm still waiting for comments on any bad effects from changing from "Hardware" to "Software". That seemed to resolve my issues, but I'd like to know what I may have unleashed... :)
