Problems Playing An Audio File Over An Intercom/paging System

All;

I’m running Asterisk 11.6-cert9 and am trying to play a pre-recorded audio file to extensions using the Page() command. The dial plan looks like this:

exten => s,n,Page(${AVAILCHANS},A(${AUDIOMSG})) and the paging by itself works great. However, when I try it with the audio file, it starts to play correctly, then abruptly hangs up after 6 or 7 seconds. When I turn debug on, this is what I see:

I’m thinking that this could be NAT related. My Asterisk server has a public IP address, but my extensions are behind a NAT if that helps any. My extension configs have “nat=force_rport,comedia”. I could really use some insight with this and would be very grateful for any help at all.
