There's a been a long standing issue with voicemail volume levels for files saved in WAV49 format as compared to WAV format. WAV49 is much smaller in emails and that's great, but it's also less than half the volume level than the exact same voicemail saved in WAV format. I've seen this mentioned by several others over the years in the mailing list -- has there been any

Hello list, I have the following in my voicemail.conf : [general] format=wav|wav49 When I receive a WAV-file from my Asterisk-server, I am unable to play the file... There is no player on my Fedora that wants to play the file. When I make my Asterisk-server unreachable, the incoming call goes to the voicemail of my ITSP. Don't know what system they use there but the mailing I get with the

Anybody know an easy way to adjust audio level of recordings made in Asterisk (using the 'record' application)? I've noticed that recordings using the "wav" format are about twice the level of those made using "WAV" or "wav49". Unfortunately, the "wav" recordings are uncompressed and about 10 times the size of the other formats. -brian

I would like to convert a file to WAV49 for use with Asterisk using the linux command line. Specifically I would like to upload sounds to use for unavail.wav and busy.wav, but I'd like them to be compressed so that space is not wasted. I tried using SOX but havent found the correct command-line options to make it or Asterisk happy. Ideas?

Hi, I'm running two boxes side by side, identical specs and setup but with differing dialplans. Both are on ast/zap/libpri versions 1.0.9. Both boxes share the same folder for voicemail, exported via NFS from another file server. Everything was working fine for an extended period of time, until just recently when someone rebooted Box A. Now when I dial an extension associated with a SIP

Dear asterisk users, I am presently playing with an asterisk@home. I am trying to find the best codec solution for my voicemail records.

I am having problems with * voicemail emails. It will only mail out the gsm encoded messages. I would really like it to use the wav49 format to make it easier on my user's. I have tried specifying it with just wav49, and like wav49|gsm. It emails nothing, but if I set it to gsm|wav49 then sure enough it emails it out. According to the wiki it should send whatever is specified first. Anyone

Hi, I tried to find a reference in terms of size but got back a bunch of tech documents and couldn't get the idea of wav49 format. wav49 format is supposed to be half the size of a normal wav right? so, how much disk space takes to save one minute of audio in wav49?

Hi, I noticed the .WAV file for voicemails is what gets e-mailed to people when someone leaves a voicemail. I also noticed today that I can not play the .WAV files on my macintosh or linux machines.
