Hi Guys. I've had a lay off from Asterisk for 12 months but I am starting to look into it again. I am not very Linux savvy and found it hard going the last time. I've started playing with it in the last 3 weeks and I have to admit to making more head way this time. The first problem I'm stuck on and I cant find a solution to is that sound files that I have recorded (be it by creating a temp file from an extension number, or by recording in .wav) will not play when I try to create a menu in the extension.conf The relevant lines are: exten => s,1,Wait,2 exten => s,2,Answer exten => s,3,Background(mainmenu) The mainmenu.gsm is sitting in the sounds folder. I get an error on the console saying: -- Executing Wait("SIP/timg-a4e6", "2") in new stack -- Executing Answer("SIP/timg-a4e6", "") in new stack -- Executing BackGround("SIP/timg-a4e6", "mainmenu") in new stack Jun 11 12:33:00 WARNING[1209214400]: file.c:464 ast_openstream: File mainmenu d oes not exist in any format Jun 11 12:33:00 WARNING[1209214400]: file.c:752 ast_streamfile: Unable to open mainmenu (format ULAW): No such file or directory == Spawn extension (default, s, 3) exited non-zero on 'SIP/timg-a4e6' What am I doing wrong guys???

Not totally. I did read an archive that said DON'T put .gsm or .wav on the end (I have to admit to trying) so I assumed paths was a no-no as well. Shall I try it??

It worked! Cool I assumed that as the demo sounds didn't have paths, mine wouldn't need them either.
