[asterisk-users] Voicemail- Recorded Mesage Low Volume
Asterisk Users,
I am running Asterisk 1.4.11, Zaptel 1.4.5.1, and Librpi 1.4.1 on a Debian
"Etch" system. On the recorded voice mail messages, the volume is
really low when retrieving them with my cell phone. I tried with multiple cell
phones with the volume level high and still, the same problem. I tried to
increase the rxgain to 12.2 in the zapata.conf file and it had no affect on the
volume. So, tried to add the "g" option on the asterisk voicemail
command, like this:
exten => s-NOANSWER,1, Voicemail(u${EXTENSION}|g(10))
and the volume remained the same. I cannot find any good suggestions on the
internet in dealing with this issue.
Can the volume of the recorded voice mail message be changed? If so, what I
am doing wrong? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best Regards,
John

[asterisk-users] Spam: Voicemail- Recorded Mesage Low Volume
Do you see the same volume issues dialing in with a 'normal' POTS phone?
Are these the standard recordings that come with Asterisk or some custom
recordings?

[asterisk-users] Spam: Voicemail- Recorded Mesage Low Volume
When people leave me messages, both on the cellphone and POTS phones, on the
recorded Asterisk voicemail message volume is really low. I could barely hear
my voicemail messages, when retrieving them, either cellphone or POTS line.
The voice mail prompts and sound recordings are fine, but the problem lies when
people leave voicemails on the Asterisk box. I could barely hear my voicemail
messages.
What can cause this?
Best Regards,
John

Any input would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks.I had a similar problem in our setup where we e-mail the recorded messages to e-mail retrieval. But this also helps standard phone retrieval too. What I did was edit the /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk script and add: PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" At the top of the script. This would let me override the default sox implementation that Asterisk uses. Then I loaded in a script (called sox) that would compress and normalize the recorded audio (It compresses to deal with the spikes of the noise of the handset being hung up, etc.). It works pretty well for us and makes the volume pretty good so we don't have to crank up the volume on our computers or phones to listen to voicemail messages. And we can't adjust the rxgain as it is already a good volume for normal calls.
