Hi all, I am wanting to change the sound files from the standard ones to a New Zealand voice pack. I have copied the files into the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds directory and chowned them to asterisk:asterisk and chmod 420 to match the existing files but the system is still using the original files. The original files seem to be wav files while the NZ voice pack ones are gsm files. How do I get the system to use the new gsm files? Thanks Kate

Hi, try to delete old .wav ones. Why not using a sounds/nz subfolder and set language to nz?

Why not stick with the standard 644 or maybe 664? Anyway, the Asterisk user does not need to write access to the standard sound files.

I only did the 420 because thats what the original files looked like? r-- -w- --- Should I change this to 644?

Asterisk will choose the sound file which best matches the current audio format. I.E. if you have ulaw/alaw sounds and a ulaw/alaw conversation, Asterisk will use the alaw/ulaw sounds rather than the GSM ones. Either remove all files and only install GSM (and then put NZ over the top), or convert the NZ sounds to ulaw/alaw. Alternatively, make sure your call is in GSM. - -- Kind Regards, Matt Riddell Director _______________________________________________ http://www.venturevoip.com (Great new VoIP end to end solution) http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News - html) http://www.venturevoip.com/newrssfeed.php (Daily Asterisk News - rss) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIfU5oDQNt8rg0Kp4RAtBfAJ0dZVK9J8Qki5B01ZXMX6oiKqf7VgCeLVnA MpO+/VOYVYvQ7Ckz3JCfMZo=REJx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
