similar to: Can not play WAV-files attached to mail from my own Asterisk

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 Happy New Year! I succesfully installed the Ports of Zaptel BSD 1.4.0 and Asterisk 1.4.13 (that's the latest in the Ports). To save CPU, I'd like to play PCM WAV files instead of eg. GSM. Per... www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Convert+WAV+audio+files+for+use+in+Asterisk ... I recorded a sample of my voice using XP's Sound Recorder, then ran the following : sox test_wav.wav -r

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?

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

Hello list, I read on voip-info.org that Asterisk 1.4 support T38 passthrough. So I guess this means that I can have a Grandstream HT503 with T38 support and an analogue faxmachine on the other side of my Asterisk and a T38-account with a ITSP on the other side of my Asterisk machine, right ?! The fax coming from the faxmachine passes the HT503 to my Asterisk and my Asterisk sends the fax to

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. I *can* play the .WAV files on my Windows machines. I can play the .wav files on either machine. Can someone explain what's different about the .WAV files and how do I get them to play on

Hi there, I am using redhat 9.0 with asterisk 1.0.7. I created an user and was be able to leave voice messages to that user and retrieve the voice message.

Hello, When a voice message is saved and e-mailed as a wav, the total time of the voice mail does not show up in, e.g., windows media player, why is this? I have only used wav49/wav: ; Use wav49 format for all voicemail messages format=wav49|gsm|wav Justin.

Hello, all. I'm running Asterisk 1.6.1.6 on CentOS 5.3 in a multi-tenant environment with IMAP voice mail storage on Zimbra. One of our clients is having a problem when transferring voice mails from one mailbox to another (option 8 in the standard voice application menu) using their Snom 320 and 360 phones. The end results is the final recipient cannot listen to the voicemail. We also email

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

I have the voicemail format set to wav49 in my voicemail.conf file. When retrieving voicemails, the first message plays back ok - but then Asterisk hangs up and the log shows the following error. Any idea what's up? May 19 12:57:24 VERBOSE[7860]: Asterisk Ready. May 19 13:48:51 WARNING[7860]: Not a wav file 49 May 19 13:48:51 WARNING[7860]: Unable to open fd on

Hi All, When our users receive a voicemail we send it attached to an email. It used to work fine, encoded in wav49 and read by Windows media player. Recently the default player in the company has become VLC which is unable to read wav49. I am trying to use OGG/VORBIS instead of wav49. I can't get it working: In voicemail.conf: format = ogg The result is as follow: [Mar 11 09:42:17]

Someone submitted a bug about wav49 voicemail problems with the Windows Media Player here http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000254 bkw918 changed the status of the bug to resolved because he could not reproduce the error with his version of Windows Media Player.

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

Hello list ! I have some configuration issues with queues, but I'm sure they are minor and for someone who has already configured queues it could be trivial.

How can I play wav49 or gsm voicemail files on FC6? Nothing seems to play them (hxplay, xine, mplayer, etc). I think I have all the normal codec packages installed. I can play regular wav files, but they're too big. - Mike

I've recently installed asterisk and am working with the email a voicemail function. When a voice msg is left 4 files are created in the /var/spool. directory. They are .gsm, .txt, .wav and .WAV. The .wav (lower case) has the actual audio in it, the .WAV is a short blank audio file. When * emails the message it is sending the .WAV and not the .wav file. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

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? I trying to do some capacity planning for a voicemail server. -- ------------------------------------------------------------
