Hi,

Has anyone had any success with the sound files found here?


http://www.g7ltt.com/VoIP/vmfiles.html

The tar files download OK, but the contents do not extract.

Many thanks


Matthew

Works for me. I also tried using gunzip on the file, and it
seemed to think it was OK - but mentioned 'trailing garbage ignored'.

It looks as if all the files are there though - and I've played a
few of them to check.

Regards,
Harry.

The WAVs certainly play OK. I've not tried the GSM ones yet.

Would I choose either, or both.......? (If I want to use them)

I'd also /really/ like to know how to use a WAV to replace the actual
personalised greeting, rather than just the system sounds.

Which bit of the personalised greeting do you want to change?

just tried to d/l again.

Upload to the asterisk box...


tar -xvf vmukmale.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


Any ideas?

Thanks

The bit that you would record by dialing into voicemail and selecting 0 for
mailbox optons, then 1 to record your unavailable message.

I'm not a lover of my own recorded voice but have a wav that I would like to
use.

It did, thank you.

Strange, though. It works as I want it too now, yet I've already tried the
steps mentioned before and it didn't work.

Oh well, it's working now!

OK, silly question....

Where did you extract them to?

I've put them in var/lib/asterisk/sounds, but I still get the
australian prompts I installed earlier!

Do I need to change any ownerships or rights?

Thanks

That's strange.

Are you sure you're extracting the right files?

When I put new sounds in, they change immediately.

Could you use something like WinSCP3 to just copy them over? (Assuming you
use Windows at all, that is)

You could even use WinSCP3 to check the contents of var/lib/asterisk/sounds.
If you have Quicktime installed, you can play back the gsm files by
double-clicking them in WinSCP3.

In my case - a random directory to test them. I don't run Asterisk
so can't comment on how they integrate.

I was just checking there was no fundamental prob with the files,
which, as far as I can test, there isn't.

Regards,
Harry.

Something funny happened there....

Just installed WinSCP3 and used that - very simple and effective.

Voice prompts now working.

Just need to find a way to save the nuance prompts!

Cheers Jono!

They're a piece of cake.

Once downloaded, open in say Nero Wave Editor. Join up any short files to
make one long file. Go to Edit, Convert Sample Rate. Choose 8000Hz
(Telephone) & 16 Bit (CD and DAT). Untick Stereo. OK. Save.

All done.

Try 'file vmukmail.tar' to see what type of file it is.

I suspect it is a GZIP-ed tar file, with the extension stripped by the
browser you downloaded it with. If it is, try 'mv vmukmail.tar
vmukmail.tgz ; tar -zxvf vmukmail.tgz'.
