Based on reviews on a few sites I thought I'd try the ulaw sound pack here:

http://www.aussievoip.com.au/wiki/astLinux+Asterisk+Sounds

But when I replace all the files in the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds directory with those in the archive, I get slience on the line when calling a conference number or voicemail, and no errors whatsoever logged in the console (just notice that the call is prematurely hanging up).

Per instructions across a few wikis, I also reestablished symbolic links and permissions for the sounds directory:

chown -R asterisk:asterisk ../sounds
cd sounds
ln -s /var/spool/asterisk/vm vm
ln -s /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail voicemail

Has anyone got these sound files working? Thanks for your help!

Why not share

ja133,

Why not share the step-by-step with the whole community? I'd certainly like to kill the bad sounds that come by default with trixbox too!

sure, i might have a hard time explaining it through writing so PM me if you cant understand anything

i use voicevector.com and i use the ulaw pack. so, on SSH, type:

cd /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
mv sounds sounds.old
wget http://www.voicevector.com/voicepacks/sounds-amer-fem-1.0-ulaw.tg...
tar -xzf sounds-amer-fem-1.0-ulaw.tgz
cd sounds
ln -s /var/spool/asterisk/vm vm
ln -s /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail voicemail

if you have sounds in the "custom" folder of the original sound folder (sounds.old), please move them to the new sound folder. used winSCP to copy "custom" to the new sound folder

let me know how it works

Works Great, but..

ja133,

It works great, though you may want to change your first instruction.... it should be:

cd /var/lib/asterisk

you have a /sounds at the end of it, but you can't move a directory you are it...

Do I need this?
Mon, 08/27/2007 - 2:50pm

I am running TB 2.2.4. The recordings I have seem to be OK. Is there any reason I should use these updated sound files?

thanks!

uLaw versions of files already in 2.2.4!

After a little checking, I see that the OP link archive's files are already in the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds directory, in ulaw format.

They must have been folded into */tb in late 06/early 07.

So, there is no need to do anything (excellent question Charles).
