Asterisk does not support mp3 for an IVR. Convert it to wav, WAV, SLN etc.
The default directory is /var/lib/asterisk/sounds. I personally create my own directory in there so I would do something like: mkdir /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/my_prompts. In the IVR menu when you want to play a file you would do Background(my_prompts/file_name).
As far as setting up a system and configurations you need to give a bit more details such as do you want all phones to ring ? Do you want a queue ? Do you want to append the caller ID ?
Hi,
I have to voice menus. But I have some small problems. When I have created a conversation then shut it down after 20 seconds. And I have trouble getting played by the wav files.
