I had my voicemail greeting professionally recorded, and trying to use that as a wav file. I followed instructions before of putting it in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/[vm context]/[mailbox]/unavail.wav and the voicemail admin shows there’s an unavailable greeting there, but it doesn’t play it when I dial the voicemail box. It’s in 44.1Khz stereo, which should work as thats the same format I used for my IVR greetings and those work fine.
Any ideas? Do I need to change anything for that to work? Is there a log file that tells if it’s erroring during playback?
Hi,
you can create logs by simply typing this on the asteriskCLI
CLI> core set verbose 10
CLI> core set debug 10
the verbose command helps you to see at which part of dialplan you are getting the error.
Rest for the wav file i would suggest that you should convert your wav file to another wav file with the following specification bit resolution: 16 bit
sampling rate: 8000Hz
audio channels: no change
normalization : not required
