Bob,

Declare a command for playing the file...

8901=localplay,/etc/asterisk/msg/tailmessage   (don't forget to restart after saving file)

or execute from a cli>

If it dosn't play, probably a format problem. Check sample rate etc... (8bits)

Yes, you should hear it from the audio output, same as any other audio.
I use low bitrate wav files myself. You probably should use the "gsm" format for files.

Thanks Mike,
 
;  *** Tail Messages ***
tailmessagelist=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/info
tailmessagetime=7200000   ;60 Minutes between tail messages
tailsquashedtime=600000   ;10 minutes
 
info.ulaw is located as described; same as the other computer.
 
How do you play it manually? Can this be done within asterisk so I hear it from the URI?
 
Is it possible I need to load a different codec for this new computer? It is an Atom with nm10 chipset; same as old board I’m replacing with this one.
 
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,
 
A couple of things come to mind about your problem.
 
a) Be sure path to files is described if not the default.
 
b) be sure the sound file format is correct (can you play it manually?)
 
c) tail message list is a coma separated list. look for type errors.
 
tailmessagelist=/etc/asterisk/msg/tmsg1,/etc/asterisk/msg/tmsg2,/etc/asterisk/msg/tmsg3 ;tail msg list

For some reason, my new ACID load (new computer) is not playing my commanded tailmessagelist, but is playing what sounds like a default tailmessage; female voice giving the time. What could be the issue? I’m using the same tailmessage lines from another setup that is playing my recorded message.
 
Thanks,
