first off, I want to thank you guys for putting up with all my crying about wav email attachment volume ... a couple of you were kind enough to compare hardware setups with me, sent me samples of what your voice mail attachments sound like and so on ...thank you, thank you ...I have figured it out and frankly I am not sure I would have if you guys had not talked me through it ... it turns out is something odd with the office Windows XP workstation I normally get my email on ... when I move the voicemail attachments from that machine over to my CentOS machine and playback using Audacity, the voicemail attachments are quite usable ... they are far from being LOUD but at least I can hear them clearly ...So, the puzzle is solved ... now I have to figure out what the heck is going on with my Windows workstation and if this is something unique to this one if its something that is common to the 12 similar workstations I need this to work on at the office ...Bottom line is the problem appears to be Windows related, not related to either Asterisk or Astlinux ... if this question comes up again, tell them to try listening to the attachment on another computer ... this was counter intuitive for me because my workstation seems to play other WAV files quite well ... but it turned out to be the problem in my case ...Thanks againG.Hendershot

Tom:
hmmmm ... interesting ... that is pretty much same as what I am doing ... I hate puzzels ...
I am such a noobie at Astlinux that I would normally just assume I had screwed up a minor config issue somewhere ... but my setup here is so generic I cant for the life of me think of how I might have messed it up ...
I am using pretty decent hardware, a reliable commercial grade SIP DID provider, Cisco SIP 7960 phone v8.2 , Astlinux 4.3 ... my setup as I mentioned is so vanilla its very nearly canned ... wanted to get everyting working reliably before I tortured it with some of my more esoteric requirements ...
The voice mails that I pull using the Cisco phone sound GREAT !!! ... but that darn WAV attachment has NO volume ... way it is right now its pretty much not useable ...
I find it depressing that it seems to work for you ... what are you doing that is different that what I am doing ???

my setup is all SIP and I am wondering if there is something going on with a codec conversion that might be in some way related to SIP ... I do not think this is a problem that is specific to Astlinux ... I had the same problem a long time ago with generic Asterisk but it went away about the time v1.09 was released and now seems have returned in v1.2.11 ... on my SIP only setup, the volume of the attached voicemail even with the sound card turned all the way up can hardly be heard ...

I'm using wav49 and my messages in e-mail are coming through loud and clear. My sound card volume is set at half and I've had to turn down the volume control on my headset to make things sound comfortable. No volume problems here.

G,
I wouldn't expect too much (any) difference between gsm and wav49
anyways. They are exactly the same audio format, wav49 just has some
microsoft-ish headers attached so that it plays back in Windows.
As far as the issue overall, I don't know how it could be AstLinux
specific. I only apply the bare minimum necessary patches to get
Asterisk to compile under uclibc. Nothing more. If it happens in
AstLinux, it should happen in any other distro. Have you tried 1.2.10
on any others?
