[asterisk-users] sox convert gsm file
I am using centos 6.7 64 bit and sox to convert gsm files to wav. When I do that I used to get a header like: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 8000 Hz Now I get a header like: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, GSM 6.10, mono 8000 Hz And the file does not play in the browser (chrome). I use sox file.gsm file.wav I have tried: sox file.gsm -r 8000 -c 1 file.wav If I use the rasterisk convert file method - that works and has PCM not GSM but I need to use sox.

Re: [asterisk-users] sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3
sox -h will list the formats supported by your install of sox. If mp3 is not listed, then your sox does not support mp3. This is not uncommon. Many Linux distros do not ship support for patent encumbered formats. Either stop using mp3 (this is what I suggest) or compile and install sox with mp3 support. -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Kaushal Shriyan Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 8:12 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3 Hi, Can someone please comment about the below issue [root@host0040 kaushal]# file obd-demo.mp3 obd-demo.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 256 kBits, 44.1 kHz, Monaural [root@host0040 kaushal]# sox obd-demo.mp3 -e stat sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3 [root@host0040 kaushal]# sox -V obd-demo.mp3 -r 8000 -c 1 -t ul -w vm-intro.ulaw sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3 [root@host0040 kaushal]# sox -v 0.125 -V obd-demo.mp3 -t au -r 8000 -U -b -c 1 obd-demo.ulaw resample -ql -bash: obd-demo.ulaw: No such file or directory [root@host0040 kaushal]# sox -V obd-demo.mp3 -t au -r 8000 -U -b -c 1 obd-demo.ulaw resample -ql sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand foReply rmat type: mp3 [root@host0040 kaushal]# When i invoke the same obd-demo.mp3 it works perfectly fine host0040*CLI channel originate DAHDI/g0/xx Application MP3Player /home/kaushal/obd-demo.mp3 [Sep 9 16:44:56] DEBUG[12691]: sig_pri.c:985 sig_pri_request: sig_pri_request 1 [Sep 9 16:44:56] DEBUG[12691]: sig_pri.c:6427 sig_pri_call: CALLER NAME: NUM: -- Requested transfer capability: 0x00 - SPEECH -- Launching MP3Player(/home/kaushal/obd-demo.mp3) on DAHDI/i1/9833754756-1 [root@host0040 ~]# rpm -qa | grep sox sox-12.18.1-1.el5_5.1 [root@host0040 ~]# rpm -qa | grep lame lame-3.98.4-1.el5.rf lame-devel-3.98.4-1.el5.rf [root@host0040 ~]# MP3 support in SoX is optional and requires access to either or both the external libmad and libmp3lame libraries.

Re: [asterisk-users] sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3
1- *-bash: obd-demo.ulaw: No such file or directory* // try use absolute file path i.e /usr/src/mymp3.mp3 . I guess that's why its saying no such file or directory. 2- http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2006-March/144689.html Go through this thread. 3- When everything fails from sox - libraries dependencies issues I use http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html this converter. This can help you for some time for free.

[Asterisk-Users] sox and wav to gsm conversion quality issue
Hi, I have some voice prompts in WAV format (PCM, 44KHz, 16bit, mono, bitrate 705kbps) and I want to convert them in gsm format. Using : sox file.wav file.gsm The result is a gsm sound file which when is played the speed is very very low (something like 5-6 times slower). Converting first to a 8KHz, 8bit mono wave file, the final gsm file is correct, but the quality is far than acceptable. The original file is at a very high quality. Which is the procedure to obtain the highest quality possible from my original wav file?
