 Have you tried the new gain (g) option for the voicemail application?

 From 'show application voicemail':
 
 g(#) - Use the specified amount of gain when recording the voicemail
  message. The units are whole-number
decibels (dB).
 
 I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I hope it works. Incoming

 voicemail messages from analog ports are extremely quiet.

Nope: news to me. I'll give it a shot.

Thank you!

 Hi,
 Yes, I'm using wav for my
recording and the file is quite large.

I too am using WAV files because of the volume issue:
WAV files are shifted two bits louder than any other format. (slight
details here: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2005-September/124570.html)
That means I'm getting 1MB voicemail files e-mailed to me. It's
not that big of a deal, but it's kind of stupid.

Any word on if the shifted-bits nature of the WAV
format is present (or even better: selectable) on any of the other
formats in 1.2? Or might this be a post-1.2 feature worth considering?

I haven't programmed in C in a good 10 years or so.
But this one motivates me. I'm pretty sure I can hack a simple
x = x  2; in there, but making it selectable from within the voicemail
configuration file (or wherever else it should go) would be much tougher
for me. Might there be a similar selectable feature that I could
examine and get an idea of how to do it? Any voicemail experts out
there?

You'll find the GSM codec renders smaller filesizes.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Recording voice messages in mp3 format

Hi,
Is there a way so that I can record the voice messages in mp3 format
instead of wav? I think it is much smaller in size compare to wav. It is
also easier to send small sized file as an attachment. Currently when my
users record voice messages the format is wav. Where can I configure it so
that it will become mp3?

Thanks,
Ryan

Are you using wav or wav49? You can check in 
/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf under the format option... wav49 creates 
much smaller files than normal wav and doesn't need a special player 
like gsm files would and as far as using mp3, I'm not sure how to go 
about that.
