It appears you have determined that it is related to the audio codes, since
calls from a SIP trunk did not experience the same issue.

 

Are there configurations specific to that extension in your audio codes that
is different than your control extension?   Have you done a stare and
compare of the calls from SIP versus calls from Audio Codes to see what
might be different - codec, ports, etc.  I'd probably capture both with
wireshark so you can look at the graphs on the calls, and listen to the
audio streams as well.

Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Low Voicemail Message Volume

 

Ok, here's what I did yesterday. Sorry for not keeping completely up to the
moment.

I called in on every line on the AC (there's six) and left two voicemails,
one on the problem user and one on a "control" extension that did not have
the issues.

Every call exhibited the same thing. I did call in on a SIP did to that
extension and it did not have those issues. I switched ports on the
Audiocodes, with no change. I completely changed Audiocodes (had a new one
lying around) and still no change. I tried to up the gain to 15, which I had
previously only went to 10. This helped enough to where the user did not
have to up the phone volume to max to hear most of their messages. 

 

I connected to each line on the AC on the 66 block with a butt-in set and
experienced no low volume problems there or at the dmarc. I called in to
each line and answered on this particular extension and could speak without
volume problems. 

 

So currently we've had to sacrifice some static to get the voicemails. It
still confounds me as to why this is only a single user's mailbox that has
such bad volume problems. Thanks for all the input!

If the volume is low with a buttset, then it would be low no matter what is
was plugged into. Finding the offending line and turning it over to the
telco to fix "AFTER" you ensure it is not split 10 ways and being used as an
am radio antenna or something. Seriously, I have had analog lines so
horribly connected I could listen the the radio over the dial tone... and
its always the wrong station.

Yes, the only time I had this sort of issue it was line side.



Can you put an analog phone on each line and test it?

Just a thought - why don't you try swapping two of your analog lines going
into the audiocodes device.  Then call the other number - This would allow
you to know that it is not the line.  If it is not the line, I would then
try changing the autodial configuration on the audiocodes so you can swap
ports on the audiocodes.



This way you'll at least rule out non-sipx possibilities.

Ok, we have audiocodes inbound lines to the sipxecs system. Polycom
soundpoint IP 450's and internal voicemail on the sipxecs.



We have 25 users configured. One user checks their voicemail and they cannot
hear the recorded message. We originally thought that it was just the
caller. Later we found it was all the voicemails to this one user. You can
turn the volume up all the way it will go and you can almost hear the
messages, but then the prompts are so loud you can't stand it.

I've tried calling other mailboxes and do not experience this problem. We've
tried different phones calling in, we've even tried talking more loudly when
recording the message.

I have checked in that directory and pulled wav files from different
mailboxes and this user's files are just quiet and very hard to hear. Gain
changes did not help (but it was just a test anyway) it was not any louder
than before. I tried deleting it and allowing the system to recreate this
box, hoping that it would return to normal (yes, grasping at straws). Still,
the voicemail box records this user's messages with very low playback
volume, while other users have no problems hearing their voicemails.



Thanks for your response.
Lara

That makes no sense.  You tried this from a different phone?  Messing with
gain on your gateways usually leads to echo and static.  You haven't
described your configuration so we don't really have much to go on.



But to answer your question, just wipe out the mailbox directory.



The mailbox directories are in /var/sipxdata/mediaserver/data/mailstore

I have a single user on a SipXecs deployment that has unbearably low volume
on their voicemail messages.

I have tried adjusting the gain of the incoming voice to compensate
believing that it may have been the gateway. All other users seem to be
unaffected. You can record a voicemail for this user and replay it to
yourself and you cannot hear it even before you allow it to send. Speaking
louder and other methods to remedy all result the same. The prompts play
nice and loud when you put the phone volume to its highest setting and the
voicemail is meek in comparison. Sometimes the voicemails are
indecipherable.



I wanted to delete the mailbox and recreate it, but I do not know of a way
to do so. When you disable a user it just disconnects their access to the
voicemail box and if you re-enable them it just gives them the same box.

Any suggestions or solutions are welcome.
