Asterisk Users,

I am running Asterisk 1.4.11, Zaptel 1.4.5.1, and Librpi 1.4.1 on a Debian "Etch" system. On the recorded voice mail messages, the volume is really low when retrieving them with my cell phone. I tried with multiple cell phones with the volume level high and still, the same problem. I tried to increase the rxgain to 12.2 in the zapata.conf file and it had no affect on the volume. So, tried to add the "g" option on the asterisk voicemail command, like this:

exten => s-NOANSWER,1, Voicemail(u${EXTENSION}|g(10))

and the volume remained the same. I cannot find any good suggestions on the internet in dealing with this issue.

Can the volume of the recorded voice mail message be changed? If so, what I am doing wrong? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best Regards,
John

You'd want to fiddle with the txgain(Transmit)

He might actually want to deal with rxgain, because it could be
perceived as a low volume coming into the box from the PSTN, hence being
'received' into asterisk...?

Thanks.

I had a similar problem in our setup where we e-mail the recorded
messages to e-mail retrieval. But this also helps standard phone
retrieval too. What I did was edit the /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk script
and add:

PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

At the top of the script. This would let me override the default sox
implementation that Asterisk uses. Then I loaded in a script (called
sox) that would compress and normalize the recorded audio (It
compresses to deal with the spikes of the noise of the handset being
hung up, etc.). It works pretty well for us and makes the volume
pretty good so we don't have to crank up the volume on our computers
or phones to listen to voicemail messages. And we can't adjust the
rxgain as it is already a good volume for normal calls.
