Environment:Attachments:( 0) press-1-press-2.wav
Description:Playback of a gsm file failes with codec ulaw (tested with X-Lite (SIP), ip10 (MGCP) and ISDN BRI). Playback works with codec gsm and X-Lite. The original wav files was converted to gsm using sox.

I hope this is not a sox issue... if need be I can also provide my resulting gsm file

1. You converted it wrong.

asterisk brian # file 1-press-2.wav
1-press-2.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 16000 Hz

2. the proper syntax for sox is:

sox infile.wav -r 8000 -c 1 outfile.gsm

Do not put 16000hz files in the sounds directory.

Outch... I feel ashamed... ;->

However, the funny thing is that the same problem persists if I convert as you suggested...

Ok, now I got it:
I left the original .wav files lying in the same dir as the converted .gsm files. Obviously * first takes a look at the wav files before considering .gsm...

Yes * will always choose the wave over the GSM! :)
