NEW New Asterisk Sounds Libraries

[wardmundy]

Allison has released new versions of all the core Asterisk sounds. All are available here.

is there anyway to install these as an update or do we have to do it manually?

looks like what I have is 13.7.1 so a upgrade to current should do it then eh?

So for those of us running 13.6.0/Fpbx 12.0.74 is there a super duper Ward Mundy script that will update us *and* get the new sounds? Last time I updated a lab machine to 11.20.x to resolve a high CPH traffic issue it killed mp3 and sounds, so I won't be doing *THAT* again!

Nevermind, found this:

Running it now, will see if it picks up the new sounds.

Updated to 13.7.2 successfully, no idea if that included the new sounds or not.

Look at the dates on the files.

Aug 29/2014 & May 7/2015 in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en. So I guess they didn't get included.

Not that hard to do manually. Go to the directory. Download the tarball. Untar it. Remove the tarball. Otherwise, you have to select the sound files you desire in menuconfig before recompiling Asterisk.

Which I did during the upgrade. I can do the manual way too.

Did the upgrade to Asterisk 11.21.2 and found out that the new sounds were not there either. Did the manual download from downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/

Definitely a big improvement.
