AstLinux 0.7.1 and later, no longer are sound files included in the default image. This provides several benefits:

  1. The download image has been reduced (~25% smaller) to approximately 30MB.
  2. Users can choose to install more than just the core sounds, or non-english sounds.
  3. For some users, better quality sound playback will be achieved.

Using the web interface, click on the System tab and view the Asterisk Sound Packages section.
Asterisk Sounds
Usually a 'core' and 'moh' sound package using your native codec is all that is necessary, or at least a good start.
Note: The default “Sounds Pkg URL” currently supports English, Spanish and French.

Alternately, the CLI can be used to manage sounds packages:

To add the Core-English-ulaw Sound Package:
$ upgrade-asterisk-sounds upgrade core en ulaw

To add the Music-on-Hold ulaw Sound Package:
$ upgrade-asterisk-sounds upgrade moh en ulaw

To remove the Extras-French-alaw Sound Package:
$ upgrade-asterisk-sounds remove extra fr alaw

The available options for the upgrade-asterisk-sounds command is as follows:

Usage: upgrade-asterisk-sounds upgrade|remove|remove-all|show
core|extra|moh
en|es|fr
ulaw|alaw|gsm|wav|g729|g722
[sounds_repository_url]

Note: The remove-all option will remove all files in the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ and /var/lib/asterisk/moh/ directories! Most users will want to use the remove option instead.
