V15: Converting Unsupported Files to Wav On this topic Introduction Version 15 and earlier would allow the import of unsupported Wav and mp3 files and convert them on the fly during playback. This process created high CPU usage and unnecessary threads so we removed this conversion. Prompt files need to be prepared correctly. We have found that many customers used unsupported prompts in their installations. These must be converted PRIOR to upgrading to SP2. (Available in the coming weeks) You can prepare for this change by making the conversion now.

Mono wav files

Oct 21, 2011  I am trying to record a greeting for our phone system but the system requires a WAV file with 8 bit, 8 Khz, mono, u-law. I recorded a file and tried to export but I only see 16 bit.

Failure to do so will result in the prompt not being played, and callers calling will hear silence. All the 3CX supplied prompts are already in the correct format. You just need to convert the prompts you used for IVR, Queues and custom system prompt sets. Run for cover band.

Prompts need to be like this: Format: WAV Channel: Mono Bit rate: 8 kHz Sample: 16 bit Convert a WAV file automatically within 3CX (Windows) We have developed a tool that can do this conversion automatically and convert all incorrect audio files in your 3CX Installation. • Download • Place the ZIP anywhere on the 3CX machine and extract the zip. You will end up with 2 exe files. • Double click on '3CXConvertPrompts.exe' • A command line process will start that will prompt you to stop the following services: 3CX Media Server, IVR Server and Queue Manager Service.

• After services are stopped, press enter to start the conversion. All prompts will be automatically converted and when done you will see 'Conversion completed.

The stopped services can be restarted.' Press any key to exit the tool. • Start the following services: 3CX Media Server, IVR Server and Queue Manager Service. All your prompt files will be converted. You can proceed to update to SP2.

(You can also do this procedure after the update if you wish). Convert a WAV file (Manual) To convert a file you can use a free tool like “Audacity”. • Download Audacity: and install it. • Click on “File > Open” and locate the file you want to convert. • On the left side you will see the current properties of the file. In this case the problem is that the bit rate is 16000 Hz, this has to change. • Go to the “Project Rate (Hz)” dropdown and change to 8000.

• Click on “File > Export Audio” and the “Save As” dialog will appear. • Enter a name and select “Save as type: WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM”. • You can now upload this file via the 3CX Management console. Convert an MP3 or Stereo to Mono Channel If your WAV file is MP3 or Stereo, do the following: • After opening the file, click on the arrow depicted below.

• Select “Split Stereo to Mono”. • Close all the streams by pressing the “X” button next to the file name. • Modify the project rate to 8000 Hz and click on “File > Export Audio”.

• Enter a name and select “Save as type: WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM”.

Now that Microsoft has apparently sucked the life out of Sound Recorder in Windows 7, my next preference is using. Edited 7/15/2013: You can find my new post regarding using using the old XP version of Sound Recorder on Windows 7 here: The problem now is it's not very clear how to choose the same options. In Audacity with your file open, confirm the project rate is 8000 (shown in lower left corner of progress bar). Then, choose Edit Preferences File Formats.

In the Uncompressed Export Format, choose Other. Then, in Header, choose WAV (Microsoft) and in Encoding, choose U-Law. Then, choose File Export as WAV and simply name it appropriately.
