[Newbie] Audio prompt not playing?

[MikeMelga]

Hi.

I've just deployed my first basic IVR with just a menu component.
I've set the menu's 'Initial prompt' property to an audio file prompt and set it's path.

Build and deploy were successful.

However on testing...the menu works but the audio prompt does not play. Why?
(tested with barge in set to true and false - although it should not affect it)

Are you placing the audio files into the Audio folder and selecting them from there?

Have you tried with the samples included with the VAD installation?

Yes. They do not play also.

No. Where is the audio folder?
I just entered the full path in the 'Audio File Name' property of the Initial prompt collection. It seems to now the file is there because if I point to a non existing file it immediately gives me build errors.

When you create a VAD project, there is an "Audio" folder into the project file structure. You need to place the audio files in there. That way, when you deploy the project, the audio files are uploaded to the server.

Got it.

Thanks.
