Steps taken:

  1. Moved the file over to my pc running allstar. \
  2. Renamed file to 68510.ulaw and moved the file over to /rpt/nodenames 
    1. $ sudo mv 68510.ulaw /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/en/rpt/nodenames/
  3. Restart asterisk
  4. Connect to node via repeaterphone app, node still plays default TTS announcement

Expected:

  1. Expected to hear my custom sound file when connecting to the node

This one's a bit interesting. I just did a quick test and adding sound files to rpt/nodenames does work ... but not for WebTransceiver (WT) connections. Those calls come in through the [allstar-public] section of the dial plan (in extensions.conf) where you will find :

    same => n,Playback(rpt/connected-to&rpt/node,noanswer)
    same => n,SayDigits(${NODENUM})

Ah, thanks for finding that!

I was able to get it going by passing in the audio file path to Playback.

[allstar-public]
...
; connect!
...
same => n,Playback(rpt/nodenames/68510,noanswer)
; same => n,SayDigits(${NODENUM})
