Pre-recorded audio questions

[loibl.3@osu.edu]

2 Questions:
1. As far as I can tell, I am no longer given the option to upload pre-recorded audio for the "to select" and "say" options. I need to be able to do this because I am trying to build a survey in Spanish.

2. When I clone a survey that had pre-recorded audio uploaded, then delete a pre-recorded message on the clone, and finally, try to mute the message, it gives me an error message (i.e. I can't mute the file and I get this message: "There was an error muting this audio file:
Fatal error: could not create /usr/local/apache/htdocs/survey/audio/blank.wav, /usr/local/apache/htdocs/survey/audio/a/5/e/69a93707ad25a7feeb779ebd987ce.wav")

Is there a way to get around this problem?

Please help!
Thanks

Hi,

Could you provide us with a copy of that IVR audio file that was uploaded so that we can try to reproduce the IVR issue on our end? You can send it as an attachment to <address excised>.

We will also take a look into why you aren't able to upload pre-recorded IVR audio for those two prompts.

Thanks.

There wasn't an original audio file - on the original, I had "muted" the phrase.

In fact, now when I go to any of my surveys in which I had previously muted a phrase, instead of indicating "mute", it says "Play", as if I had uploaded an audio file. When I hit play, there is silence, as if I had uploaded a second of dead air. Then, if I delete the "file", and try to mute it, I get that error message.

Hi,

Sorry, I had misunderstood your post earlier.

Hi,

These IVR errors should now be corrected. The errors were a result of some IVR server maintenance so some IVR services were temporarily unavailable.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Please test your IVR survey again and let us know if you experience any further IVR issues.

Thank you. The "muting" problem has been resolved.

However, I still can't seem to upload audio files for the "say" and "to select" options (i.e. in multiple choice questions). Even when I create a new survey with a multiple choice question, when I go to the upload pre-recorded audio page, there isn't the option to upload "say" to "to select".

The resulting surveys have my voice on all audio tracks, except the "say' and "to select" portions. It sounds funny.

Hi,

We are looking into making these phrases available for you to upload prerecorded IVR audio files for your IVR survey.

Hi,

These phrases should now be available for you again to upload prerecorded IVR audio messages. We had fixed an IVR bug that had occurred from the last release of the IVR platform.

Please test your IVR survey to see if these phrases are available for you again to upload prerecorded IVR audio messages.
