Arrange sound files into categories on the Configuration > Sound Files page, and music files into music on hold (MOH) schemes that are played to callers in queues or from automated attendants (AA) on the Configuration > Music on Hold page.
Sound Files
Configure sound categories on the Configuration > Sound Files page.

- The Barracuda Phone System supports MP3 files and WAV files with a 20MB size limit. Click Upload a File to add a sound file from your local computer.
- Click Record A Sound to have the Barracuda Phone System call your extension and prompt you to make a recording. Enter your extension number and the name of the sound file, then select Call Me. Your phone will ring and when you answer you will be prompted to record a sound. This is very similar to leaving a voicemail message.
Once a sound file is uploaded or recorded it has a number of options:
- Delete – Delete the sound file from the system
- Rename – Rename the sound file
- Move – Move the sound file to another sound category
