[VoIP] Asterisk won't play sound (voice prompt) files

[John Novack]

What is the version and release of Asterisk?

Not sure about this, but MANY have had problems with Fedora Core X and 
it generally is troublesome in a number of ways.
Search the Asterisk users list for details
I can't be sure it relates to your present problem.

CentOs is the same price and trouble free.
