Freepbx 15 annoucement not working

Hi
So i setup a new instance of Freepbx on Vultr and decided to use V15 (i already have a couple of V14’s that have been running for several years) - i setup an ivr - recorded message etc. - it runs a treat - calls in calls out extensions etc all fine.
Then i decided to setup an announcement - recorded message (via browser again) etc - when i point incoming call at announcement it just disconnects, so after faffing around, decided to use an IVR as just an announcer - same thing no message just the system message that i hadn’t dialled any digits. Back to announcement - this time setup to go to extension after announcement - no annoucement but did go to extension.
I am using a temporary solution of calls going to dummy extension that forwards call to one of the other switches with the annoucement set on there. All other calls have 2 way audio so don’t think it can be anything to do with speach paths, any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Stu

Just looked at logs:

Please try to not paste logs like this. Use Pastebin. Something is wrong with the audio file. When on the announcement page, can you playback the recording just fine?

Right - sorry for pasting like that - if i fire up filezilla and have a look in “/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom”
there is nothing in there but yes i can still play it back from system sounds???

Right - i have found the recordings, but don’t know how to tell freepbx to find them - they are in “/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en_GB/custom”
Whereas the origional ones that work are in: “/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en/custom”
Looks like i changed the sound language after it was running.
Can anybody point me in right direction?
As a temporary measure I will try copying all the WAV files into “en/custom”. - but any new ones will record into “en_GB/custom”
Thank you

Temporary work around is working but don’t really want to have to record them then move them.

Sorted a work around - deleted the en/custom folder and replaced it with a symbolic link to en_GB/custom.
All is working correctly.
cheers

When you set up a system recording in FreePBX, it’s expected that you will define a recording for each language configured on the system. You appear to have en and en_GB enabled, possibly others, so you need to ensure there is a recording associated for each language. You do this by selecting each of the languages in the drop down menu for the system recording.

Thank you, Lorne. Not sure where i find out which one the annoucements are trying to use.
