Thanks again @Danny. File converter worked like a charm. asterisk -rx "file convert /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/wav_Track11.wav wav_Track11.alaw"
I coped the new file from sounds/ folder to my desktop And I tried to upload the new .alaw file using FreePBX, I got the following error: Error Processing: "sox failed to convert file and original could not be copied as a fall back" for wav_Track111.alaw! This is not a fatal error, your Music on Hold may still work. Pls help with this last bit.
