Are you using keyword "autoload=yes" in the [modules] section of
/etc/asterisk/modules.conf?  Not "autoconf".

It's looking for the file in signed linear 8000Hz format (.wav).  If you
have the sound file in some other format, it's not going to find it.  If
the recording is in gsm format, then you need to make sure that
format_gsm.so and codec_gsm.so are loaded.

In what format?  What's the extension?
