Tony mentioned something that might be an issue for you. Try setting this on the channel:

Let us know if that makes a difference.

Hi Anthony,

Actually FreeSwitch application "record" doesn't work either for outbound IVR call (see below), created an empty wav file with its size 68 bytes, the wav file doesn't contain any samples of audio data;

<action application="record" data="C:/c4dev/freeswitch/Debug/sounds/test.wav 20 200"/>

earlier I reported that "session:recordFile(-)" doesn't work inside Lua Script for any outbound IVR call.

- My CLI commands to make an outbound IVR call:

originate {ignore_early_media=true}sofia/gateway/mygateway/1726011 8884
or
originate user/1005 8884

- xml diaplan for extension 8884:
{
<extension name="Play and Record Sound File">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(8884)$">
<action application="answer"/>
<action application="sleep" data="1000"/>
<action application="playback" data="ivr/ivr-thank_you.wav"/>

<action application="record" data="C:/c4dev/freeswitch/Debug/sounds/test.wav 20 200"/>

<action application="sleep" data="1000"/>
<action application="playback" data="voicemail/vm-goodbye.wav"/>

<action application="sleep" data="1000"/>
<action application="hangup"/>
</condition>
</extension>

}
