I am new to Arduino and C programming. I have been getting a “Low memory available, stability problems may occur. Sketch uses 12,394 bytes and Global uses 1,913 bytes. What changes to the program lines are needed?
I am using an Ardunio Uno R3

It looks like you are using almost all of your RAM in your sketch. Combined with the bootloader your program is most likely using as much or more RAM than your Arduino actually has. I suggest reducing the RAM usage as much as possible in your sketch.

I see no flagrant wastes of ram there. I think it's the libraries doing it, and it looks like you need them....
I think you might want to consider a mega2560 or 1284p based board.
Will the 2560 accept the Adafruit Wave Shield for Arduino.
Since I may not be able to use the 2560 with the wave shield, would you suggest what lines in the code I need to change and to what?
Check if all ints need 16 bits, maybe uint8_t is adequate.
you have a dozen functions with the same pattern, e.g
void playAskHuffle(void) {
char name[10];
// copy flash string to RAM
strcpy_P(name, PSTR("DTMF8.WAV"));
playSound(name, 4100, 2);
}
Put the WAV strings in a PROGMEM array and you can handle it with one function with the index as param.
(OK would only save some flash)
possibly just add param to playSound would work.
remove some error handling ?
Thank you. To show my ignorance further I can use some help in setting up the PROGMEM array.
