Speex dev - Aug 2004 - reduction of noise due to high microphone gain

Hello,

 

With high microphone gain, I seem to have problem making the silence
detection work.  

 

The speech detection works well for the rare dish sample, which has very
low noise amplitudes in silence regions.  However, if the microphone
gain is set to really high, noise samples are taken as speech, as
indicated by the non-zero return value from speex_encode() calls.

 

I had VAD turned on.

 

Are there other settings that I need to adjust?  If not, could someone
recommend a suppression solution in this case ?

 

 

Thank you,

Hi,

You might want to try the denoiser I've got in CVS (that will go into
Speex 1.1 eventually). It will remove stationary noise from the signal
and probably help the silence detection. See testdenoise.c for how to
use it. There's also a better VAD in the denoiser but speex_encode
cannot make use of it yet.
