asterisk users - Mar 2006 - Voice volume using Monitor application

I am using the Monitor() application (with soxmix for
combining the audios) and the voice connected to the phone network is
recorded at a lower volume then the voice connected directory to the Zap
analog phone card.  How can I get both the audios to be at the same
volume on recording?

 

Thanks

Jeff

I've noticed the same thing. For now, I've just tweaked the volumes with
soxmix, but it would be nice for that to be handled automatically, if
possible.

When you say that you tweaked the volumes, is that
modifying the Asterisk code to call sox and soxmix or are you mixing
outside of Asterisk.  Also, I used Sox to increase the volume and then
Soxmix to mix the two audio files. Is there a way to just use soxmix to
increase the volume on one file (if there is I couldn't figure it out)?
 
FYI - I also tried to run soxmix and sox from the dialplan but it
wouldn't run all the time.  It depends on which party hung up first,
which you can't control
 
Thanks for the help

I just did it in an external script, using the -v option in soxmix.

i.e. soxmix -v 1.5 quietfile.wav loudfile.wav combined.wav

Strange... I never used it this way, because I needed the files combined 
right away (Monitor is actually writing to a named pipe which other 
programs read).
