Hi there, i called one asterisk server from another asterisk server. The calling server played back a audio data und the answering server recorded the audio sample using record() function. I tried both ISDN, VoIP connections. Camparing with the original audio data, the recorded samples from both connections were amplified by asterisk, so that the recording were much louder. But I didn't

Hello there, recently installed CentOS6 on a (quite old) 64-bit system, and from the GNOME's sound preference app, I can see that the Output volume range is said "amplified" from 63% to 100%. Below 63% it's unamplified. No idea what's implied behind this amplification (I don't see this on other desktops), but I notice that when "amplified" the sound is pretty

Hello! I have a cabinet full of Wilcom Enhanced Line Powered Amplifiers with Manual Balance, model ELPA-421V. I *believe* these were used for a bank of analog modems back in the mid-90's. They were removed from a suite when the old company moved out. Here's a URL: http://www.wilcominc.com/elpa421v.htm Does anyone have any interest in these? If so, please reply off-list. Tim

I have been looking for analog phones for my * system that work with our plantronic amplifiers and headsets. The problem I am having with the Aastra phones that I have purchased (PT-390, 9116, 9120, 8009 ), is that they don't seem to stay hung up unless you physically hang up the handset everytime you finish a call. I have even purchased the Aastra 9120 which sais it has on-hook

I noticed that my previous message is not very complete so I send here an "enhanced version". Please disregard the old one an reply to this one only.

Hello, I'm having the following problem when using a headset on XP connected to an on-board Realtek soundcard on an AsusTek M2N68-AM Plus motherboard: - Using any sound recorder (Windows', Audacity, XLite), the level is just too low when speaking at a conversational level, even with the microphone level pumped all the way up (line displayed totally flat in Recorder)

What headsets have people found work well with the Cisco 7940 and 7960 phones? To date, I have tried a couple of the headsets within the Plantronics H series (H41-N), and noticed that the volume of my speaking is lower over the headset than on the regular handset. I am currently looking for headsets that are known to work well. I do know that Cisco lists the H-91 and H-101 as certified to

I see a lot of chatter in the archives about intercom and paging, but has anyone addressed zone paging? Each of the 50 telephones in a large clinic would be members of one or more paging zones. Someone could then page Dr. X in zone #1. Would this be possible with analog phones? SIP? Thanks, Mike

...le constantly using a nearby and noisy peripheral such as a force-feedback steering wheel. Noises from the wheel are going to get picked up and detected as speech, but they usually won't be as loud as speech. By capping the AGC at the right level, it's possible to prevent the AGC from amplifying the wheel noises too much while still allowing it to do its job for the speech. I see now that st->loudness2 is also used in the VAD. Maybe this explains some problems I was having. :) I'll have to give the preprocessor's VAD another try now that I'm aware of this. So, do y...

Hello all. We have an asterisk working perfectly but we need a sollution for the PA system. Before Asterisk PBX we had an expensive analog PBX which plugged an extension into an audio amplifier, and that was the PA system. Now, the Asterisk server is quite far from the audio amplifier and it has no audio card. So my idea is to plug the audio card of another linux server, which is over the

Hi everyone, I have a user that needs a little extra volume on his Polycom IP 601 phone set for all calls (beyond what the volume control currently offers). Is there a provisioning setting for this anywhere? (I'd like to avoid a separate amplifier between the phone and handset if possible.) Alternatively, is there a way to have Asterisk 1.4.x boost the volume to a particular SIP device

...t. If listening to background music (properly fed through the echo cancellator), the music is removed but the result is still detected as speech even if almost silence remains in the signal. Also, the AGC keeps adjusting to the minute remains in the signal, meaning that sooner or later it will amplify the remains enough that it's clearly audible on the other side. If I cough or say a word, the AGC readjusts and all is fine. Looking at the members of the speex_preprocess structure, I see that during these long periods of "silence" (only the background music or only the other en...

Hi, I've had a small case with noise suppression and AGC. I have a fairly noisy environment here, and with the default parameters, noise suppression works fairly well while I talk. However, when I shut up, AGC starts slowly increasing the gain until it has amplified whatever noise is left to levels about equal to having no filtering at all. As soon as I talk, AGC backs down fairly quick

I quote from "Principles of Digital Audio" by Ken C. Pohlmann: "Because perceptual coders tailor the coded signal to the ear's acuity, they similarly tailor the required response of the playback system itself. Live music does not pass through amplifiers and loudspeakers, it goes directly to the ear. But recorded music must pass through the playback signal chain. Much of the

Hi, I have speex running as a part of a voice conferencing app. Well, one under development anyway. I'm running VBR at quality 3 and get a "hissy-squelchy" background noise. This is fine, kinda, because the internal microphone in the laptop picks up hiss, the sound of the (actually very quiet) hard drive and generally speaking is of less than exemplary quality. To help

What rigs do you folks use to listen to your music? I have a P-III 500 with Altec Lansing speakers in the dining room and a P-II 350 with Labtec speakers in the Guestroom/office. Sorry, I can't remember what model the Lansings are off the top of my head. The Labtec speakers are fairly cheap. I have a PCI ensonique sound card in the P-III system. I not sure what kind of sound card is in the

What happens (denoiser amplifying the signal) is that there is also an AGC (automatic gain control) that thinks that the noise is speech (because it's the loudest signal is hears) and amplifies it to make it sound loud enough. I completely changed the structure of that code (now called speex_preprocess_*) and the AGC is now...

...very common and you will need to do something to address it. I modified the version of Speex I use to implement an adjustable max gain. If you look at speex_compute_agc in preprocess.c, you will see: if (agc_gain>200) agc_gain = 200; This max of 200 is usually more than enough to amplify leakage which occurs either in the sound hardware or in a headset to the point where it is as loud as normal speech. You can replace this max of 200 with a configurable max gain, which is what I've done. But then you lose the 'zero user configuration'. And getting people to set a...
