Hello, I'm try to run speex on some ARM processor. I'd like to cut away some speex features including VBR, ABR and preprocessor while still supporting VAD/DTX. But I've found some puzzles in the source code regarding VAD as below, 1) there are VAD related codes in the source file preprocess.c. Will VAD still work If I don't use the source file preprocess.c? 2)The speex manual says VAD can work without VBR enabled. But I found it's not...

Hi Marc, Thanks for your quick response. So if VAD is enabled then VBR will be enable although it's a special VBR. How about take out the VAD code from the VBR and remove the code else?

Hi All, I am using R 2.11.0 on a Ubuntu machine. I have a time series data set and want to run rolling regressions with it. Any suggestions would be useful. Here are the details: (1) I convert relevant variables into time series objects and compute first differences: vad <- ts(data$ALLGVA/data$GDPDEF, start=1948, frequency=1) emp <- ts(data$ALLEMP, start=1948, frequency=1) vad.dif1 <- diff(vad) emp.dif1 <- diff(emp) (2) I make a data set: d <- ts.union(emp.chng=emp.dif1,lag.emp.chng=lag(emp.dif1,-1),twolag.emp.chng=lag(emp.dif1,-2), vad.chng=vad.d...

Hello all: I am interested in using Speex for an application that streams audio from a (noisy) source, so I am interested in VAD and DTX operation. However, after browsing the archives of this list, I note that a number of people have not been satisfied with the operation of the VAD algorithm in Speex. This leads me to a few questions: - Is there a reference somewhere (other than the source itself) that explains how the lat...

There are many ways to implement a VAD. What you described is actually perfectly equivalent to the most trivial (and least robust) VAD algorithm.

My data is speech sampled as pcm mono 32khz. I want to use vad for regulating the agc gain mechanism. So... if voice is not detected I just reduce the agc value in order to not amplify the 'silence' otherwise we just increase the agc value if it is below the minimum.

Per my conversation below with digium, are there any legal alternatives to digium's G729? It is out of date, and doesn't support VAD nor silence detection. Digium has stated that they have no plans to update it anytime soon. VAD/Silence is a big deal with major carriers and we are having to fight a battle to get them to make special arrangements to turn off VAD/Silence in their equipment. Most won't. RFC3389 states tha...

As I understand it, there are two separate ways to get VAD information from Speex: 1) Using the encoder. 2) Using speex_preprocess(). I present the following observations from an application developer's perspective. They may be wrong, in which case I would appreciate corrections. - The two VAD systems are implemented differently. - speex_prepr...

Hi all, supposing to have speex working at 3.95, when VAD/CNG is employed, which is the size of those "silence" samples respect to voice samples? I am wondering if it could be possible to lower even the transmission of VAD/CNG samples by specifying "outbound" in the communication channel only 1 bit instead of sending the whole VAD/...

Hi, Is there is some form of VAD on * for SIP channels, cause I have a problem with MOH. I made an extension which simply plays MOH, when I dial that extension with my ATA188 MOH sounds choppy if I talk on the phone the MOH keeps playing. I saw the sip channel (show channel SIP/*) and I see no packets going in/out when I talk the...

Hi List, i've set up a cisco 7912 for my asterisk box. I've had problems with VAD and CNG. After googling a bit, i've found an article about asterisk not supporting these two protocols, therefore it's better to turn them off. Since then i did not found answer to my two questions, maybe somebody here could help me: a) am i even able to turn off vad/cng on cisco 7912?...

...to the list because of a strange behaviour when updating from version 1.1.12 to 1.2rc1. My software was running fine with version 1.1.12, but now I want to benefit from advances on AEC. After updating the library to 1.2rc1 and do few changes on my sources, I run the application and discovered that VAD doesn't work so fine as in previous version 1.1.12 (3 years ago). I have seem on speex sources that the VAD is under reconstruction, but I don't understand why it has been replaced with that poor one and it hasn't been repaired after 2 years from 1.2beta1. Is there a way to use the VA...

...f questions regarding the preprocessor: 1) I looked at the source code. Even though I am an experienced programmer it looks like Chinese to me ;-) What would I have to do to modify / tweak the audio processing code for my needs? Are there documents describing the algorithms applied for AGC, NS and VAD or does one have to understand the source code? How do people help you modifying the library - do they magically understand the code? 2) I run the preprocessor it seems to take the same amount of time to run VAD+NS+AGC as if I only run VAD. Is it possible to restructure the code in a way that sav...

Hello, in my project im using speex 1.2rc1 and the preprocessor VAD seems to only separate complete silence from not complete silence frames. The Speex Manual, you can read "The voice activity detector (VAD) provided by the preprocessor is more advanced than the one directly provided in the codec." but if you go to the source code in preprocess.c lin...

Jesus, Unfortunately, FFT and magic algorithms don't work (yet?). You might want to try this if you're not satisfied with Speex VAD: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/speex-dev/2008-August/006860.html It won't perform any miracles, but I think it works pretty well and is easy to tweak.

Hi Cecile, it seems it is a tabu theme, or nobody uses VAD on speex. I've tried with external EasyVAD solution but the result was not as spected. Other users of the list suggest an algorithm to filter voice based on the power of the signal, but of course, it is not a voice activity detection. I am waiting also a solution for this, while so I use ve...
