I think you misunderstood my quality measurement idea. I mean if you subtract the original and the one after, the LESS voice that is less over or the LESS you can tell when someone is speaking, the better the compression. This is still subjective but I think its easier to tell this way because its easier to tell how much voice is remaining than to tell how much the compressed voice is missing from

Winamp3 is broken according to some posts here. Try Winamp 2.91 or the latest XMMS. Of course, XMMS requires the xmms-mp3 libraries. Try that and see if it helps.

I'm running a X100P connected to a POTS line and a TDMP400P w/ two FXS daughter cards. Both calling out from one of the FXS phones (internally) or calling my home number (externally) the FXO card starts to freak out. By freak out I mean I can still hear but it sounds like you are underwater, there is an annoying hiss or buzz on the line as well. If I hang up and pick up another house phone

I was doing some testing with RC2 and I noticed that RC2 doesn't encode past 19kHz with this clip (-b256 and -b350). There are no problems with this clip like it was before, but this clip contains signal past 19kHz which is audible as a faint high-frequency hiss - and that hiss is gone in the encoded file since RC2 cuts off at 19kHz. I think that -b256 and -b350 should encode at least up to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi to everybody. First of all I hope this is the right place to discuss such an (nitpicky) issue. I've just been testing the current Opus release and for mere curiosity compared its performance to WMAPro with CD quality music at low bitrates (48 kbit/s). While Opus generally does a very good job, I found one particular example (a high pitched

Using narrow, wideband, and ultra-wideband encoding on a short 16khz wav gave .spx's of 3,789 ... 2,935 ... and 1,875 bytes. Even after reading the manual, smaller files for the higher frequency encoding seems counter-intuitive. My mp3 at 32 kbps on the original 22khz wav is 3,866 with a quality comparable to speex wideband on the converted 16khz wav, so speex is a 24% improvement in size.

Hi all, I started testing the RC1 encoder at ftp://sjeng.sourceforge.net/pub/sjeng/oggdrop.exe (based on branch_monty_20010708) On the songs I have tested so far (not much :) I did not hear any stereo issues, but there are some very noticeable problems with the produced files. Songs without much high-end will suddenly have one when encoded. (you'd expect it the other way around) It

Hi, I had ordered a TDM40B and developers kit a few months ago. I have everything installed and working, with one exception - sound quality. When placing a call it sounds like a very bad cordless phone - lots of hiss / static in the background. This even happens with the dialtone, though it is much worse one the call is connected. This does not occur when the phone is directly connected to 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

Heya all, I'm experiencing some problems with a TDM40P and was wondering if anyone else on this list has similar experiences, or maybe even a possible solution. My setup is a dual PIII-750 with 1 gig of RAM, with an X100P, connected to an analog line to my telco, and a TDM40P with analog phones connected. The TDM-card is not sharing any interrupts, but the X100P is, with the 2 Adaptec SCSI

I'm trying to use Asterisk with a TDM400P and 2 analog lines, but I'm having a hard time getting the kind of audio quality that I'd like. I'm hoping to be able to use SIP phones to make calls through Asterisk and have the same quality as a regular analog phone connected to the PSTN. Are my expectations too high? Is it that once I'm using Asterisk as a gateway to the PSTN, I

Hi, I have just built my home Asterisk box into a better PC that became available (still only a P2 350 but it only has to manage 1 analog line).. Anyway I have built it on Fedora Core 1.. I have an X100P and a TDM400P (1 module installed).. These cards were working fine in my older PC that was running my Asterisk at home.. The inbound calls via the X100P to my sip phones are working great..

Hi, After trying to use the prebuilt Windows 1.1.6 binaries I've founded that the DLL version doesn't export the mode variables properly, this could probably easily be fixed. Anyways, as for now I've downloaded the 1.1.6 source and built it myself and I'm linking speex statically to my application. I've written an experimental software which just packs 20 ms frames and sends

Hi everyone, I've just finished doing a generation loss test using ffmpeg on the following codecs at 96kbps: - AAC (libfdk_aac) - Opus (libopus) - Vorbis (libvorbis) I wanted to see what which codec is best to use for sites like YouTube were content is often uploaded and downloaded, edited, then uploaded again in cycles. The results are mildly interesting: AAC was still passable by 10

Just a note: This is similar to the problems I am (still) having. I too am using Redhat9 (Icecast2 and Ices2). I've used Winamp2 (Zinf tells me the data is corrupted), but instead of the high-pitched noise you describe - I get dead silence. Of course, everything leads me to believe that the connection is healthy and the stream is working. There's a

Does anyone know how to maximize music on hold quality on calls inbound from PSTN? I know that it is common to have choppy and static sounding music on hold when connecting via PSTN but how can that be minimized? I assume that the bitrates, type of music, etc can minimize the effects. Does anyone have any experience in this area? Do you know where I should look for more information?

Hi every one, I have an unfortunate need to release a closed source BeOS media codec for Vorbis, basically I'm using headers under an NDA so I can't release them. (Yeah I know closed source boo hiss). So I have a couple of question about what I need to do for all this to be above board. I've made no changes to the libraries so thats not a problem. As far as I can see as

Hi, Does any one have any pointers on improving moh quality?? Symptoms are crackling and hissing as the sound comes and goes.. I installed mpg123 this morning.. I have tried various MP3's sampled at 160k, 128k, 32k and 8k and they all sounded terrible... The PC is a P4 so its got plenty of processing power.. I have tried a few different types of classical music (Piano, Violin and full

I am working with the telantek.adsi file, and I was wondering how I would create a softkey for Transfer. I tried making a key definition and using SENDDTMF "#", but that didn't work. Is there another way I could do this? Also, does anybody have any ADSI scripts for use with Asterisk that they would like to share? Thank you for your time. __________________________________ Do you
