I implemented the calcPower(). It works perfectly. The example is given you in just about 6 hours. Cant paste the whole source here and need to meet someone now. Thanks all (particulary tom).

I've been using Speex's AGC in my VoIP program with mixed results. One of the problems I had was: At the beginning of the call, if the user hadn't spoken yet and there weren't any background sounds for the AGC to lock on to, most of the time the AGC would almost immediately jump way up to 200x gain (the default max). This is undesirable and usually results in nasty feedback. If

Yes, you can use it independently by using speex_preprocess(). This function can do noise removal, AGC, and VAD. I've been using it to do all three and it usually works very well. There can be a train going by outside, producing lots of sound that makes it through the noise filter, and yet the VAD knows it's not speech. However, sometimes the VAD seems to get into a bad state and

Hi...Tom, How to use the code you written? Can you show me some example?

Lis, I suggest you try tweaking Speex's VAD probabilities as Steve suggested. But consider a simple threshold-based approach as a backup option. Personally, I struggled with Speex's VAD algorithms (both encoder and preprocessor) for a long time, tweaked the probabilities, wrote special case code to work around the mistakes, and was still never satisfied with the results. In times

Hi, The leakage problem you describe is very, 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

Hi all, DIAX 0.9.3 is available for download from the same place: http://www.laser.com/dante or http://www.geocities.com/tdanro The new DLL contain the latest updates made by Steve in the iaxclient library. Still just IAX1 is supported (for the moment). What's new in 0.9.3? - accept blank passwords; - accept for registration/calls host names, not only IP Address; - password no

First, I'd just like to thank the Speex community, and Jean-Marc especially, for their great work. I'm developing a VoIP library (which uses IAX, the asterisk protocol) as the network protocol. I've been putting off integrating Speex for a while, as things have been working pretty well so far with GSM. (for those interested, the code is at iaxclient.sourceforge.net). However,

OK, so the problem doesn't seem to be the VAD specifically. Can you tell me how much audio you had in the test? It may be that nothing's wrong and the code just isn't so fast that you can do 100 channels. Or maybe it just needs a bit of optimization...

Hi Jean Marc, I found that the AGC API and algorithm has changed in svn head trunk. Is it safe to use it? Or is it for testing purpose only? You also said that VAD in svn is broken in a previous post, is it related to the AGC change? or can we mix the old VAD algorithm with the new AGC safely? kind regards, fredo

I'm attempting to use speex preprocess for automatic gain control in an application I'm working on and could use some help. I'm using Opus as my codec. In order to keep the number of packets down, I'm using 60msec frames. I'm sampling at 48KHz as is recommended for Opus. So, the frame length is 2880 samples and the sampling rate is 48000. The source of the data is a

Tom, You can look in my archives for my posts on this topic, but what I've found is that the echo canceller works to some extent, but if you're also using the other preprocessing (which you'd definitely need to do _after_ ec, otherwise ec probably won't work at all), the AGC function ends up reversing the effect of ec. That is, while ec reduces the echo, it doesn't

Hi, I am working on a VOIP implementation were one of the key design goals is zero user configuration. Similar to Skype. What I've come to notice is that my soundcard (NForce4 based) leaks audio from the playback path to the recording path. This is probably not unique for my hardware at all and will happen on some percentage of all users of my software. (All of this is Win32) What happens is
