similar to: VAD encoder sensitivity?

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 line 995 "/* FIXME: This VAD

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

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?

Hello, We are in the process of debugging a voice quality issue for a client of ours that is a VoIP services provider. The client uses a softphone that runs on a pjsip stack. When placing a call using the softphone, it negotiates the use of G729 codec with the remote endpoint (ptime = 20ms). The endpoint transmits RTP packets with encoded G729 payload. VAD/DTX is enabled. We see that the last

Hi there, I enable DTX and VAD in speex_encode to detect whether there is silence in voice data. But the same programme got different result on my computers. The function speex_encode always return 38 on one of my computers although it is silence. On all other computers the function speex_encode return 1 when it is silence. It means DTX and VAD doesn't work on particular OS or PC. Do anyone

Hi all and Jean-Marc, Firstly thanks a lot to you for helps, at last I accomplished to use speex-1.2beta1 in my speech application. I try to understand speex source code and improve speech quality. The problem in my application (like many people in the list says) is noise. So I've added VAD in preprocessor as following. VAD in preprocessor is very good, there is not noise outside speech. I

Hi all, I'm using speex through my own python wrapper based on ctypes. In my application I'm forced to process relatively large chunks of audio data (250ms). I was able to supply sufficiently large buffer to the SpeexBits structure and then encode using (code snippet) _speex.speex_bits_reset(byref(self.bits)) for i in range(0, len - self.frameSize, self.frameSize):

Dear Jean, Thank you so much for reply my message. I am sorry the function return 38 is speex_bits_write(). This function doesn't work on one of my computers. But after I add the function speex_preprocess(), it works well. I am wondering what is the possible reason? What the function speex_preprocess() does? Another problem I have now is when I enable dtx and vad with function

I'm running a: for band in n w u do for quality in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 do for complexity in 3 do for vad in "" "--vad" do for dtx in "" "--dtx" do echo speexenc -${band} --quality ${quality} --comp ${complexity} ${vad} ${dtx} input.${band}.wav

Jean-Marc, Ok, I understand. It's floating point but I don't have a mechanism in place yet to capture the source data. I'll do that, reproduce the problem, and put together a minimal sample program that can reproduce it given a data file.

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.

Could a method be added to use the VAD from the preprocessor to send the packet with the 'dtx_enable' flag in it, so the decoder on the other end knows it's in dtx mode? (and SPEEX_GET_DTX_STATUS returns 1) At the moment, I can hack around it by doing something like: if (VAD for prev frame && ! VAD for this frame) { iArg = 0;

Hi, When we pass around 9K samples of only ambient noise (no voice), the encoder which is enabled FEC+DTX is detecting only some 140 frames as non-voice (returning only TOC, no frame content). We were expecting all or more to be identified as non-voice. Our idea was to check how the decoder re-generates the original ambient noise during the silence duration (when we feed NULL to decoder) when

Hello, I am trying to use the DTX feature of speex to tell if the user is speaking. I have VBR, DTX and VAD turned on, but the function speex_encode always returns a non-zero value. It is my understanding that it should return a zero value when the encoder detects silence? Could anyone give me any clues to help figure out why this isn't working for me? I am using the 1.13 version of speex on

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

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

hi, How do i detect whether there is silence in media using speex? Is there any API which decides that the audio data only contains silence? Basically i will have PCM linear data, I want to know whether it is complete silence. Is it that during encoding speex_bits_write will return a lesser number if the audio at byte_ptr contains silence? thanx, Rahul -- Rahul Arvind Jadhav

Hi,I'm having performance issues encoding with speex on an iphone4 + iOS5. The same code yields excellent results on iPad2 + iOS5, Mac OS X 10.6 as well as Windows 7. The call to speex_encode_int is takes 0.0065 to complete. Because encoding is so latent the receiver incurs underruns. Here is my speex setup: ? ? unsigned val = 0; ? ? /**? ? ?* Initialize the encoder in narrow band mode.? ?

Thanks for your reply. I changed my code to: if (speex_preprocess_run(preprocess_state, shortPointer) == 1) { speex_encode_int(enc_state, shortPointer, &enc_bits); } In the mobile version of the software, compiled against the mobile build of Speech, I get 1 and 0 based on whether the speech is detected. In the version of the software compiled against the Win32 version of Speex,
