Hi guys, I'm using Zyxel Prestige 2602R, as router/SIP-ua with my architecture SER+Asterisk. Normally, everything is fine. In these days I'm experiencing some problems: some guests said me that, if he call everything is right, but if is called, he cannot hear the caller. Immediately, I though into an RTP-Proxy problem, but is not. Then I saw that message appear on the Asterisk CLI, during

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

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

Hello, I am trying to use the preprocessor VAD to encode at lower bitrate during silence periods. I am able to run the preprocessor and get the VAD flag for each frame, and I am quite happy with it's performance. I would like to know how to pass the preprocessor VAD flag to speex encoder -- basically, i want to force the encoder to generate comfort noise when preprocessor detects silence.

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 have recently added Speex support to my app (http://sbooth.org/Max/) and am in the process of creating a GUI for the user to control the codec parameters. I am new to Speex and as such I am not really sure which parameters are more important than others, and deserve prominent placement, etc. Is there a recommended GUI for people to follow or use as an example? Stephen

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, 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

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

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

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

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, I am looking how to setup speex codec in codecs.conf for 8 Kbps and 6 Kbps. In config file are many parameters for setting. I don't know what is need to change for narrowbad like 8 Kbps and 6 kbps. Any suggestion? [speex] ;0-10 quality => 4 ;0-10 complexity => 4 ; true / false enhancement => true ; true / false vad => false ; true / false vbr => false ; 0 = off, otherwise,

Hi all again, Thanks for the response to my previous question, Jean-Marc. It was of great help. Now another problem I encountered: How do I detect that comfort noise is being sent out (I have VAD, DTX on)? I could not find an API function for it, so tried frame rate. For nb, it gives 2950-3950 for silence, however it seems to also give low number sometimes even for speech periods. 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):

Hi All, I have a sip trunk up and running with a CUCM Express, passing calls fine except for a comfort noise error I'm getting on Asterisk: NOTICE[7520]: rtp.c:788 in process_rfc3389: Comfort noise support incomplete in Asterisk (RFC 3389). Please turn off on client if possible. Client IP: x.x.x.x I know Asterisk does not support comfort noise. I have "no comfort noise" on all

Hello! I should have asked this earlier, but... :) We're returning to voice processing in our app now, in which we're trying to achieve n-way full duplex voice in a 3d environment. Since Speex is a single voice stream CODEC, we've been looking at having each client upload its stream to the servers, which multiplex several spatially nearby active channels back down to the

Dear Speex Developers, We are currently using the basics features of Speex 1.1.10 on our little embedded ARM processor and it works great! However, we hit a brick-wall when trying to use echo cancellation or the pre-processor; our CPU (no FPU) jumped to above 90%. Are there any plans in the immediate future to optimize the VAD/DTX and pre-processor code of Speex (convert to fixed-point, ARM
