similar to: Re: aec

Thanks for alerting me to the new changes. I just tried the latest code from SVN, but unfortunately I still have just about the same results. The estimated echo that gets subtracted from the actual echo is such a small signal that it doesn't really result in any noticeable echo attenuation. I currently have my filter size set to 2 seconds even though the echo in my microphone file is only

I ran some further tests on mdf and here are the results: 1. reduced tail length to 100ms, aligned mic and speaker signals to within 10ms - almost no echo attenuation 2. aligned mic and speaker signals to within 5 samples - still almost no echo attenuation 3. ran testecho using the same file for mic and speaker - very good echo cancellation (of course this is expected, but I needed to do a sanity

I'm pretty much sure of it. When I test inverting the inputs, my output is pretty much the same as my speaker signal. Whereas the way that I normally test the output is my mic signal with very little attenuation. If you are interested I can send my test files; they are about 94KB each. -Jason --- Jean-Marc Valin <jean-marc.valin@usherbrooke.ca> wrote: > Are you sure you're

Had a try. The reason why a simple delay is not that good is mainly due to the initialization of the filter parameter that still takes a few seconds (if they are perfectly in sync, you sort of get lucky). Otherwise, you real recording seems to have something odd in it. Are you sampling from a different card then the one that's playing the sound? or maybe the mic (or something else) in the room

This kind of behaviour is odd. One of the reason could be the fact that you're using a really long impulse response. Try syncing your signals and making the tail length more in the order of 100 ms to 300 ms.

I've recently made changes to the AEC. Please try the code in SVN and see if it works better.

Are you sure you're not just inverting the two inputs?

When I ran test 4 as originally described there is substantial echo cancellation (but not as good as when the files are perfectly aligned). When I invert the inputs, there is no noticeable cancellation. I'm using testecho with the preprocess line commented out. Preprocess seems to work very well at cleaning up the residual echo when mdf does its job, so I'm just focusing on testing mdf.

To everyone on the list: do *NOT* attempt to do echo cancellation with signals sampled using different clocks. This will *NOT* work. Just a 0.1% difference between the two sampling rates (it's sometimes worse than that) means that the impulse response drifts by 8 samples every second. There's just no way to efficiently track this. Or at least no way that doesn't involve something 100x

Hi Jean-Marc, I tried with both testecho and my test program, and for some reason it just doesn't cancel any echoes with the 1.2-rc1. The testecho from beta3 binaries works fine, and also if I replaced mdf.c in 1.2-rc1 with mdf.c from beta3 and use my test program, it will work again. This happens for both 8KHz and 16KHz. Any ideas? I could upload the test samples and results if needed.

Hi all, I have been trying to implement audio echo cancellation using mdf.c from opal-2.2.2. Using testecho.c the output obtained is not satisfactory. It is cancelling the far end signal instead of the near end signal as per requirement. I have been moving in circles figuring how to approach the problem. Is there something wrong with the mdf that I am using? I would be really thankful if

Hello, I've just caught a strange crash in speex_echo_state_init routine. It happened only on one WinXP machine, while on others using XP, Vista and 7 everything is fine. Crash occures in mdf.c line 434: st->spec_average = DIV32_16(SHL32(EXTEND32(st->frame_size), 15), st->sampling_rate); Got any ideas or should I provide more information of the OS? Thanks a lot!

Thanks for taking a look. There was no motion; however you are right about sampling from a different card. The speaker is connected to the Sound Blaster card, while the microphone is part of a USB webcam. I don't think that this is likely to be too unusual a configuration among users. I can retry the test using a sound card microphone to see if there is a difference. If it turns out that

When you say inverted, do you mean a) input and output exchanged with each other, or b) input or output having changed sign numerically (e.g. multiplied by -1)?

Jean-Marc, I have traced the second infinite loop further. When st->adapted becomes true (mdf.c line 623), the first Yf[i] value is 4, the leak_estimate is 0xd4e, the resulting r is 3. The first value in st->Rf is 0, so e is 1, and r is set to e>>1, or 0. A little later there is a divide by r, and there is the hang. It seems that the 0 in Rf[0] is the problem, but I am not

This is a very real problem though.. I've encountered many sound cards that use different clocks for input and output (even on the same card!) Also, if you open up a sound device on windows at 8kHz, the microphone is often around 8100Hz, while the output is 8000Hz.. I'm not sure if there's a bug somewhere in some of the OS resampling algorithms, but I've seen that on many machines.
