I've been doing massive changes in the svn preprocessor, so I'm not too surprised I broke the AGC, because I haven't updated it. Did it also do that in

Hi, I use speex1.1.10 [June 10, 2005]in my VoIP application and it works very good for me. But sometimes I get loud metalic noise. Turning off EC, disappears the noise right away. I use EC with denoiser ON, AGC OFF, echo tail 400 ms. Has anyone experienced this? Since Speex1.1.11 has improvement for EC, I tried with the latest release [Speex1.1.12, which has fixed point EC]. But in my test, EC

Hi, all. When AGC enabled, I can hear echo and electronic noise. (in newest svn version) In my thought the computed gain value is too big. Which value exactly can affect to max boost level? And I want to implement the echo cancellation. Is there any example? Forgive my poor question. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

The echo suppression in SVN is shaping up quite nicely! I have also observed some - occasional, apparently data-dependent - misbehaviour in AGC. http://www.surfnonstop.com/~bandit/speex/echocard1/

agc_gain seemed to fit with the idea of what I wanted to do, it was easy to understand its units and behavior, and freezing it produced the desired results. Also I wanted to cap it, so that's done at the same place, and that definitely works. All I want to do is be able to freeze AGC adaptation and put an upper bound on the AGC (for example, 2x amplification). Both of these things seem

I'm having trouble with the preprocessor's noise reduction feature. The basic issue is that it simply doesn't work very well. With my laptop (whose microphone is otherwise quite capable) I routinely hear transient background noise, typing, and other "quiet" sounds leaking through to the speex stream. Even worse, the AGC feature is blowing these things up into just awful

Hi, Arun and me are working on a echo-canceler module for pulseaudio build around speex. When using the preprocessor's echo filter, specifically in combination with denoise and AGC, it's unclear whether these have to run before or after the AEC. Right now we've got one instance of speex_preprocessor doing AGC and denoise running before the echo canceler; and a second for echo

Echo cancellation works like a charm, but it seems to confuse the preprocessor a bit. If listening to background music (properly fed through the echo cancellator), the music is removed but the result is still detected as speech even if almost silence remains in the signal. Also, the AGC keeps adjusting to the minute remains in the signal, meaning that sooner or later it will amplify the

As I mentioned, these transients are

hi! I'm using the speex library in my RTP project (i'm using GNU ccRTP library). My program creates and destroys speex objects everytime a new RTP connection is made. But, when i test it with a client which create a connection to it one after another, the free memory decrease constantly to the point where the programs execution crash because not more free memory. It seems like the

I think you'll have to modify Speex to get the functionality you're looking for. I've made a few simple modifications to the AGC to prevent it from 1) exceeding a specified level of amplification and 2) enable and disable adaptation, so I can freeze it at a certain level while speech is not detected. It's mostly just a matter of doing this at the end of speex_compute_agc():

There are many ways to implement a VAD. What you described is actually perfectly equivalent to the most trivial (and least robust) VAD algorithm.

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 We are working on a speaker phone system using PJSIP and Speex Speech processing API on an ARM platform. Currently we have spent about a month on getting the AEC to work properly and we have worked through the most common causes of problems (such as clock drift, synchronization problems and non-linearity's in echo path). Now we achieve ERLE of about 17 dB which tells me that the AEC is

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
