Please consider using 16-bit 16kHz (wideband) instead. It's a huge increase in audio quality and the bitrate is still very low, especially if you take advantage of Speex features such as VBR. 8kHz seems totally inappropriate to me for desktop streaming audio, let alone 8-bit samples. Or perhaps your recording equipment is an original Sound Blaster from 1989? (Even that could record at

This is a really good point, and definitely a recurring theme on this mailing list. :) I wonder, what are some better options for handling this issue, other than to keep saying "just use 8/16/32kHz"? - Extend Speex to support other sample rates (seems unlikely..?) - Integrate a resampling algorithm into libspeex - Maintain a list of recommended resampling libraries that work well

I would love to see podcasters adopt the Speex format to deliver clear speech audio at wideband or ultra-wideband formats. However, podcasters want something that can easily play on Windows, Macs, and even Linux web browsers. The Speex website has some nice audio demos, but it doesn't actually offer any HTML embedded samples using actual Speex format. Would there be a way to do this with

Ok here is something I couldn't see on the description page. We need to convert to 8 bit audio right? I'm assuming narrow band is 8 KHz 8 bit. Wide band is 16 KHz 8 bit. UW band is 32 KHz 8 bit audio?

Hi , I want to use the read.table to the following example 'data.txt' format: a b c d e f SPX LSZ 100 C 0 34.4 SPX LSZ 100 P 0 1.3 SPX LSZ 105 C 0 30.3 SPX LSZ 105 P 0 1.85 SPX LSZ 110 C 0 26.4 and I want to have the columns a,b,d read as the 'character' data, a the remaining columns as 'numeric'. What I did was:

Hi Steve, thanks for the advice. I placed the appropriate functions outside the while statement but I still get this error at the while loop: First-chance exception at 0x004010fa in SPXDEC.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000c.

Hello developers, I have a question about supported bitrates for SPEEX. Regardless of whether I specify a 10kbps or a 8kbps bitrate, the encoded .spx file is the same size and have the same PESQ value. This makes me wonder if SPEEX supports arbitrary bitrates, or only a certain set. A few more details about my configuration: I am using SPEEX encoder version 1.1.12 I am encoding a narrowband

Hi, I am pretty new to R and would like to follow the code in the paper below, tradesys package. but I am stuck at the 2nd page where x<-tsts(spx) is written. Could anyopne help me why I am getting an Error :"could not find function "tsts" ". I guess I need function call "tsts". where can I find that function ? I installed tradesys, zoo, RUnit packages but I

hey guys, I just compiled an application similar to sampledec.c (for speex 1.1.10) and it was fine but when I executed it, the app exited without doing anything. I'm using MS VC 6.0 and this was all I got - First-chance exception in sampledec.exe : 0xC0000005: Access Violation. Has anyone encountered this / does anyone know how to deal with it? by the way, sampleenc executed perfectly... When

this is not really a development question, but i didn't find another mailing list to ask it. any idea why size of wav file doubles when it is encoded to speex and back to wav: $ ls -ls testi.wav 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 foo foo 40674 May 4 14:38 testi.wav $ speexenc --denoise --agc --quality 10 testi.wav testi.spx Encoding 8000 Hz audio using narrowband mode (mono) $ ls -ls testi.spx 20

Hi! I'm looking for a documentation of the .spx file type? I want/need to know how such a .spx file is built up. I want to create a .wav to .spx converter. And additionally a .spx player. I already searched the net and the speex site but I couldn't find anything useful. Maybe I'm missing something? Thanks for your help! Best regards, Peter -- Neu: GMX FreeDSL Komplettanschluss mit

Hi, I am experiencing some unfortunate problems when encoding WAV files to spx using version 1.0.4. A "click" which is not present in the original WAV file is added to the end of the spx file. Is this a known problem, and if so, which version of the encoder should I switch to... and if I have to switch the encoder, will I also have to switch the version of the decoder? Sincerely,

Dear experts, I am trying to understand the structure of the Speex .spx file, so I can packetize each frame in one packet for example, and in the receiving end, I can decode a file that has all the received frames (some of them may lost). I tried to figure out what is the delimiter used to separate the frames but I could not so far. I also tried to deleted some data from the .spx file or change

I am running speex 1.2beta1 on WM2003 using FIXED_POINT option, I got big clicking noise during encoding or decoding randomly, I got more noise if I spoke louder or made the MIC sensitivity higher, for example, when I encode the wav file to spx file, the original saved wav file does not have such noise, the noise is added only after it's converted to spx format. The floating point version of

thanks for getting back to me, i have uploaded a zip file containing some sound files that demonstrates the issue. http://www.bogus.net/~olav/ess.zip this contains s.mp3 original wav file (mono) converted to top-quality mp3 (370K) s.wma windows media encoder with 19khz voice compression ( 62K) s-2.spx speexenc --vbr --quality 2 on the wav file ( 63K) s-9.spx

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.

But when I read the source code, we have this line inFile = argv[1]; fin = fopen(inFile, "r"); I assume samepleenc read a file and output something, right?

Would it help if I scale the input wav data before encoding to spx? One interesting thing is if I encode the same wav file to spx(or decode the same spx file to wav ) on Windows platform, then there is no such big clicking noise, samething is true if I use floating_point speex library to encode/decode on WM2003. Problem happens only on WM2003 using FIXED_POINT library. Thanks Yanxin -----
