similar to: Does VAD/DTX work without VBR and Preprocessor

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?

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, 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

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;

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, 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 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

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

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

Hi, Is there are document where the interaction between all the configuration options of speex is explained? Speex seems to have CBR, VBR and ABR. You can also use SPEEX_SET_QUALITY (SPEEX_SET_VBR_QUALITY) and SPEEX_SET_BITRATE which I suppose can't be set at the same time. Is there a list of possible combinations somewhere? I also have another question related to jitter. To minimize jitter,

Hi I apologise if the following message is inappropriate for this list. However, I feel this is the only place where I can get some help with my problem.

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?

Hi All, I've run into a small hiccup in encoding my audios with Speex. When I encode audience laughter and applause with 'speexenc' (version 1.0.1), the result is quite acceptable... until I enable VBR. Then it distorts horribly. My understanding of VBR is that it frees the encoder to vary the number of bits emitted to better maintain the quality requested, and so I would have

Hi, When using the encoder function, speex_encode_int(st, in_short, &bits), with VBR disabled and VAD enabled, the function always return a 1. Also, when enabled DTX along with VAD enabled, most of the time the function return a 1 even when it is silence. Is there a way to change the sensitivity of the VAD by changing some parameters in the source code, so when it is silence, the

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

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.
