I am using the denoiser and AGC, but the problem persists if I turn them off (stop calling speex_preprocess() altogether). Also, I have reproduced it on both a noisy system and a quiet system that hardly needs the denoiser. I know what you mean though, I have heard similar sounds when pushing the denoiser too hard. For example, doing 100x AGC, or trying to use an extension cord with my microphone. Generally though, I'm very impressed with how much the denoiser can take before degrading. And I've never known it to get stuck in a bad state from which it could not recover.
