[Ekiga-list] poor quality voice in ekiga
Hi there Basically I find that ekiga and twinkle both have TERRIBLE recording quality (tested under FC8,F10 and F11). When I'm talking to someone over them, the other person always comments on how bad the line sounds. However, skype recording (conversations) sounds perfect. Doing some digging shows me that using the command-line ALSA tool "arecord file.wav" produces a similarly crappy recording, but "arecord -f cd file.wav" produces a much better sounding output - the big difference is the default is 8000Hz and the latter is 44KHz? Forcing different codecs doesn't appear to improve things: my voice comes through "staticy" and WAV voicemails saved in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail are all 8000Hz too. It's as if the soundcard is outputting to the codec a "low quality" audio - so the codec can't magically make it better (i.e. garbage in, garbage out) It smells to me like ekiga/twinkle aren't "telling" pulseaudio (although I think this is an old issue and affects ALSA too) to choose a higher quality recording format and that's the root cause of my problem? Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a workaround? My arecord/skype tests show Linux voice recording is good enough at the lowest API levels - it's just that ekiga doesn't makes use of it? I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong and someone here will point me in the right direction :-) This has been tested with ekiga-2.0.11 and 3.0.2 (I'm running F10 and F11). I've tried to upgrade to the current release, but I'd have to tear half my system apart to take care of the dependencies - so no go.

Jason Haar a écrit : > Hi there > > Basically I find that ekiga and twinkle both have TERRIBLE recording > quality (tested under FC8,F10 and F11). Ekica use several codecs. This improve interoperability, which Skype do not care about. Those codecs match different needs (bandwidth, error recovering, latency, quality, etc.). For quality, "G722" or "SPEEX 16kHz" will provide the best results. In Ekiga's preferences, in the Audio Codecs section, there is a list of codec. The top of the list gets priority over the rest. Thus place them with care. You can force the use of 1 codec by disabling the rest. Still you have to make sure your the person you are talking to does have this codec in his list.

I have already tried disabling all but one, testing that, doing the same for a different one, etc. It makes no difference. Even the codecs classified as 16bit instead of 8bit (ie speex) didn't change the quality. I assume this isn't a problem you see yourself (the staticy voice)? I'm wondering if it "sort of" is a hardware issue. Maybe the default ALSA/pulseaudio settings for Intel 82801G soundcards (which my laptop and workstation both have) is crappy, but "pushing" something into the driver (like skype and "asound -f cd" do) enhances it? Maybe other soundcards defaults are better, and so this issue isn't seen?

2009/6/5 Darren Albers : >> This isn't a codec issue. Two weeks ago I also got problems with sound quality, but I think it was bad coded I was using or maybe as You suggested something with alsa(that got upgraded in a while time), but now it works great with Speex 16 mHz and I don't really need more, I can hear everything and quality is brilliant. I am using now libasound2 1.0.20 ekiga 3.2.1 opal 3.6.1 libpt2.6.1-plugins-alsa 2.6.1 What I can suggest and I do is try to stay away from Pulse Audio which imho is not mature and break things badly... Removing it 2 mouths ago from my girlfriends Ubuntu solved all sound problems for her which were quality and huge delays. But it was before we switched to Ekiga. Going back to Ekiga I had problems with video quality, but I solved that installing h264 and forcing it instead of h261 and its all working great now. Theora quality + half bandwitch usage. Just use this combination Speex(16 mHz) and H264 and welcome to free world :) Thanks Ekiga! :) ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
