GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 329220
Sending bad quality audio
Last modified: 2006-02-04 17:15:18 UTC
Please describe the problem: Hi ppl and thanks for Ekiga, Same issue when calling a windows sip client , Xlite. I hear him perfect, but my side is choppy and noisy. Non of this noise happens with twinkle. Calling the echo test at sip:613@fwd.pulver.com gives lots of broken sound, I do manage to carry on this test in twinkle and it reports using the g711u codec. Damien Sandras suggested it to be codec related, however, I recive audio in good quality with this version. I am running Gentoo : uname -a Linux blacky 2.6.15-ck2 #4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237 VIA 8237 with CMI9761 at 0xe800, irq 10 no sound deamon is running. cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.10rc3 (Mon Nov 07 13:30:21 2005 UTC). arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - Recording WAVE 'stdout' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono Playing WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono Niv P.S Steps to reproduce: 1. call from your end to xlite windows 2000 from ekiga Actual results: * talk , the far end hears bad sound * you hear the far side fine Expected results: send good audio Does this happen every time? yes Other information: none
I had three calls using the next in line GSM codec. quality is medium, but non of the issues reported. It seems it IS a codec issue. I dont have G771 in ekiga, how may I add it? Niv

Speex never convince me. If you want to reach landlines phone, g711u and g711a are mandatory, some GW's add also gsm beside g729 (proprietary) and more and more g726 All of my friends using Xlite have gsm, ulaw and alaw activated, that's all. And no problem to phone them with Ekiga in direct or through an Asterisk server. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ Gnomemeeting-devel-list mailing list Gnomemeeting-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-devel-list
Niv, reopening a new bug report several times with the same description is not something nice to do. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 329180 ***
G.711 is called PCMU/PCMA
