Re: [Ekiga-list] Poor Sound

[Ted McCune <computer ted gmail com>]

Thanks, I'll play around with the codecs. From reading it looks like Speex is probably best for regular phone calls. I've read some about the other codecs and while the specs might interest a software engineer they dont really tell me which is best for what. I suppose most of that is for calling other SIP clients not POTS telephones.

When calling phones the person I'm calling says I'm "beeping in and out" and I hear an echo and the sound quality is bad.

Everything works perfectly in Skype on the same machine.

In the advanced settings there are a ton of codecs and I don't understand any of them or how to use them.

 

Hi Ted,

For the sound issue, the first thing I'd suggest is simply making a call to the Ekiga.net echo test service, and see what the sound quality is like there (e.g. does it echo or cut in/out etc.).

For the audio codecs, I find it easiest to enable PCMU, PCMA,and Speex only for starters.

Cheers,

Dave
