Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Sound problem



Hi all,


Thanks for the tip Johnny, I tried disabling echo cancellation. It doesn't work to get the choppyness off the sound but it did work to get the volume of the speach I hear much higher so now the volume has a more normal level.

Still I have this problem with the sound qualitiy. I have done some experimenting again and observed:

1. When I startup Ekiga and call 500:@ekiga.net (echo service), at first the sound of the voice of the lady is terrible. It is just like noise/choppy sound and you can't even understand what she is saying. Maybe if I could pipe the sound output to a sound recorder I could send in a sample of what I hear. It might help finding out what the problem really is. Will look into this.

2. When I close ekiga (to the system tray) and reopen it, sound turns back to normal and stays normal. Clear, comprehensible and no noise.

3. When I open another app or even switch to another desktop or open one of the menu's in Ekiga, sound returns to being awfull. I have to close and reopen Ekiga (to systray) to get sound normal again.

4. Memory usage is normal (290 of 512 kb free)

5. CPU usage is normal (maximum 20% during call)

Any clues on how to solve this are very welcome.

Greetings,

Dion

Hello all,


I have been testing Ekiga 2.0.1. today on a Debian Sid system.

Having a big problem with sound. I tested it with the echo service.
These are my observations:

- The beep you hear when connecting is loud and clear (so audio settings are ok) - After connecting to the echo service, the sound is ok, though a bit low in volume (much lower than the beep) - After a short while the sound gets awfull. Cracking sound, almost not possible to understand what is said. - When I minimize the Ekiga window and maximize it again, sound gets ok again. - When I start another app while keeping connected to the echo service, the sound gets awfull again, so I need to minimize/maximize the Ekiga window again (sometimes a couple of times) to get 'normal sound' back.


Hi

Try to disable echo cancellation.

I am using ALSA and a Logitech USB headset. Working with the Enlightenment 17 desktop, but same problem appears in IceWM.

I ran Ekiga with option -d 1 and during startup I got this error message:

2006/04/03 19:10:27.477 0:02.488 ekiga AVAHI Error initializing Avahi: %sDaemon not running

I don't know if the sound problem relates to this Avahi daemon not running. Do I need to install some Avahi package in order for Ekiga to run properly?

Any help is very much appreciated,

Dion
