Re: [Oreka-user] One side of conversation is quiet - Any way tonormalize?

After much information and software finding, I was able to compile the latest build (661) of Orkaudio.  As per the instructions I compiled orkbase, orkaudio, rtpmixer, and VOIP.  It resulted in the following files:

File Name          Size
OrkBaseD.dll      2,257KB
OrkAudio.exe     109KB
RtpMixer.dll       85KB
VoIp.dll            573KB

I stopped the orkaudio service and I assumed that I am to copy these files over to my existing installation of orkaudio and overwrite the existing files.  After I did this I tried to restart the orkaudio service and almost right away I get the following message:

Error 1053:  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.


I have never compiled code before so I assume I may have missed a step, file, etc.  I compiled with MSVC6.0.  I'm running this all on Windows XP Professional.

Thanks for your help.

Ben,

If you compile the latest source code from subversion, you can try using the following parameters in the orkaudio config.xml under the top node:

    <AudioGainDb>10</AudioGainDb>
    <AudioGainChannel1Db>20</AudioGainChannel1Db>
    <AudioGainChannel2Db>0</AudioGainChannel2Db>

These parameters take values in dB, and can be positive or negative.
AudioGain is a global parameter and applies on top of AudioGainChannel1 and
AudioGainChannel2.  AudioGainChannel1 and AudioGainChannel2 apply to the 2
channels involved in the call. In the above exampe, channel 1 would be amplified by 30dB while channel 2 would be amplified by 10 only.

Don't forget to restart orkaudio if you make such a change.

Henri

Subject: [Oreka-user] One side of conversation is quiet - Any way tonormalize?

I have setup Orkaudio with a talkswitch that has two analog lines and 1 VOIP line.  All phones connect through the network to the talkswitch so we have setup a spanning port to capture the data going to and from the talkswitch.

On most conversations the remote party can only be heard faintly.  We have to turn up the speaker volumes all the way to hear the converstation decently.  The local party's voice can be hear quite well.  I'm guessing it's the analog line giving me the problems.

Is there anyway to have orkaudio normalize the audio or boost the volume on the audio?  If not I would like to request this as a feature if it's possible.

Thanks :)
