[Freeswitch-users] softphones and background noise

[Eugene Shcherbatyuk]

Hello,

We had a number of sound quality issues with our softphones. We could
decuce some causes for that. Often quality of sound was affected by a
combination of them. Here is a something like a checklist:

-- Softphone codec implementation is not that great. (Try different
codecs and/or softphones)
-- Softphone echo cancellation introduces noise (turn off soft echo
cancellation)
-- Transcoding issues at the softphone side.
-- Number and order of softphone codecs are different from these of VOIP
server (make them the same);
-- Noise is generated due to sound card/OS sound equalizer(mixer)
misconfiguration (turn off any effects, see that mic is not echoed to
speakers, etc., etc., etc.)
-- User PC is overloaded ('weak' CPU, little of RAM, RAM spooling, too
many open windows/processes, greedy antiviral software etc.)
-- Weared out and/or buggy headsets.

Hope this will help.
