<p>Setting it to 10 or so doesn&#39;t help, it seems that just the threshold of detection is changed (ok, that&#39;s what is expected), not the time until the decision is made.</p>
<p>The audio clipping is a timing issue. <br>
Does there exist something like a &quot;minimum time&quot; that this algorithm needs to detect talking after silence? What happens to the audio that was sent by that member during this time, does.the algorithm discard that?</p>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<div><br></div><div>During thorough testing of our conference solution which is based on FreeSwitch / mod_conference, we noticed some &#39;audio clipping&#39; during the conference. Typically, if a conference member didn&#39;t have audio for some time and then begins to speak, the first syllable will be clipped and cannot be heard by the other conference participants.</div>





<div><br></div><div>We ruled out a number of possible causes, and finally discovered that the energy level detection algorith seems to be the source of the problem. Setting the energy level for all participants to &quot;0&quot; heals the problem (of course now the noise might be higher since every participant&#39;s noise contributes to the total noise), but this setting is not very useful since the &quot;talking detection&quot; seems to rely on the same level, i.e. with energy &quot;0&quot;, all members are marked talking all the time (which effectively renders the &quot;talking&quot; display useless).</div>





<div><br></div><div>Is there any chance to tune the energy level detection time (!), or to de-couple talking detection an energy level detection in FreeSwitch?</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Roland</div>
