We've had a few posts about tough-to-solve volume issues. When I hear things like this I think of the 'Voice Changer<http://www.lobstertech.com/code/voicechanger//>' application that was demo'd at last year's TAUG/VON meeting. I just looked it up and it's programmed to do pitch change but I would guess that the sound library could probably do volume adjustment just as easily.
It seems like changing the volume on a channel would be handy in a few different cases like meetme, 3-way conferences (the remote party is almost always too quiet) etc. I imagine that this stuff is buried way down in the guts of things but it would be neat if one could enable a features.conf type thing whereby, for instance, you could hit ##7 to move your receive volume to 7 from the default of 5. Or, maybe you could use **7 to move your transmit volume up to 7. I could imagine saying to a participant "Hey Nick, can you hit star star seven, I'm having some trouble hearing you." It would probably be a lot of work, but it would be really great if MeetMe was able to normalize (for lack of a better word) the volume on a channel. Some thought would have to go into it, for instance, merely using a compressor on the whole thing would raise the background noise on a quiet channel until it was brutal. Somehow it would have to distinguish between talking channels and idle channels, much like a speakerphone. I wonder if extra delay would be an issue. It wouldn't help if it increased the workload such that channels fell out of sync. I know it doesn't solve your problem Alex but those are just some thoughts, maybe it'll spur the creative juices of another reader. Dave On 5/25/07, Alex Robar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi everyone, We're having a problem where the external users in a meetme conference are having trouble hearing one another (external users being those who have called in over Zap/PSTN). Those with direct extensions on the system are able to hear everyone in the conference fine. I was told previously that this is "just how it is" with analog lines, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. I'm hesitant to play with tx and rxgain values, as the line volume is just fine when callers dial into an extension directly. Zap hardware is a Sangoma A200 with hardware echo can. Any thoughts?
