Well, for those folks who have never heard how good the Speedx Codec is, check it out sometime.
It sounds much better and clearer than my telephone, I would say it sounds almost as good as a CD for spoken voice, while the default voice codec is very poor. I remember Alfred talking about Speex last Summer, and they said they did not like it: quote:From : Alfred Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To : [email protected] Sent : Friday, July 22, 2005 11:36 AM To : <[email protected]> Subject : RE: [hlds] Add Speedx Codec? Speex has some ugly coding artifacts when the incoming voice stream is clipped (i.e the volume exceeds the bounds of the mic device). We have been looking for a better behaving codec but haven't found one yet. When we do we will add it. - Alfred ----------------------- Alfred, let me beg you guys to just allow those of us who want it, to use Speedx. We all know it gets nasty when someone with a mic with too high gain speaks, but in about 20 seconds people tell him to lower his mic gain, and all is good again. As it stands now 100% of the folks suffer because we are concerned about 5% causing distortion problems, (that get quickly rectified, in-game). PLEASE, please just allow us to use Speedx, if we so choose.
