<div>Hi, Everyone!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm developing VoIP application using Speex, have some questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) When ultra-wideband mode should I use 32000 Hz sampling rate only?</div>
<div>If I use 44100 Hz the voice quality seems to be better comparing to 32 KHz. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) When I use wideband mode with 16 KHz sampling rate bandwidth usage is greater comparing to 32 KHz, ultra-wideband. Why? Voice </div>
<div>quality is worse when using 16KHz wideband comparing to ultra-wideband coding. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>3) Speex samples testenc_wb and testenc_uwb gets SPEEX_GET_LOOKAHEAD parameter and skip appropriate number of samples. Should I do the same in VoIP ? What this value means and how is it used in Speex?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4) If sampling rate is 44100 and I use wideband (not ultra) coding bandwidth usage is very high (about 9 KB/sec). Is it normal and just happens because Speex wideband coding targeted for 16 KHz only?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>5) Is there any other way to improve voice quality except setting quality (1-10) Speex parameter? I noticed that quality with Speex is worse comparing to Skype. I use ultra wideband, 44100, quality=8</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>
