<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Speex community, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I am having problems to get the Speex Decoding API to work properly in our project. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I am working in an embedded project with a very limited RAM and Flash memory and would like to use Speex encoded files to save memory while having good voice sounds in our speakers. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I have developed a Windows-based tool to convert WAV files to Speex files in packets of 160 bytes (we are using only the narrowband mode). Those packets are written into a C file which we compile and embed in our custom
hardware (ARM-based microcontroller). I am attaching one of such C source files with speex encoded bytes for reference, which consists of 61 encoded packets. I am also attaching the original WAV file. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>In our application, we are trying to decode the embedded list of packets and playback using the microcontroller DA converter. Here I paste the function which handles this task: </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Everything I get is a very noise “hiss” output. When we playback a RAW PCM file or a WAV file in our hardware, it is perfectly clear and sounds good. However, due to hardware limitations, we cannot proceed with raw WAV
files. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Any help would be very appreciated. </span></p>
