I’m just setting up the archive audio setting to an external USB drive. This works fine and is storing .wav files in the directory.
The issue I seem to have is that the audio quality is poor and the files are very small. Is there a way to change the quality of the recording for the archives so it is more like that heard on DVswitch or directly when on the air ?
Josh,
I use archive audio a good bit and always for me it is identical to when it was live.
are you converting it in any manor ?
the format is kinda a GSM or wav49 “.WAV” not fully MS .wav as asterisk denotes the difference.
I might also ask how you are playing it back ? on what device/manor.
Asterisk will play the file back 100% the same. No degradation. Some players may not be capable of noticing the difference or have the exact capability to do so. It is a bit odd and old.
I can link to an example file. The files just seem to be compressed sounding.
I did use Sox to convert the files into one file as that is my intention. However, when I’ve listened to hubnet , for example , their listen again audio sounds identical to how it sounds on the radio / DVswitch. Yet my audio sounds really low quality for some reason or other.
I can’t figure out if it is how the audio is being saved. Do I need to put GSM or wav as the option under the file type ? I did try putting pcm but it created larger files but I couldn’t convert them to a playable audio format. Sox just gave me a distorted audio output.
