[Iaxclient-devel] Windows choppy / stuttering audio

[Florian H. <f.h...@ch...>]

Hi!

First of all: Thank you very much for your great product!
	I've built a Java softphone using the Jiaxclient wrapper around iaxclient. 
The phone works perfectly on Linux, but I experience audio problems on 
windows using your prebuilt binary. The receiving side is fine (the user of 
the softphone hears the caller lound and clearly) but the sending part 
introduces stutter. I have tested the softphone using the windows and linux 
version of the library on the same network (during the night, so almost no 
network load) using the same asterisk server and the same dialplan. I have 
tried to use the 'MS soundmapper input' device as well as the real hardware 
device as the microphone input, that the same problems arise. Is someone 
using iaxclient on Windows successfully with good audio quality?

Cheers,
	Florian

Yes. There are definitely people (me) using iaxclient on Windows with
good audio quality. I have not looked at jiaxclient, so I do not know
how it affects the audio pipeline. Hopefully it doesn't affect the
audio pipeline at all.

What version of iaxclient are you using?

There are some changes in the latest trunk that may help, but it's
going to be a while before I have enough personal bandwidth to put
together another iaxclient release with a new pre-built binary.

Jiaxclient is simply a wrapper around the public API of iaxclient. No 
Java is involved concerning the audio.

iaxclient 2.0.2 precompiled. We use the default audio host API on 
windows (don't know which one that is).

We are going to recompile the library, if you don't know what the issue 
could be. Do you have any pointers to documentation about how to build 
the library on windows (or maybe even cross compile it on linux)? Is 
contrib/win/vs2005 and README.VisualStudio up to date?

Cheers,
	Florian

That's good and as I would expect.

Okay, 2.0.2 has proven to be pretty okay on Windows. I thought you
might have been using one of the 2.1 beta releases.

The default audio API on windows is WMME. In fact, this is the only
one that iaxclient ever tries to use.

Yes, the projects in contrib/win/vs2005 are kept up-to-date as is
README.VisualStudio. The trunk has a yet more up-to-date
README.VisualStudio -- you might peek at that even if you are building
2.0.2.

You may be able to cross-compile 2.0.2, but the trunk and 2.1 betas
will be unwilling. I suggest using Visual Studio 2005 Pro.

Thanks for your efforts.
