[cisco-voip] 9971 echo on speakerphone

[Wes Sisk]

Nope.  The best traces for this type of issue is:
* packet capture of traffic in/out of phone - allows extracting raw audio
* recording of audio on handset port use Telephone Handset Audio Tap (THAT): http://www.jkaudio.com/products.htm - this allow observing the output of DSP's to handset and input to DSP's from the user environment

Wes

They're running firmware 9.2(1) so it's fairly recent. Are there any configuration or diagnostic features for the DSPs? I couldn't find any.

What phone load are you using? I'm not aware of anything along these lines being tracked on the 99xx phones in recent loads.
 
Stepping back to the fundamentals of echo - If the mic is too sensitive and then environment introduces noise then echo is unavoidable.  DSPs train on the audio signal that is sent out to the speakerphone speaker.  If that audio is mixed with noise in the environment then the audio signal that comes back into the speakerphone microphone will be distorted.  Because of the distortion from the noise the ECAN will not recognize the echo signal in the incoming audio.  This could just come down to microphone sensitivity. I believe there were issues with mic sensitivity in early phone loads.

We are having intermittent problems with echo on calls to 9971 phones on speaker.  I've been able to reproduce this, but not consistently and it seems to only occur on some calls, primarily internal though I suppose PSTN calls may be having the same problem but the gateway DSPs are suppressing it.  Basically when someone calls me on my 9971 and I take the call on speakerphone they hear their own voice echoing and background HVAC noise.  It seems like the built-in echo canceller is not working when this happens.  I've tried different phones in the same physical space with the problem occurring on some but not others so I don't think it's the room layout.  Has anyone else seen anything like this?
 
Thanks,
Eric
