When I make a Skype call, I always seem to get G729 and not SILK. Is SILK only use for calls between Skypes (and not Skypeout)?

- pilif 17y agoI'm guessing here, but as a Skypeout call at one time has to go into the classical telephone network, probably using some existing VoIP infrastructure in between, the higher sampling rate of SILK would not be of any advantage and the audio would have to be recompressed (probably to G729 anyways if the call goes over some "classical" VoIP network. Considering that stacking up lossy compression algorithms is never a good thing for the quality, they might opt for encoding to G729 right at your end of the call.
- MikeCapone 17y agoThat makes sense. I just called the Skype Test Call and it used SILK_V3, so that would be further confirmation.
