How did video decoding in software affect sound quality? Is this just a typo/brainfart?
- cameron_b 6y agoThe video encoding/decoding could have leveraged hardware accelerated codecs and freed up resources for audio encoding/decoding
- microcolonel 6y agoAudio encoding is not of particularly high complexity. Even the highest complexity modes of the best codec right now (Opus) are like 60-100x real time on commodity hardware, and not too far off on phones.
- IanCal 6y agoI don't know if it's what they mean but having your fans go absolutely nuts in every meeting can't be great for sound quality.
- londons_explore 6y agoHaving spent 5 mins debugging it... it looks like the audio and video buffers are occasionally not exactly the same lengths, and it causes a glitch in the audio whenever the audio buffer is slightly longer. It doesn't seem to happen when not CPU capped though, which I haven't quite figured out...
