This bug is not really a duplicate of #1261666 because all that one fixed was the compiling with webrtc part. Pulseaudio in 16.04 is still not configured by default to enable echo cancellation and just doing the changes to /etc/pulse/default.pa doesn't seem to work as the module fails to load complaining about configuration settings. It would be very nice if this was just a regular part of the distribution and enabled by default out of the box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1370407 Title: pulseaudio should be compiled by default with noice cancelling and echo reduction Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In other OSs either the system itself or the sound drivers provide settings to enable noise reduction and echo cancellation. However in pulseaudio it has to be manually compiled in. It's a feature that should be a standard, and don't come with such a pain to enable, as I believe it would of very useful to provide by default. To implement this a dependency to Webrtc library should be added, as well as a couple of configuration lines: In debian/rules file, go to ~line 57 and add "--enable-webrtc-aec" to DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS (say after the --disable-hal-compat option) In debian/pulseaudio.install file and add: usr/lib/pulse-*/modules /libwebrtc-util.so Enable webrtc plugin in /etc/pulse/default.pa: sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa ### Load echo cancellation module load-module module-echo-cancel source_name=echosource aec_method=webrtc set-default-source echosource To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1370407/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
