Mine does not sound metallic, but it does sound "fuzzy". But consider this: The basic audio in Asterisk is 16 bits x 8000 samples/sec = ~128 kb/sec the mp3 stream is at 16 kb/sec That's a lot of compression If various filters and level adjustments don't help, maybe you could try streaming at a higher rate. If you are using a streaming provider service, he may charge more of course ... 73 Ken

Good Morning, I have Icecast, Ezstream and Lame all working together to output audio from Asterisk. Currently using .mp3 format from the setup examples but not happy with the audio quality (has a metallic background sound to it).
Is there a way to output WAV file audio instead of MP3? I've tried different settings for LAME but it doesn't help. I know that Asterisk has great audio written to the log files, so why can't I use this instead of piping through Lame?
Secondly, would anyone be willing to share an Icecast/Ezstream XML example that does not require the filename extensions (i.e http://localhost:8000/Filename.mp3)? I would like to just publish the basic URL and port (http://localhost:8000). We used to do this with a Windows Media Server before consolidating on one Linux server.
Thanks for any help.
