The problem you state is identical to the result one will get if the
data are misaligned. I had precisely this problem a little while ago
when an object purporting to provide PCM style long frame sync actually
provided short frame sync.

Makes sense if you think about it. Misaligned data will blow away your
sign bit, which is replaced with some random value. The original signal
will now exist on an (unknown) 'DC' offset that is much larger than the
signal, with the added feature that the 'DC' offset is in fact jumping
positive and negative in a random fashion, giving large signal
excursions. 

That's a definition of noise :)

Do you overload it?

Yes. I used the full input range.

Thanks,

What about the levels? Do you use the full input range of the AD converter?

Best regards,

I am working on a GSM AMR codec. I have optimized the codec for real
time operation on a Blackfin DSP on the 533 evaluation board. I capture
the input and play it out. I have put the system in two configurations:

(a) No codec, plain loopback of the captured sound on the output
speaker. I get good sound.
(b) When GSM AMR is involved in the operation, the output has the input
but it is subdued heavily in noise. The noise is akin to radio static
but very pronounced.

The codec has been tested/verified with the standard test vectors and
found correct.

What can be reason for the same ?


Best Regards,
Akshay
