Why "robotic" sound happens with multimode digital voice

When using multimode digital voice systems like DMR, P25, and D-STAR, etc you may experience "robotic" or "garbled" audio due to multiple transcoding steps.

Why Does It Sound Robotic?

Multiple Codec Transcoding - Each digital mode uses a different voice codec:

  • DMR: AMBE+2
  • P25: IMBE/AMBE
  • D-STAR: AMBE
  • C4FM (Fusion): AMBE+2
  • AllStarLink: GSM, G.711, or Opus
  • DVSwitch: Software Transcoder to DMR/DSTAR
How to Improve Audio Quality?
  • Minimize Transcoding - Use direct mode communication when possible
  • Optimize RF Conditions - Ensure a strong signal to avoid excessive error correction
  • Check Network Stability - Reduce jitter and packet loss
  • Use Quality Hardware - Some hotspot devices handle transcoding better
  • Disable "Roger Beep" on Analog Radios when using digital bridges

73, The graph below is the MMDVM dashboard, to increase audio quality, just adjust MMDVM tx and rx offset to get "near-to-zero" BER for best audio quality

Guide to Disabling CW ID and Enabling CTCSS on DVSwitch / AllStarLink Gateways

DVSwitch and AllStarLink nodes are often connected to RF radios for linking repeaters or simplex nodes.

1. Disabling CW ID Transmission
For AllStarLink (app_rpt.conf settings):
   nano /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf
   idrecording = none

For DVSwitch (MMDVM.ini):
   [CW ID]
   Enable=0

2. Enabling CTCSS Tone Decoding on the Receiver
   Edit rpt.conf:
   ctcssfrom = dsp
   rxctcssoverride = 0
   rxctcssfreqs = 88.5

   For CM108/CM119 USB sound card:
   rxctcssfreq = 88.5
   ctcss = yes

Update AMBEserver to handle bad UDP
https://github.com/lwkoon/AMBEserver2

The modified UDP processing function drops corrupted packets rather than forwarding them to the AMBE3000. Features:

  • Start Byte Check - Confirms packet begins with expected start byte (0x61)
  • Payload Length Validation - Prevents buffer overflow from corrupted packets
  • Packet Size Verification - Ensures received packet matches expected size

XLXD OS Migration to Debian

The XLXD OS has been migrated from outdated CentOS to latest Debian.

The purpose of the migration is to mitigate vulnerability on the outdated CentOS OS which has been EOL and migrated to different VM segment but remain on current public IP 103.197.58.223 and with Cloudflare protected.

XLXD Updated to 2.5.3

Updates - cxlxprotocol.cpp:

The purpose of the original code is when no transcoder connected (i.e. xlxd not connected to ambed) then downgrade to using rev1 xlx protocol packets (dstar only) despite connected to rev2 peer.

After the suggested change it will always use rev2 packets (including both dstar and dmr/ysf ambe data) on interlinks to rev2 peers.
