18 Configuring Comfort Noise and Gain
Control
The Lync network provides high voice quality by implementing suppression of typing noise
during calls and improved generation of “comfort noise,” which reduces hissing and
smoothes over the discontinuous flow of audio packets. You may need to configure the
PSTN Gateway to match these voice quality features, by enabling silence suppression,
comfort noise generation, automatic gain control (AGC), and echo canceller (enabled by
default).
Note:
Silence suppression is configured per coder type, as described in
Section 0 on page 165 .
