Adjusting the Automatic Gain Control Setting

Do the following procedure to ensure that automatic gain control settings are correct. The procedure levels all WAV files on the Cisco Unity server to the same value, and provides instructions to adjust the playback level if needed.

If the system is using failover, do the procedure on both servers.

To Adjust Greeting and Name Recordings by Using the Set Volume Utility (Version 3.1(3) and Later Only)


Step 1 Exit the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Step 2 On the Cisco Unity server desktop, double-click the Tools Depot icon.

Step 3 If you do not have a Cisco CallManager or a dual integration, skip to step Step 5.

If you have a Cisco CallManager or a dual integration, and the Cisco CallManager region is set to use the G.711 codec, in the left pane, under Administrative Tools, double-click Wave Gain.

Step 4 Confirm that both Record Gain and Playback Gain are set to 0.

Step 5 In the left pane of the Tools Depot window, go to Audio Management Tools, and double-click Set Volume.

Step 6 In the Set Greetings and Voice Names window, click Select All.

Step 7 Confirm that the Save Original Files check box is checked, then enter the location to which the backup copy of the original recorded names and greetings files will be saved.

Step 8 In the Options section, verify the following values:

New Target dB

-26

Sample Size

8000

Max dB Adjustment

5

Min. dB Threshold

-45


Step 9 Confirm that the Save Above Volume Options check box is checked. Note that setting New Target dB to a value other than zero turns on automatic gain control.

Step 10 Click Set Volume Level.

Step 11 When "Done" appears in the Set Volume window, all existing greeting and name recordings have been adjusted to the New Target dB level. Click OK, then click Exit.

Step 12 If you do not have a Cisco CallManager or a dual integration, you have completed all necessary steps in this procedure.

If you have a Cisco CallManager or a dual integration, and the Cisco CallManager region is set to use the G.711 codec, start the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Step 13 Listen to a recording (for example, a subscriber greeting) by using the Media Master and TRaP (Telephony Record and Playback).

If the volume of the recording is acceptable, you have completed all necessary steps in this procedure.

If the volume of the recording is too quiet, continue with Step 14.

Step 14 In the left pane of the Tools Depot window, under Audio Management Tools, double-click Wave Gain.

Step 15 Increase the Playback Gain value by one or two dB. Listen to the volume of a recording.

If the volume of the recording is acceptable, note the Playback Gain value and continue with Step 16.

If the volume of the recording is still too quiet, repeat this step.

Step 16 In the left pane of the Tools Depot window, under Administrative Tools, double-click Advanced Settings Tool.

Step 17 In the Cisco Unity Settings pane, click Set Wave Gain dB Adjustment for Playback.

Step 18 Enter the new value determined in Step 15, and click Set.
