Poor audio quality

[calico-crusade]

Description

Very poor audio quality. Audio is very choppy and horrible sounding bass for everyone on the call.

I'm 99% sure it isn't related to internet connection or computer's power, I've tried the following setups;

• Windows 10, i7-7820X, 32GB Ram - 500mbps down, 40mpbs up.
• Ubuntu 16.04, i7-8700K, 32GB Ram - 500mbps down, 40 mpbs up.
• Ubuntu 18.04, AWS EC2 T2.medium (4GB Ram, 2CPUs) with T2/T3 scaling enabled

I get the same poor performance on all of those platforms. Every now and then the audio quality will get better for a short period of time, but then will tank again after a few seconds with no added processes or services.

What can I do to mitigate this?

Are the lavalink logs stored someone specific or do you need an extract from journalctl?

Edit: I have not changed any of the default settings within Lavalink or SharpLink/Lavalink.py as the documentation is sparse or none-existent.

The setup you have described should have worked fine.

Very poor audio quality. Audio is very choppy and horrible sounding bass for everyone on the call.

What is your volume set at? A volume over 100% could come off as choppy and destorted. This is revealed in your logs.

Lavalink is not distributed as a Systemd service. Logs are written to ./logs/. But journalctl works too.

Discord was / is having some issues with voice due to high load, Yesterday all the music bots were lagging so this could be related.

Volume is 100% or lower. I have a hard coded restriction on this. I've tried lessening it and increasing it. Audio quality was still a problem. There isn't a logs directory, afaik. This would appear in the working directory/ the same directory as the lavalink.jar, correct?

I'm running lavalink as a systemd service, working directory is set to the same directory as the lavalink.jar.

If it is as @Repulser says, then there really isn't much to do about it now. I'll see if I can find the log files in the mean time.
