The audio recordings include the audio before and after it's processed by the audio processing module.

By comparing the recordings, you may be able to determine where the issue is coming from.

We found in some scenarios that when the browser is playing sound, especially if the sound is loud,
59+
and the user starts speaking, the user's audio input in the first few seconds may be overly processed,
60+
leading to distortion in the sound. This can be observed by comparing the ref\_out.wav and input.wav files in aecdump files.

## How to inspect aecdump files
35+
36+
To inspect `*.aecdump` files, you must use the `unpack_aecdump` utility program, the source code of which is available on the Internet.
37+
38+
Run the command:
39+
40+
```
41+
unpack_aecdump.exe audio_debug.5.aecdump
42+
```

46+
There are three different types of audio files extracted from the aecdump file
47+
48+
* reverseN.wav: the rendered audio originated from the same process
49+
* inputN.wav: the captured audio, before audio processing.
50+
* ref\_outN.wav: the captured audio, after audio processing and will be sent to the network.
51+
52+
If you think that audio quality issues are on the sending end, you can first check ref\_outN.wav, find the possible problem time points, and compare them with the same time points in inputN.wav to see if the audio quality issues are caused by the audio processing module, or if the audio quality was already poor in the source.
