What would cause the agent's voice to be choppy and cut out from time to time?

Choppy or intermittent voice issues in LiveKit can often be attributed to interruption handling settings or network conditions. According to the LiveKit documentation, the

allow_interruptions

flag and related parameters like

interrupt_speech_duration

and

interrupt_min_words

can affect how the agent handles interruptions. If these are not configured properly, the agent might stop speaking unexpectedly when it detects noise or brief pauses. Additionally, network conditions can impact audio quality. As per LiveKit's Slack discussions, high latency or bandwidth constraints can cause audio to cut out. Ensuring a stable and sufficient network connection is crucial for maintaining audio quality. Would you like more detail on configuring interruption handling or optimizing network settings?

@millions-hair-24956 it says krisp only works with the sclae plan. how can i test this? $500/mo to test Krisp seem bad

It seems likely that testing Krisp noise cancellation without subscribing to the Scale plan is challenging, as Krisp is only available on LiveKit's Scale or Enterprise plans, which start at $500/month. According to LiveKit's documentation, Krisp is integrated as an enhanced noise cancellation feature for these plans. For testing purposes, you might consider reaching out to Krisp directly to inquire about their SDK or alternative testing options. As per a Slack discussion, some users have suggested exploring other noise cancellation APIs like Audo.ai or Agora's AI noise suppression as potential alternatives. Would you like more information on alternative noise cancellation solutions or how to contact Krisp for SDK access?
