Hi All

I am using FreeDv on Windows 10 with no problems at all.

I have set UAC to allow programs to write to most directories on my
system.

The other option is to install in the root directory. C:. Win 10 does not allow programs to write data into the Program Files directory.

OK so maybe I need to make sure FreeDV isn't writing any data files, or
if it does write them, they should go to c: or some other temp
directory. I think I am just writing a log file as a debug feature
anyway, so it can be disabled.
I'll take a look at this over the next few days, then see if we can get
a new exe to try.
Thanks guys!

been a while, but I did make some steady progress. (Trying different training strategies can take days at a time) I made a new version of the patch with some changes: - I cut out a lot of silence and noises from the training material (like the breathing). There is no real point in reproducing such noises perfectly. I also added David's samples and some other nice ones I found that where different from all I already had. (Also some children voices) - Instead of three times 256 values (resulting in 24 bits) I used two tables of 1024 values. (20bits). 24 bits of course give a slightly better result, but I think the bits are better used now. On average the error is about 1.7dB lower than 700C. - Wo and Energy each get an extra bit. - The last two bits are used for voicing. One of the things I noticed when listening to audible artifacts was that the combined Wo and voicing was resulting in Wo being interpolated from the hardcoded non-voiced default back to the voiced value. This sometimes
results in an audible pitch shift. Having a voice bits seperatly makes this a bit less likely.

It also seem like maybe we should install to a different program files
directory on 64bit systems? If we can determine where that is, then I
should be able to adjust the settings for the NSIS installer.

Thanks,

Richard and David,

Windows versions, if installed in C:Program Files (or C:Program
Files(x86) for 32 bit versions on 64 Bit OS)) should write any needed
data to the C:Users<uesrname>AppDataRoamingFreeDV folder. This has
actually been the preferred method since Windows XP, but has only been
enforced since Windows 8, from what I understand. Doing it this way
avoids the privilege escalation that occurs when running the software as

Administrator, which is just as dangerous (if not more so) than running
applications as root user on Linux.

Thanks Mathew - I wonder if there is a Win32 system call to return that
path. As well as debug/log information there are also times when the
program records wave files, but the user gets a dialog box to choose
record file locations.
