Receiver audio is streamed to your computer using the Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codec, which is a unique hybrid voice and music codec for AM radio-style audio streams over low-bandwidth networks. It is designed to do something no other audio codec does well– process audio streams that are primarily voice, but that contain some music. Other voice compressors butcher music. Other music compressors are very poor with voice. S’s are lispy and there is echo. The Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codec provides is a small, low-bandwidth stream with AM-quality audio that sounds great with either voice or music.
