I am running the Digital Voice Card (DVC) from Computer Age Ltd on my PC and
need information about how to interpret the audio files it produces.
The DVC is a playback/record system that records audio on hard disk as a bit
stream, using one of the many variants of the Adaptive Delta Modulation (ADM)
technique. The ADM technique produces very compact audio files but is not
very convenient for audio analysis. For analysis, Pulse Code Modulated (PCM)
data is much more convenient. In fact, the DVC takes audio data as PCM
but converts it on board to ADM using a Voice Processor chip that I
believe to be manufactured by Toshiba. There are no part numbers on the
chip or in the documentation.
What I need is an algorithm (especially in the form of a C program) for
converting between the ADM and PCM just as the Voice Processor chip does.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Tom Scott

What do you think of your card? Is the sound quality and reliability good? I have been curious about this card for some time. Thanks.
