Audio Alg.  Select the preferred audio algorithm. The available 
audio algorithms are: 8 (G.729/G.723.1), 16 (G.728/
Siren7), 24 (Siren14/G.722.1/Siren7), 32 (Siren14/
G.722.1/Siren7), 48 (Siren14/G.722/G.711), 56 
(G.722/G.711), or 56 (G.711).
Siren 7 and Siren14 are Polycom proprietary audio 
algorithms. Siren14 may be used if the system is 
configured to Wideband.
Note:
 The system must include:
• The appropriate Polycom settings to support 
Siren14
• Siren14 is available with Audio+ cards
Even if the conference is set to Siren14 if the 
endpoints do not connect in Siren14, the 
conference will use G.722.1 instead.
In Video Switching conferences, all of the 
participants must use the same audio algorithm. 
Participants with endpoints that do not support the 
algorithm selected for the conference are connected 
as Secondary (Audio only). If the conference line 
rate is set to 2B or 128 Kbps, to achieve the best 
audio and video quality select the appropriate audio 
algorithm for all the participants in the following 
order: G.728, G.722, G.711
When Siren7 (16, 24 or 32 bit) is available, select the 
audio algorithm in the following order: Siren 7 (16), 
G.728, G.722, G.711, Siren7 16 bit and G.728 
algorithms are interchangeable, and a participant 
using either one will be fully connected when one of 
them is selected as the audio algorithm.
If the conference line rate is higher than 128 Kbps, to 
achieve the best audio and video quality, select the 
audio algorithm in the following order: G.722.1 (32), 
G.722.1 (24), G.722 / G711.
