ValueError

[thijsdeschildre]

with python 3.10, I use the example script:

import soundfile as sf
from pypesq import pesq

ref, sr = sf.read("ref.wav")
deg, sr = sf.read("deg.wav")

score = pesq(ref, deg, sr)
print(score)

and get the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lattepanda/Documents/pesq3.py", line 7, in <module>
    score = pesq(ref, deg, sr)
  File "/home/lattepanda/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pypesq/__init__.py", line 21, in pesq
    max_sample = np.max(np.abs(np.array([ref, deg])))
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. The requested array has an inhomogeneous shape after 1 dimensions. The detected shape was (2,) + inhomogeneous part.

Hi, I think the deg.wav and ref.wav should be mono-channel audio.

Hi, I think the deg.wav and ref.wav should be mono-channel audio.

thanks, good pointer but no luck. do you have any sample files that should work?

[vBaiCai]

import soundfile as sf
from pypesq import pesq
import numpy as np

# ref, sr = sf.read("ref.wav")
# deg, sr = sf.read("deg.wav")
sr = 16000

ref = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, 16000 * 10)
deg = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, 16000 * 10)

score = pesq(ref, deg, sr)
print(score)

you can try dummy input data.

[thijsdeschildre]

yeah, that works. no idea what is wrong with my input data. files have the same length and the audio is somewhat aligned. or does it need perfect syncing?

[thijsdeschildre]

OK, found it. I had to use a tool to cut both files to exactly the same length. now it works.
