Settings

Set the Opus audio bitrate per channel. If set to "Custom", the Opus audio codec supports up to 256 kbit/s per channel with a recommended range of ≥64 kbps.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is a compressed audio format optimized for speech, standardized by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute and adopted as a mandatory codec for GSM and 3G mobile networks. The codec dynamically switches between eight bit rates — from 4.75 to 12.2 kbps — depending on network conditions and background noise levels. When link quality drops, the encoder shifts to a lower rate, trading marginal clarity for transmission reliability. This adaptive mechanism is defined by the 3GPP specifications and represents one of the most widely deployed voice codecs globally, used in billions of mobile calls. The primary advantage is compression efficiency: one minute of AMR audio at 12.2 kbps occupies roughly 90 KB, practical for voice memos, voicemail, and MMS on bandwidth-constrained networks. Another benefit is built-in voice activity detection and comfort noise generation, reducing transmission during silence. While AMR is unsuitable for music due to its narrow bandwidth (300-3400 Hz), it excels at delivering intelligible speech under challenging network conditions.

opus

Opus is a versatile, open audio codec standardized by the IETF as RFC 6716 in 2012. It fuses two coding approaches — SILK for speech and CELT for music — into one algorithm that blends between them based on content type and bitrate. This hybrid design lets Opus outperform virtually every other codec across a wide range of uses: low-latency voice at 6 kbps, high-fidelity music at 128 kbps, and everything in between. It supports bitrates from 6 to 510 kbps, sample rates up to 48 kHz, and frame sizes as small as 2.5 ms, giving it the lowest algorithmic latency of any mainstream audio codec. Three advantages make Opus especially compelling. It is completely royalty-free and open-source, removing licensing barriers that hold back proprietary codecs. It achieves transparent quality at roughly half the bitrate of MP3 and beats AAC at equivalent rates. And its low latency makes it the mandatory codec for WebRTC, so every modern browser ships with an Opus decoder. WhatsApp, Discord, Zoom, and YouTube all rely on Opus for real-time audio.
