Problem: one-way voice communications

[George]

I have just moved from Win98 to a new machine with WinXP.
I have spent hours using the pc to pc voice communications
of Messenger with the Win98 machine. Using the same
broadband connection on my XP machine, I can hear my
connection on the other end, but they can't hear me. We
both have removed out firewalls to see if thats the
problem, but makes no difference. My microphone tests ok
on the new pc and makes the vu's pop in the Messenger
panel. All other functions of Messenger seem to work fine
(but Remote Assistant does say that there is a
configuration problem when trying to establish a voice
connection). Any ideas where to look? Thanks.

Hi,....What is the supposed problem with Intel NIC cards. I have seen them
mentioned several times, but no reasons given? I am looking for a solution
to NO audio with Mess 6, after success with all previous versions.

A large number of them with the most recent drivers have
the problem described in this thread.

Jonathon,
Had already tried everything up to the QoS scheduler.
That did the trick. Why does does this fix the problem?

Hi George,

To be honest, this is actually a recent fix that someone else discovered, and I haven't found
the exact cause. Some people (including myself) have the QoS Scheduler engaged without any
voice conversation problems.

And I have never had it running and cannot get audio. Maybe I should start
it, eh? (g)

Greetings George,

Firstly, make sure you've gone through the Audio (and Video) Tuning Wizard in Messenger. To
do so, open the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Audio Tuning Wizard, then
go through the wizard to select and test your camera.

Then, verify that the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall isn't on -- click Start, then
click the Control Panel. If you're in category view click Network and Internet connections
then click Network Connections. Right click your network/internet connection, then click
Properties. Click the Advanced Tab, and verify that the Internet Connection Firewall is
unchecked. As well, if your contact is using some type of third-party firewall (ZoneAlarm,
Norton Internet Security, etc.) have them make sure that Messenger is set to "Permit All",
"Allow All" or "Medium" (ZoneAlarm).

If that's not the case, and if you're using a router (with UPnP support), you may need to
remove the current port forwardings. To do so, click Start, All Programs, Accessories,
Communications, Network Connections. Right-click the "Internet Gateway" (should be under the
Internet Gateway heading) and choose Properties. Choose the Settings button, click each
'msmsgs' or 'msnmsgr' entry and then choose 'Delete' to each one. Then close Messenger
(right-click the Messenger icon, choose Exit), then restart Messenger.

Finally, you might try turning off the QoS Packet Scheduler. To do so, click Start, then
click the Control Panel. If you're in category view click Network and Internet connections
then click Network Connections. Right click your network/internet connection, then click
Properties. Uncheck the QoS Packet Scheduler, then reboot and try again..
