i really hope someone can help me. i use voice chat/conference a lot to talk to a group of my friends, and just recently it started acting up. after i’m in the conference window for awhile and a person is using their mic, i can’t hear them. everyone else will be able to. the ‘enable voice’ button will be pressed, but still nothing. i have to press the button twice to be able to hear again. this lasts for ab another 15 minutes, them i have to press again. after ab 5 cycles of this, i get an error msg saying ‘you are not authorized to participate in this voice chat’ and i have to leave and be reinvited into the room.
this happens when i’m just listening to other ppl talk. when i plug in my mic which is attached to headphones, it doesnt do this as often, but the voices still disappear after awhile.
does anyone have any idea why it does this?:crying: it’s really gotten annoying.
i have version 7.5, i had 8.0 beta for awhile, but it was acting up too much so i went back to 7.5.
Do your friends mention having any of those same problems or is it just you?
Also have you by any chance tried going back to 7.0 since i don’t think 7.5 was a very stable version. And what kind of internet connection do you have?
Or if it has started working properly again please be sure to let us know for anyone else who is having this same problem!
no, no one else is having the issue. i’ll try going back to 7.0. i use a cable modem to connect, with a wireless router.
Hi Dreamer – and welcome to BigBlueBall. 🙂
You describe an ongoing problem I’ve had for many months, probably since YM 6 (I’m now on the latest YM-8).
I too use voice conference a lot, and occasionally (3 or 4 times a week?) my hearing simply vanishes. But I “work around” this by simply tapping my talk button, which invariably brings it back fine (IF/when I REALISE I’m missing out on something!)
This seems to occur fairly randomly – I haven’t yet spotted a pattern, though clicking on other windows, e.g. browser, while listening seems to encourage it happening.But as for any “buildup” effect over 15 minutes, then “You are not authorised…” – I really don’t have that, despite spending many hours in some conversations.
A problem shared may not be a problem solved, but at least it goes some way towards it! Few if any of my friends have the same problem, so it’s good to find someone else who definitely does. Let’s keep an eye on it, and any suggestions welcome.
ty for the welcome eagle_kiwi.
wow, yeah it really does make it a little better to know i’m not the only one out there experiencing this. i was starting to think i was going crazy.
but yeah, with me it seems to be happening more frequently. 3 or 4 times a chat instead of a week, and really more than that. all ove my conference voice chats are super long, usually from like 9pm-2am. so needless to say, it gets really redundant and frustrating.
i’ll def let you know if i notice anything diff, and yes, any new suggestions are welcome. 🙂
