Hi,
A friend and myself have installed messenger 6.2. He has ordinary dialup and I have broadband. Our problem is the sound is only in spits and spurts. What can cause this and what can we try to correct it.
Thanks,
David
PS
We both use win 98se
hey there bigredbus,
more information could be useful yet I think, however, just to clearify, when you say “sounds” you mean voice chat….right?
If so, then do you only hear “spits and spurts” of the sound or does your friend too? Or just him?
We all know dialup can be rather slow, and that will not help your situation with your sounds, if thus is the problem of course. Trying to keep your internet activity to a minimum while having voice or video conference is a good idea in possibly helping out this problem. Try to keep downloads and websurfing down. Also, maybe close off some programs on your computer that use the internet.
These are just suggestions, if this is the problem. If not, please try giving more information. Perhaps consider trying to search for through the forums for a similar topic, and you might just find an answer to your question in there.
Hope this fixes it tho:)
Hi and thanks,
Yes, I did mean when we voice chat. And we both experience the sound dropping out. I only have messenger online at the time we use it. And I have tried shutting down stuff, but it makes no difference.
hey bigredbus,
Well I would think this has to do with a slow internet connection, because that was always my problem before stepping up to cable. Really, there isn’t much you can do. Slow interent means slow internet. Unless someone else has something to suggest, I don’t think there is a way outta this one. Sorry!:eek:
I hope this topic will help you, I had the same question with you
