Finally got my sound working, turns out I had to change my sampling rate to be able to hear anything, I don't know much about audio configuration so I don't know why that fixed it. Still don't know if anyone would be able to hear me though since Caneri said he only heard background noise when I tried to call him.

Edit: False Alarm, seems I only hear sound when I am logged out. When I was logged out I called the conference room I heard sound, same with the Music room thing. However when I logged in and tried the same I got no sound at all, strange. Maybe it just don't like me?

Edit2: On the wire's computer right now, same problem when logged out I get sound but when logged in no sound.

I don't understand why you are having so much trouble. Does sound recording and playback normally work?

Have you tried my little SVR program here:
http://www.smokey01.com/software/multimedia/svr-1.1.pet

This will allow to to record and playback.

You may need to use either retrovol or alsamixer to adjust your input and output sound settings.

Have you read the help document in Psip?

Regards

dpup5520 and I have a nice clear call today.

He called me when not logged in and it worked very well. Once the call was in progress he logged in and the call continued to work without problems. he logged in to ekiga.net. We also tried text chatting which worked.

We have not tried iptel.org yet although it did work earlier using the same method.

What may have made a difference is deleting the .psip.conf file and creating a new one.

We need to conduct a few more test before we can confirm this was the problem. Prognosis looks good.

smokey01 helped me figure out what the problem was after a lot of testing back and forth it finally turned out to be my router. Disconnected from my router and everything worked perfectly so now I just have to figure out which ports are being blocked to get this thing working when i'm plugged into it.

Ah ok.. so we need to configure our routers for the correct ports eh? What port numbers?
I guess this is why I have success with 3G but none at home through the router.

Attached is a tool that will help you figure that out.

One other odd thing I found out too was that while connected through my router and forwarding the proper ports I still had to connect to a call and disconnect a few times to get good quality for some reason, however when connected using an encrypted connection using my proxys in puppy crypt I did not have this problem as every call went through properly I'm still trying to figure out why.

Guys I would love to have this too but the problem for me
apart from the tech side of things to set levels and ports and
routers and such

this is the problem. I never shut up I just talk to much

DPUP5520 · #469 Post by **DPUP5520** » Sat 29 Oct 2011, 08:37

nooby the big problem on my end I think was that I am using a router that's just about brand new so there were a lot of configuration settings on it and it was set up to be pretty secure from what I was looking through, I had never really paid attention to the security settings since I run a pretty hardened OS as it is so I never worried about the router itself.
It seems most people didn't/don't have the same problems I've been having and the main setup for Psip is pretty straight forward with the registering and setting up the account and stuff. As I said all my stuff is pretty brand new (I like to have all the new toys to play with) so it seems that was most of the problem.
The biggest thing was the setting on my router sip ALG was disabled which needs to be enabled for Psip to work properly through a router if it has that option.

I have three Dlink routers and them are named D-link 524, 624 and 615
I am sure of them is set up like yours then to compete on the market.

Them usually try to live up to the standard on the market to be able to sell.

So I thank you for the tip on to look at such if the audio act up.

Smokey told that you guys talk without you logged in.
I guess it is about that he see your IP while if you are
logged in then he see your iptel name or your ekiga name?

I mean I should join both of them then and use same
username on both? That way I can join in with anybody?

But my problem is that I talk too much and it will only end in
embarrassment for everybody. But I do long for to chat though.

DPUP5520 · #471 Post by **DPUP5520** » Sat 29 Oct 2011, 10:49

Yes we did talk for a while when I was logged out and still trying to figure out my issues, you can only see your internal IP address when not logged in in other words he saw 192.1**.1.10* which is one of my internal IP addresses. You don't really need two for here from what I've seen it seems on one account you can talk to anybody, for example on my ekiga account I can call into the iptel conference room or talk to smokey01 who is on iptel. I set up both an iptel and an ekiga account simply because I had originally chosen ekiga and thought that might be the source of my problems so I made another one with iptel which im using as my main one now. And yes if you are logged in they will only see your name and not your IP address.
For some odd reason while I was using the ekiga softphone and did not log in I tried to call smokey01 and he could see an external IP address however it was not mine but in my area which was a bit strange.

Thanks Dpup
Is it like Gmail and their chat when I allow mmyself to be visible
and all those who are in my contact list if them allow themselves
to be visible then as soon as I switch on the power in the morning
and boot up into puppy and log on into gmail then my "contacts"
know that I am online and them can make a chat call if them so like.

Actually you bring up a good point nooby. Is there anyway to hide yourself once you are logged in or is logging out the only way?

nooby · #475 Post by **nooby** » Sun 30 Oct 2011, 07:33

Hope I am not derailing too much now but the owner of Facebook
says that the days of Anonymity is over. Deal with it.

I hope him is wrong because if a wife is beaten by the Hubby
ans she has to find a way to get safe from him how on earth
can she do that if Facebook gives her away?

Some kind of anonymity is also required for those living in
oppressing regimes.

And if one work in a company that behave bad and one want
to tell the media about it without getting fired and branded as
a whistleblower for the rest on ones life.

okay back on topic.

I guess as soon as somebody has the range of IP for you
then them can always guess you are one of the 500 that
is up that morning. Here in Sweden the Authorities has told
the IPS to give us same IP each morning so them can follow
us around more easy so one need to force a change and then
them try to change it back. I've given up on it.

Them want us to be known. I trust it has to do with the Pirates
of Movies and Music and Books them want easy way to keep track.
So I decided to stay outside of Torrent and such.

There I go again derailing. So you guys talk over IP phone

I tried to make it in however was unfortunately incapacitated at the time.

My problem is that puppy phone just locks when the setting shall be closed
I just locks do nothing.
I will try the one in midnight sun to see if same happens
Very important info from Dpup

The biggest thing was the setting on my router sip ALG was disabled which needs to be enabled for Psip to work properly through a router if it has that option.

I trust my Dlink 524 is set up like that too and I have forgotten how I log into that one. Too long time ago for my poor memory to remember and
I most likely wrote it down on a ad paper and throw it away later.
Not realizing anything important on it.

Old psip already installed worked good. The new shiny one I'm too stupid
on hopw to set up.

old one asked nothing about firewall it just worked while the new one
asked about firewall and I had no idea what one should answer
and when I tried to go online it just tried and tried and never managed to do it.

I will be away now for some 3 hours or so.

Thanks for all the cheer up. Nice talking to you guys.
