same happened with me as i have only 256 kbps bandwidth connection. go
to "Edit > Preferences" and do these 2:

1.) choose right audio-codecs (according to your bandwidth).
2.) if you do not have any need for a web-cam, disable the video support there.

both will do the job. i have disabled the web-cam as i donot find any
need for it. i think voice-chat clients are better with Audio support
only :)
