"There are several reasons for which you can have no sound at all with
GnomeMeeting :
- The first thing to check is the "History" (View->History). If you are
transmitting sound, you should see that GnomeMeeting starts 2 channels,
one for transmission, and one for reception. If no channels are opened
for audio transmission and reception, it means that you have no common
codec with the remote Endpoint. If that remote Endpoint is using
Netmeeting, it could be a nice idea to make install the MS-GSM codec to
your friend. (See the download section of www.gnomemeeting.org)
- If audio channels are opened for transmission and reception, ie if
there is a common codec, but there is still no sound, it means that
there is a another problem. We have several possibilities too in that
case :
- You are running another program that blocks the soundcard and
prevent it to be opened (artsd for KDE is a typical case).
- You are not using a full-duplex driver. Some OSS drivers are
not full-duplex, if your driver is not full-duplex, try to
install the
ALSA drivers.
- The permissions for the device are not correct, check that the
user can play sounds with other programs.
- You or your friend is behind a firewall that drops the audio
packets. Check that it is not the case.
- Your mixer settings are set to 0, or your microphone is not
recording (ALSA has a parameter in its config file that allows
to boost the volume of the audio recording).
"
I hope that it helps, there are no other possibility for another problem
Here it is:
