[AG-TECH] PIG Microphone Audio dies when more than one person in venue

[Many Ayromlou]

Hi Alson,

It's a pretty common problem. It has to do with Echo cancelation (Echo 
Supperesion)  system built into Rat. If you're running a PIG install (or any 
other install really) you can go to the options menu in Rat and under Audio 
turn off Echo cancelation (or whatever it's called). I bet that right now 
it's on automatic. 

When in Automatic everything works fine as long as you're by yourself but as 
soon as someone else enters the venue and starts talking your machine will 
automatically go into mute mode (to try to get rid of the echo). Now since 
most sites have hardware echo cancellers (Gentners, Polycoms) they usually 
leave their audio on during a conference (or even sometimes on for no 
reason), this will cause setups like yours to "automute" as soon as they get 
in the venue.

Anyways, the short of it is if you have some otherway of preventing echo (ie: 
use of mic headsets or External hardware echo cancellers) then you can safely 
turn that check box off.

TTYL
Many
