Hi Peter and others,

My two cents: I've also seen this issue. In my case it's caused by Windows
Firewall in XP (SP2). The firewall blocks incoming access to a port unless
the application is sending from that port. I've not discovered a work around
other than temporarily turning off Windows Firewall, or keeping Talk
selected and muting audio by other means (either using a button on the mic,
or using the Windows Audio control panel).

Hi,

has anyone come across an issue with the AG 2.3 software where you find that
you can not receive (hear) audio from any other participants unless your
local "talk" option is enabled.  Also i would have expected full duplex
audio operation to allow one to speak and receive audio simultaneously, but
it also appears that when you speak locally and start to transmit audio it
cuts of the incoming audio.  Is this normal ?

Ive come across this on two XP based machines now.  It dont appear to be a
networking issue in that once talk is enable others can be heard fine.
In both cases the machines had different audio cards, and one is single Pc
the other a 3 pc system.



Thanks
