[AG-TECH] Choppy audio

[Jeremy Mann]

Thanks Jason, but Sara in the UK replied. Turns out the problem was a
half duplex network setting on my Mac. Once I forced it to full duplex
the choppy audio went away. What concerned me was the other
participants heard it too and their problem went away when I
disconnected. This would leave me to consider that if anybody else has
choppy audio problem it will affect everybody else.
