Intermittent Audio

[Josh]

I am having a problem during my audio conversations. I
can hear the other person fine, they can me, but complain
I am constantly cutting in and out. I have already
disabled the QoS packet Schedueler as nobody could hear
me before I did that.

I am behind a router, and SMC, but tried bypassing the
router, same problem. I also tried a different mic,
still the same problem.

I am running messenger 6.1 & windows xp pro on the ASUS
P4P800-VM
(http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4p800-
vm/overview.htm) with onboard audio and NIC.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Josh

Still having this problem, I downloaded new drivers for
my NIC (Intel pro/100 ve) and turned the QoS packet
schedueler back on. People can hear me now with the
packet schedueler on, but I still cut out on the other
end.

Could this have anything to do with noise/echo
cancellation technology that messenger uses. In the past
people say I go silent when I am not talking, now, it
seems to be happening when I am talking.

Anybody have any ideas, I am almost out of them.
Thanks, Josh

What are you doing when using messenger?
If you are on the net/surfing/any other thing then don't as other tasks will
cause audio to cut out.
Just do one thing at a time.
I can be heard ok by my contact if they are not using Internet explorer or
anything else to do with internet..
If I surf or anything else then my adio drops out.
Bandwidth, cpu usage and a few other things cause it.
Anything needing a lot or more cpu usage while using messenger will make it
happen.
One thing at a time is best.
