Regression: video kills audio again #1158

Closed ElLamparto closed 8 years ago

ElLamparto commented 8 years ago

Audio alone works fine. After switching on video, audio stops (or just some cracks are produced). The video itself is ok.

Reverting to the old version on both sides (0.3.9 if I remember well) fixes the problem.

Debian Jessie 32bit connects to Win7 64 bit.

can you duplicate that with any other friends, or with an echo bot?

ElLamparto commented 8 years ago

@GrayHatter: I don't need to. I manage my friend's system via TeamViewer myself ==> everything was done correctly. We have tried a few times. We had a decent Internet connection.

* The old uTox version works without an issue.*

IMHO the issue should stay open (unless it is a duplicate).

@ElLamparto please open the issue at https://github.com/grayhatter/uTox/issues/ , because: https://github.com/notsecure/uTox#this-repository-is-no-longer-maintained

@ElLamparto I was wondering if it was a linux issue, or a windows issue, so if you tried it with linux <=> linux, I'd know more where to look

ElLamparto commented 8 years ago

@GrayHatter, I understand. I have two Debian machines at home, but on the LAN everythig works correcly.

I have exactly the same issue with qTox. I tried Win7 32bit to Debian 32bit. Could it be a toxcore problem? Should I open a ticket for toxcore?

One more thing. Sometimes the audio works with video on, but only one way. And the audio quality is good! Could it be a problem of audio session initialization when the available bandwidth is limited ?

µTox had the same problem about a year ago, but then it was fixed.

@GrayHatter, sorry for still being here... ;-) When an audio is on and the user requests a video: is the audio session reinitialized?

While chatting, qTox has a nice feature to notify user on ACK reception. I just had a video call with someone via qTox and the audio was one way only. She did not hear me, so she sent some text messages. She said that it took up to 30s to get an ACK (normally it takes 1s or less).

Maybe while initializing an audio session, the timeout or the number of retries should be increased? I do not know if it is managed in µTox or in the toxcore... Just an idea..

not in uTox, don't know about toxcore you'd have to ask @mannol

as for the other question, I'd have to ask irungentoo

mannol commented 8 years ago

There is no reinitializing of any kind. I'd say it's an error with qTox.
