Siphone fails to initialize speaker and microphone

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When starting Siphone, I can't hear anything and the other end can't hear 
anything. When I start 
iTalk and instantly quit it again and start Sipphone again, it works. It seems 
iTalk initializes the 
microphone and speaker correctly. However, when I lock the phone and start 
Siphone again, I 
don't hear anything again. I have to start iTalk again, quit it and then 
Siphone works again. This is 
really, really annoying, especially as iTalk is a shareware that only works for 
15 days. IMO, it's a 
real blocker.

Latest for both, that is iPhone OS 2.2.1 and Siphone 2.0.6 (also happened with 
2.0.5).
It seems like it's a volume problem. I can't hear anything without the iTalk 
trick,
but if I say something and shout into it really loud, the other end can hear 
really,
really, really quiet noise.

Hm, the comment disappeared, but I'll reply anyway as those questions were good 
and answering them might 
help: I _DO_ hear the DTMF tones, but don't hear anything when calling. 
Rebooting the device does not help - 
it does the opposite, If I reboot, I can't hear anything again, I have to start 
iTalk first - just like it is when the 
iPhone is locked and unlocked again.

Sorry, i removed my comment because I realised that I was having a different 
issue.
And I also _DO_ hear the DTMF tones but sometimes they are very quiet even when 
the
volume is up max and other times they are really loud.

Can you try Siphon 2.0.5 instead? I was having strange issues with 2.0.6, your
problem might be related (see issue 146).

Yes, the volume of the DTMF tones is varying, it seems a little bit louder when 
I started iTalk before, but it's 
always hearable, Can you try the iTalk trick, plz? As said before, the issue 
also happens with 2.0.5.

jschleifer,

My problem only appeared in 2.0.6 and is described in issue 146.

I don't have italk (i did but it expired and i won't buy it because they stole 
code)
but i do have the PennytelMobile app and I tried that before calling on Siphon 
and it
did not fix the problem.

My problem is definitely new in 2.0.6. The fact that you also had issues with 
2.0.5
indicates that you are experiencing a different issue.

Do you have an iphone 3G or an original iphone? (I have a 3G). It sounds like a
hardware-related issue however I don't think you can rule out a NAT problem. 
Have you
tried this on other WLANs? Is it possible that italk is setting up a NAT entry 
that
Siphon is then using?

Also are you running any 'hacks' from Cydia? Backgrounder? Anything that hooks 
into
MobileSubstrate?

You don't need to buy iTalk, just launching it is enough. I guess it will even 
work when it expired.
My iPhone is an iPhone Classic. This is definitely not a NAT problem as it 
works when I started iTalk and 
instantly terminated it again. And it's not a NAT problem as the call is 
running and the connection established. 
iTalk can't do anything regarding NAT an I don't have UPnP configured on the 
box that acts as my router - I 
prefer configuring it manually.
I'm running Backgrounder since 2.0.6, but without Backgrounder when I had 
2.0.5, I had the same issue. 
MobileSubstrate only adds the 5-row keyboard for me and some Safari hacks.

Its actually sounds like the same issue as issue 146 *before* it got hijacked 
with
the new 2.0.6 issue (i.e. all the comments pre-March). The reporter was also on
iphone classic.
