Jamulus - dealing with nasty noise.
Apart from the lag/echo effect, you may (but you probably won't) have other audio problems - various kinds of distortion, for instance. There are a few points that can help - but don't spend any effort on this list if things are working well enough for you.
- Use wired headphones, not wireless/bluetooth.
- Listen only to what Jamulus is sending to you, and listen through your headphones.
- Do not monitor your own microphone, or listen to any other souce than Jamulus, or listen through any kind of mixer or audio processor.
Speakers:
- Your computer's speakers should be silent.
- Don't attempt to run Zoom or Skype or MS Teams or Google Meet at the same time as Jamulus.
- Check what's running on your computer, and close down as much as possible. Anything that could use a microphone or a speaker or the internet might interfere with Jamulus. For instance, Zoom is an obvious hazard; a web browser might cause trouble; a spreadsheet probably won't.
- Do not have any other microphone active, or any other audio set-up running.
- Have nothing else close by that could be either using a microphone or playing sound through a speaker.
- You shouldn't have any calls open on your phone or WhatsApp or the like.
