Hello Mark
I assume you have already checked your mic to make sure its working. When you speak into the mic can you see the "S" meter move? I'll bet its a setting problem on your side. Next time you have Hamsphere running, drop me a PM here and I'll meet you on any frequency and we'll see if we can work it out. 73 Jerry - N1TKO |

Hi
As a beta-tester I was also unable to get TX audio working on any version of OS X from Tiger up to date. I spent hours configuring ports, reading logs and sniffing tcp and so on within the OS, the router being tested with XP as transparent. I communicated all to Kelly. We conclude it is a failure of the OS to communicate the Java authored audio stream to the hardware correctly. OS X Java im plementation has always been a bit cranky.... Shame but there it is 8-) Good luck and let us all know if you make it work! 73 Another Mark |

WoW Mark.... That was a mouth full! I really don't understand any of that stuff so you are way ahead of me. I hope you can figure something out. Its good to have guys like you around the Forum when people have technical problems.
Take care and best 73.... Also, Have a great Christmas and may 2010 bring you all the Java answers!! Jerry - N1TKO |

Hi Mark + Mark
This is extremely odd. My friend Bjorn/SM0MDG sat here in Cyprus with me and he has the Mac with OSX and we started the jar file. It worked right away. Good modulation. I really want it to work on Mac for you guys. I wonder if any of you could contact me on MSN and I could do some tests. Also I need to read up on the Java implementation on the MAC. I think this error is very trivial. Regards Kelly |

Hi Kelly
I dont use MSN Im afraid, I have experimented with OS X 10.4.11 - 10.5.8 (java up to date) on PPC of several types also using a borrowed MacBook Pro and an iMac using 10.5.8. I have not used Snow Leopard.... is that what Bjorn was using? I suspected the OS firewall at first as its very "secretive" in its activity and hard to diagnose issues, but after some sniffing felt that there was a packet stream on TX it was just devoid of audio. In later HSphere versions I could see that I was TX a "carrier" as Hamsphere shows a spike. Hence the belief Java has the error. I should add that its been like that from the very first version of Hamsphere you released... btw works 100% on XP box through the router and indeed on MBPro booting XP. Be great if it could be sorted! Mark |

I just succeded in getting audio through to TX using a USB audio device. Its very, very distorted and rough however. Ill PM Kelly to see if that gives a lead on the cause.

I often have problems with the microphone, becouse other programs like skype or music player keep messing with the controls.
If I want to set the mic level corretly, I have to tx and then make corrections. It would be very nice to have a microphone indicator on the HS rig, so one does not need to actually transmit to check the mic level. |

I agree! And I have an idea on how to do this.
It's on the TODO list. Regards Kelly > > It would be very nice to have a microphone > indicator on the HS rig, so one does not need to > actually transmit to check the mic level. |

| Have you tried to kill all the processes (Skype, Msn et. all) before using the HS software? There could be an open hook, preventing the use of the PTT. Just a thought. | |

I am using a G5 running 10.5 and a MacBook Pro running 10.6, both regularly updated, and have no problems transmitting or receiving.
I can have Safari, Firefox, Mail, Skype, Echolink and any number of applications running at the same same time as Hamsphere with no issues. I have had a few failures/crashes on log-in but have been patient and managed to get in on second or third attempt. I can post the crash log if it will help.. However, it has been known for some time that Java for Mac is a little finicky and doesn't always work the same way as Java for Microsoft products, so this may be part of the problem.

My MacBook/Pro with 10.6.2 (intel) has been functioning perfectly for about 6 hours continously.

Hi Jürgen,
On a Mac the F1 - F12 keys are used by Expose and Spaces by default. you have 2 options: 1: You will need to go into your system preferences and change the settings for both Expose and Spaces to be able to use the F keys. 2: If you are using a keyboard with an 'fn' key you may be able to hold down that key and press the 'F' key to do what you want.
