macromedia flash flashcom: Hi everyone,

We have a sound issue with Mac users that use our videoconference app.

Here's the problem: publisher of stream(audio+video or audio only) can change
is microphone capture rate(in kHz) using Microphone.setRate(). If, and only if,
the OS of the receiver user is Mac the sound will be ugly(like a bear speaking
in a headphone) when the rate capture is at 8 and 11kHz. When the rate capture
is 5kHz, the publisher seem to speak like Speedy Gonzalez(Buggs Bunny cartoon).
Sound is correct when the capture use 22 and 44kHz.

This work perfectly on PC and this "thing" only happen to Mac user. The
problem is not related to bandwidth(40mBits available) or performance(G5, iMac
had same bug). Video is fluid it's only the sound at capture rate of 5, 8 and
11kHz that bug.

We use FMS and Flash Player 9 on all computer either Mac or PC.


Thanks for your help!!!

Yup... that's always been a problem with the Mac version of Flashplayer. 5 and
8hHz sampling rates aren't properly supported. I thought that 11khz worked, but
since you're having problems I guess it's not fully supported either.

There's no fix that I know of, other than increasing your sampling rate to
22khz

There is a problem with the Flash player on Mac, but it can be fixed by setting
the buffer on a netstream. Player for Mac version has always been like this.
You can try netstream.setBufferTime(.01). This will solve your problem. Flash
player on Mac requires you to set the buffer time although very small.

great hack!!! this really solve all my problems!!!!!!!!!
