As usual, thanks for the useful hint.
Have downloaded the program and installed it very easily and asked a windozer friend to do the same. It looks all very nice with a friendly interface though, voice connection is very poor and scatty.
IMHO, iVisit performs much much better. Did you ever try it?
In the windows-version full-duplex seems to be disabled as default, which reduces quality a lot. The following key enables it and I didnt find any side-effects yet:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Skype/Phone/UI/General/AEC
from 0 to 1
Marius: strange, I don't have this key in my registry. It ends with "General"... Did you add the key AEC on your own?
Definitely a beta, but usable. Voice quality is, as Pieter says, 'scatty', and seems to degrade over time (memory leaks?), and conference calling is missing in the Mac version. Otherwise, it seems feature-complete.
It has a potential to replace AIM for me. Secure IM, file transfer, presence information, voice calls.
My reg key was already set to '1', but could be set by the beta installs.
i've a G5 /Panther osx.3.7,installed the Skype for Mac osx and yesterday lost the mic' talk ,i'm using the iSIGHT camera/mic it was working wonderfull(with late skype version for osx) but suddenly no audio,"never the less on ichat/aim i 've voice perfect,
What should i do
Thank you
Arie
