A Baffling ConnectNow Problem ....

My colleage and I work in different parts of the state. We have been
trying to get Acrobat ConnectNow to work in a vid-conf mode. He is
using s MacBook Pro(OS X & loaded) and I am using a Dell desktop
GX-520 (XP Pro SP3 also loaded). The MacBook Pro has a built-in
webcam & mic. My Dell 20" LCD has a Logitech QuickCam® Ultra
Vision w/mic. When we make a connect thru ConnectNow - the same
problem occurs everytime. Both webcams function - we can see each
other. When I speak, he can hear me clearly. But when he speaks into
his mic - I cannot hear him at all. We have both checked our own
equipment and test our own computers - everything checks out O.K.
When we each go into ConnectNow we use the Preferences menu to
select Speakers & Mic ==> Test Mic/Test Speakers and both of our
devices check-out O.K. We both connectvia T-1 lines. This is a very
puzzling problem. Any ideas, suggestions, advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you, in advance. Andrew

    Hi!

    You should be able to both talk at once- I just tested it in my ConnectNow room successfully.

    Here's something I noted though- I couldn't hear the participant in my room at first. I could tell he was speaking via the indicator, but I couldn't hear him. As soon as I turned up the volume in Windows for my microphone, both he and I could hear each other perfectly fine.

    As far as I know, there is only one direction at a time, means: When you speak, he can't speak. May be you have some kind of constant noise on your mic? This would make the Application assume, that you speak all the time, and switch of your friends soundstream.E. g. sometimes an electromagnetic field can make a microphone send a constant noise.
