Hi!

I'm new to adobe connect. I've set up a few conference rooms (meetings) and everything but the audio seems to be working. I'm not interes

ted in streaming a microphone voice right now but I do want to stream the sound of the webpage that I'm on. I want us

ers to hear exactly what I hear when I visit the webpage. As a host I hear everything and it all seems fine. As a guest to the meeting I see the page updates and all but I hear no sound at all. I've tried many different settings if not all and I'm out of ideas. Shouldn't the sound be streaming? Need help... Thanks in advance!

Have you considered simply linking your stereo output to the mic input and then making sure the levels are low enough to give a good quality sound?

I have done this with other applications in the past with great success - give it a try with Windows Sound Recorder first and then adjust levels of mic and volume accordingly to get a good clear sound.

The only issue is you will not be able to hear the sound - however this could be solved by logging in another computer with speakers to the room thereby hearing your broadcast - there will probably be some delay (I get anywhere from 0.5 seconds to 3 seconds) but this can actually help your delivery.

Hope this helps.

I think what you are doing is using Share Screen and then navigating to a webpage with another browser but sharing your browsing and there happens to be sound on that page. Adobe Connect will share what is on the screen but it will not share any sound unless that sound gets picked up by your phone. If you want to share a video that has sound in a meeting, then either capture the video and download it, convert it to FLV (any version of Connect) or SWF (any version of Connect)or MPEG format (Connect 8 SP1 version), then share it. At that point if it is one of those formats Adobe Connect will stream the video and sound. Adobe Connect will stream only Flash and MPEG based video and sound. Adobe Connect can also natively share an MP3 sound file.

I've used lots of other web conference tools and none of them will stream sound that comes from a web page when you are screen sharing.

You can share video by using the Share Document pod. Upload any FLV, SWF or MPEG video file with the Share Document pod. All video and sound is streamed at that point.

Clear?

ah okey I think I get it... shame its not possible to simply stream whatever is coming out of the stereo output... :/

guess I'll have to find a way to work around that. anyway, thanks for the reply!

Because of echo cancellation we do not re-broadcast what is coming out the PC speakers. You'd have all kinds of echoing back and forth. Most web conference tools use echo cancellation.

What is it you are really trying to demo to your audience?

Usually, if I am demoing a video off of YouTube, I will use the TalkStick pod from RefinedData which lets me push out in one POD the stream from YouTube. ANother option is to capture video/sound from the website (if is Flash based) with a tool that is a plug-in to Firefox. It captures that movie locally. I then upload the video to the Connect room and share that. When you do that the video and sound is controlled by you and allows you as the speaker to stop and start the stream as needed.

You can also use MP3 tools to share sounds by creating an MP3 file from whatever source you have. MP3 files can easily be shared and streamed.

But again. To stream something in Connect the content has to reside on a streaming server (either using the Connect server or by sending links out and letting people stream).
