MORE INFORMATION

To optimize audio performance in Groove, use one or more of the following methods:
  • Upgrade to the current version of Groove. Audio performance was significantly improved in Groove Virtual Office 3.0.
  • Run the Audio Tuning Wizard. To do this, click the arrow at the bottom of the chat pane in any workspace. Then, click Audio Tuning Wizard.
  • Confirm that you have sufficient resources. Voice transmission in Groove uses Digital Signal Processing (DSP) TrueSpeech compression over Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The TrueSpeech codec yields a stream of about 8 kilobytes per second. Depending on the network details of the recipients, Groove may have to duplicate this stream for each recipient of the audio transmission.
