I've had this for a few weeks now with no real problems, now all of the sudden, I have to yell into my phone for people on the other end to hear me. I tried the magicfix and latest update with no luck. I tried different phones, no luck. I searched for this and read other posts but have not found a solution. I tried turning the volume up on the magicjack, no luck.

I love this thing but if I can't talk to nobody, it's worthless to me.

Anybody know what else I can try?

Am I the only one with this problem?

Try it on a friends puter and if it does the same thing on theirs, you'll know you have a bad MJ....if it works fine, then there is still something messed up in your system or setup.

so if I am understanding you correctly (and the logic isn't hard), if I have this issue, depsite it happening on my mac and on my pc, then I am SOL?

If this is the case, what are my remedies... I too have this problem. I have had this problem since the day that I first tried it (a few weeks after I got it).

Please please please please please... has anyone else had this problem??????

I started having the same problem within the last 2 weeks. The system worked fine when i first got it but now people can't hear me even though I can hear them.

I would hope someone could assist us by providing an answer. I will also try the device on my PC.

From the last week or so I have the same problem in my MJ, in the start of any call it works ok but within 2 to 3 min. only I can hear the other side clearly but they can't. still couldn't find any solution.

I've never had any sound issues....but have heard that if you have a router, try cycling it off/on. Another area to look is to make sure you don't have anything muted or turned down in your Volume control window. One other thing that seems to be an issue for some is the type of phone used.

I use a Uniden DECT 6.0 wireless connected to my laptop, then run wireless from my laptop to my wireless router. No issues whatsoever with static or sound quality.

If you've tried just about everything, before you decide it could be a bad MJ, take it to a friends house on their system and see if the problem is still there. If it works fine, you'll know there is still something messed up with your own configuration.

Signal was bleeding into bed room, they gave me small box to keep on floor to block signal from electrocuting him in bedroom. just trying to cover all info. I spent half the day yesterday on phone w/ my son, yelling, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? !!! He is hearing every other word. Can someone please please help me? I am not to computer savvy, but I can follow slow directions. E mail me would be ok, [email protected] Please help, I so want this to work. donna
