Unable to hear ..

Post by Winn »

It's a new MJ and I know it works as it almost self installed on my EeePC. I have no problem with that netbook.

Now I've tried to install it on a Toshiba Satellite 64 bit using Vista and I'd like to get this to work as I want to take it out of the country with me.

The MJ can dial out and calls can come in however I'm not able to hear anyone at the other end although they're there.

HELP!!

Have you checked your settings?
Goto softphone, click Menu, click on volume/headset controls, check if your using tele or headset then adjust volume.

Also check your sounds under control panel, tab to hardware see if you have Tigerjet CD ROM USB device listed in it. Make sure all is working on the sound card itself.

Don't use the ext. cable for MJ, also plug it in the back usb port, or powered usb, and make sure in control panel, system then hardware, device manager go down to all the ROOT USB HUBS and make sure they are not checked for power saving.

Anything I missed, anyone please add. hope this helps.

It was my firewall settings!

Although I was on the telephone for a long time with the Magic Jack techies I can't say enough good things about how I was treated.

We went through many steps, etc.

I use Bell Canada Secuity Services and although I had turned off the Firewall under Windows I had no idea there was also a setting on Bell's program too.

Finally, I turned the Firewall off on Bell's Security System but turned the Windows Firewall on (in the Control Panel) and everything now WORKS!

Nighthawks,

I do appreciate your input too!

Those were all the steps that the techies at Magic Jack took me through and then, some.

Bonne nuit,
