Onj, I work with large conferences and play audio quake, and have my email open at the same time, and sometimes download files as well without a problem.

Skype runs at 16 khz only and requires p2p to work if you wish to play with a group of people which, if you're trying to host a skype conference and play a game at the same time, will be a drain on bandwidth. The issues with volumes being quiet is very simple to fix. In the main tree-view there is a slider or two, and one of them is the overall volume slider for inbound traffic. I personally run and own, as specified by the developer of teamtalk, the largest server in the world to date and have done for more than a year. Far from skype being better, it's infinitely worce. Not only would the person hosting the skype conference have to have a great deal of bandwidth, tipically 3-6 k per person, the more people you have the more processor it uses. Teamtalk's highest quality sound setting is 32 khz, and skype's is a meer 16. Rather sad when voip soundes so much better, and skype really do need to get their backsides in gear if they actually intend to realistically keep up with the market today. Lets assume you want a 5 person conference but want to play audio-quake at the same time and lets assume you need 4 kb per user. I'm not as yet even sure how much data quake sends both ways but it's more than dialup, especially on TBRN where the server is heavily modded, but for the sake of it, lets say 5 kbps. for now we'll also say that like one friend of mine, you have a poxy 128 k upstream, and you're the only one able to host a skype conference with the 4 other people. Quake takes up 5 kb, skype will take up 16 kb, and this does not include overheads. Oops? We've successfully gone overquota. What to do now? Well ladies, gentlemen and others, move to a better product. Teamtalk. You can: Make a room on the server and have as many people there as you wish at whatever bitrate you wish, from a meer 600 bites per second, to 32 kilobits per second. Since the teamtalk server will be taking care of your traffic, you need not worry that you have too little bandwidth to host your skype conference. It is unnecessary. Use either PTT (push-to-talk) or voice activation. Have true full-duplex where skype lyes. Actually, the person with the loudest or most obnoxious microphone will physically vox out anyone else trying to speak. skype is marketed as full-duplex but in actuality is not. Test this for yourself if you do not believe me, I urge each and every skype advicate to do so. Control the volumes of each person in the conference for the reasons specified above. With teamtalk, each user has a mute and a volume which you can set at your pleasure. I could go on and on but I will not. If anyone has any questions, do not hesitate to skype me, (unfortunately I do still use the product,) and I will get you set up with Teamtalk if that is what you all require. My skype name is: Andre_Louis I have a tutorial about Teamtalk and links to connect to my server on my website.
