LIVECBRADIO TWEAKS AND PEAKS:

Louder Modulation: Double click little grey speaker on lower right Windows Task bar by the clock. This brings up your volume control panel (master volume) At top left click "options" and make sure "Advanced Controls" has a check by it on the left. "Advanced Controls" ON puts a button below the "Microphone Volume" Slider. Button may be labeled "Advanced". Click the Advanced button and turn ON "Mic Boost". Sometimes displayed as "20db boost". Check it. Turning this on is like switching to a "power mic". Leave mic muted in this panel or it will feed back over your pc speakers.
PTT HOT KEY OPTION: You don't have to press PTT with mouse on voiperized to talk. You can set a "hot key" so you can press a key on your keyboard to talk. Go to Voiperized settings/preferences. On lower left you see PTT checked and to the right of that is " hotkey: " with a box on the right that may say spacebar. Click that box. Now press the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard below the enter key. Click OK. ONLY USE Ctrl key or it will briefly key radio when you type messages.

Sound Check: Want to know what your computer mic audio sounds like? Use sound recorder in windows. Go to windows start button, up to programs, accessories, entertainment and then "Sound Recorder". Click red circle to record and speak into your mic about 1 foot away. Press rectangle to stop and then press triangle on it's side and listen to the playback of your voice. Use this to dial in the proper distance you speak from the mic to be clear.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If The Server in the Netherlands that controls Voiperized User Names is down and you have problems connecting, We have a fix.
In Voiperized go to FILE - CONNECT. In the connect blank enter 24.223.235.63
Once you are connected, click on livecbradio and select ADD TOO CONTACTS
Now you can connect to Livecbradio by User Name or IP Address
New users follow the directions below and come back to this message

When the "server" that controls the names is down Voiperized takes longer to start

Disconnected everytime after exactly 20 seconds. Otherwise known as "The 20 second bug". The reason this is happening is because you are using wireless, behind a router or in some cases cheap DSL internet. Meaning, you do not have your own specific direct connection to a static IP address. This "bug" is rare and only effects one out of 40 people that are "behind a router". This is not the fault of Voiperized. This occurs because a stay alive ping from your pc can't get through to everyone connected to you, because the router you are "behind" is not open. In some cases this can be fixed by using "Port Forwarding". Go to your router's configuration panel. Go to the "Port Forwarding" or "Port Mapping" section of your router's configuration. Change the settings to "Allow Port 4379 UDP". This may fix it. It may not. People have switched to cable internet to fix this problem. Some unplug their router and connect directly to their cable modem or dsl router to fix this issue. It's a mystery because some routers do not have these issues.
No Mic Audio: If "sound check", using the directions above works but you still do not have mic audio in Voiperized... Go to Settings/Preferences in Voiperized. On the bottom left in settings you see "SOUND Input and Output Devices. They both say "Primary". Change both Input and Output to the other selection. (the name of your soundcard). Press OK and then Exit and Restart Voiperized for the changes to take effect.

Why does livecbradio receive audio sound different than normal cb radio?
Simple Answer: "Because it is digital". The voice codec used in voiperized is not meant to process static and other noises present on cb radio. Sometimes very weak signals and static will make "R2D2 Noises". The voice codec has a sort of built in noise gate or noise canceling. The static will remain and then be cancelled out in about 7 seconds where some light bleeping noises are heard. This is normal. You are not missing anything as that noise is dead silence. If you hear a very weak signal with this slight bleeping noise and it's hard to hear them, this would be the same as fighting to hear someone with a very weak signal through the static level. What you can't hear on the voiperized receive audio of the cb you would not be able to hear anyway. The noise gate effect of the program actually works to your advantage in some cases. The receive audio of the radio is run through an EQ before going in to voip.

How Does Livecbradio transmit Audio Sound?
If you have a fast internet connection and speak properly about a foot away from your mic, you sound like someone on a cb radio with a $400 Ham Radio Microphone plugged into it. Maybe better. Your mic's audio also goes into an EQ and other processing before it's sent to the radio. People talking on livecbradio receive comments like "wow that thing sounds as clear as a radio station".
Note: People on dial up and slow cheap 20 dollar DSL may experience partially distorted transmit audio if many people are connected. This is the reason to run 10kbps bitrate in voiperized settings. Faster connections will not notice an increase of transmit audio quality by turning their bitrate up past 10kbps. (tested)
