• 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.
• 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.
• "Choppy" Audio: Choppy on and off audio is caused by people trying to key livecbradio with wireless keyboards. Example: You are using a wireless keyboard with the Ctrl key as your PTT. For some reason, many wireless keyboards will not hold the PTT signal. Another words, you press and hold the PTT button and the radio jumps in and out of transmit mode. Use a regular keyboard if you must have keyboard PTT (push to talk).

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 effect. 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. 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. The transmit audio is not effected by this phenomenon because static and other noises are not present..
You have to understand, it takes time to process audio in a computer format. If the receive audio sounded like super-duper surround sound stereo, there would be a huge delay. (many seconds) This is the best sound you can get in real time. Voiperized is tested faster than a local cell phone call with many times better audio quality. It's less than a second delay from one side of the earth to the other. Anything with better audio quality would cause a delay on the radio, causing people to talk at the same time.
