AOL effects brodcast quality?

DJ Skrull · 17th February 2003, 05:39

Everything seems to begoing good, thanks everyone. I just have a question, not really a problem.....does AOL effect my broadcast quality? Im runnin AOL 8.0 on a DSL connection. I brodcast preferrably at 128 sterio, and everyone says that it skips "too often". Meaning it needs to rebuffer. Any suggestions? I only connect using aol, i dont have an alternative. Thanks again everyone!

Modem users will not be able to listen to or broadcast a 128kbps server.

none of them dial up, theve all got broadband, thats the first thing i checked

try lowering your bitrate to 24kbps and see if it still skips.

DJ Skrull · 17th February 2003, 21:37

Lowering the quality does lower the skipping frequency, but my friends who run off a cable modem would say it skips every 5 seconds, while other running a 56k would say it skips every 3-4 min. :-/

you shouldnt need to have AOL loaded is what he's sayin. it is probably stealing bandwidth.
