Buffering Problem

Goldeneye2415 · 26th February 2003, 19:41

when i host my station, the only thing i have up and running is the shoutcast dns, the server prog, and nothing else so i asked someone i know to check the station out and see how it sounds, and he said it buffers every like 10-20 seconds. Is there anyway i can fix this?

edit*
iam on high speed internet (cable) also

thanks

well bit rate are you boardcasting at? and how fast is your friends connetion?
and what are the specs on the computer thats running the stream?

my bit rate is : 128kbps 44.100khz, stereo
my friends connection is cable
specs of this computer is : Compaq 530mhz, 312ram, AMD K6 3D Processor

That is probably too high.
run the speedtest to find you max upload.
Try lowering the bit rate a bit.

You might want to drop that bitrate down a bit. 96kbps 44.1 still sounds excellent. Even 80kbps 44.1 is very good.
