Hey Everyone I'll be quick and to the point,

I've got a new 21.5in IMAC running xp via bootcamp. Mod runs great on max settings etc. Often however I'll join a squad and some of their transmissions if not most will come back with a bit of stutter. Makes it hard to understand orders. I've confirmed several times that the rest of the squads voip is running great, just mine is wonky. Rarely I'll join a server and have no issue, but very often the stutter kicks in and I can't understand orders as half the Leaders sentence cuts out. Also my mic is running great as they can hear me without interruption. Internet wise my ping is beyond super as I've got a Verizon fios connection with low ping on the servers I play.

Any solutions? Is this a sound/integrated card issue? If so what should I do...

anyone? need help still plz

Make sure windows is up-to-date.
Get the latest bootcamp drivers.

Or this could maybe be a network problem. How is it setup?

What router do you use? Check your routers VOIP settings.

"Some routers with 'packet inspection' turned on can also trigger a disconnect when game data or voip traffic triggers a false "ping flood"attack and the router shuts down needed ports to protect your network.
So try turning packet inspection off to see if that helps.
If you have a busy network you can also get dropped if your packets are consistently getting delayed due to high traffic. (your ping jumps way up from time to time)
If your running Xp you can tune up your internet connection
with TCP Optimizer to maximize throughput.
check out speed guides web site
click here to use their
TCP/IP Analyzer
results will show if you can improve throughput.


Having a router like D-links gamers lounge, that can prioritize traffic( they call it
GameFuel), can make a night and day difference.
This GameFuel improves your online gaming experience by ensuring that your game traffic
is prioritized over other network traffic, such as FTP or Web. This is of course much more
helpful on networks with more than one user, but if you like to download bit torrent or
other large files in the background while gaming you'll be glad you have one that can prioritize or 'shape' traffic.
So the question is where is the bottle neck? Is it inside the network (your PC to your router) or outside (modem to game server)
Inside a better router should help.
Outside improved throughput should help"
Good luck
