Hey guys,

 

Im new to the controlling world and am about to start training.

Now, I've downloaded VRC and tried starting it up.

 

Then i get an error saying

" Could not open UDP Voice Port. Perhaps another VATSIM program is running such as ASRC"

 

Could anyone help me please?

Im running Windows XP.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

As posted in the other topic, FSInn or SB are still running in the background which causes this error. Look next to your clock and see if you see what looks like 2 traffic lights (FSInn) or Squawkbox's icon and close those and then restart VRC.

Windows firewall can also prevent VRC from opening the UDP port.

One of the controllers in ZDV had an IT manager observe some sort of program that showed ports being requested by the controller's computer. He claims that 3783 is the required voice port, and not 3782 as written on the VRC website. He swears by it. Could that be the case?

I just ran VRC and connected to a voice server and there's a connection to the voice server on port 3782. Nothing on 3783.

Same thing for me. Here's an earlier post of mine showing what my sniffer said regarding VRC voice ports: http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?p=353895#p353895

Just wanted to bring this up again. After searching the forums and VRC's, I'm yet to see a solution to have this voice lockout problem go away. Otherwise, I will have to continue pressing the PTT from time to time in order to receive calls. I've tried port forwarding as well. Could disabling Windows Firewall solve the problem?

 

If so, are there any precautions before I turn off the firewall? If disabling it is the way to go.. I'm all up for it

Yep, I've went that way too E. Unfortunately the problem still persist. I'm using DI-624+ by the way.

Hi Romano,

 

If you are behind a router, then there's not much risk in shutting down your firewall. I always shut down my firewall when I fly on the network (more of a system resources thing rather than a network problem) and I haven't had a problem yet. Might be worth trying it out.

 

Cheers!
