Okay so when I have Chrome/email/whatever as my primary focus VRC's voice stops working, and I have to hit my push to talk key to get it to actually work. Is there a workaround for this or am I stuck hitting my PTT every now and again for my voice to keep working?

Just checking, but did you follow the VRC installation instructions that require (in red, too!) you to forward port 3290?

Also, forum searches are your friend.....

I don't believe it has anything to do with your operating system or other software. It sounds like the famous UDP timeout. Suggest you search the VATSIM forums, VRC forums, and worst case Google, for information on forwarding port 3290. In rare cases, antivirus firewalls have also created an issue. Start with the forwarding first.

 

Let us know how you make out.

Will give it a whirl, isn't an issue unless VRC isn't my primary focus so didn't think it was that. I tried google searches/vatsim forum searches but I guess my searching skills are lacking. Will give that a try and see how it goes

Nothing says I'm right, but it sounds like the cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ic UDP timeout issue to me. Give it a go and let us know. Good luck!
