iChat problem

[N.B.Morton]

I use video ichat quite a bit with family and friends. Most of the time when i use it everything works great but when i try to talk to my dad it will work for a couple of minutes then it gets really bad static. Sometimes after a few minutes the static goes away and it is fine after that, but sometimes it does not. While there is all this static my dad can usually still hear me but i cant hear anything. Anybody have any suggestions on what may be causing this?

Static on iChat

I just had the same problem. Only with one of my friends. They can hear me fine, but all I hear on my computer is a static type of sound and you can barely make out the others voice. I've been trying to figure it out.....but no luck so far. I was thinking that maybe my friends computer has a malfunctioning mic or it's just broken.

i dont think it is the mic as my dad has a pretty new imac and it works perfect some of the time. I am thinking it has to be something with the router.

There doesn't seem to be any really conclusive resolution to those of us experiencing this issue. Any luck, anyone?
