BuenaVista FAQ
Q: What is the slider in ‘Audio Tool’ for?
A: Slider selects the send/receive switching level in half-duplex mode. If you have ‘auto’ switch on, BuenaVista Audio Tool automatically switches between sending and receiving audio. If the level of received signal is higher than the slider position and the level of microphone signal is lower than this position receiving mode is active (you cannot talk). Otherwise, sending mode is activated and you are not able to hear the incoming signal.
Q: How does the ‘auto’ switch work?
A: ‘Auto’ mode enforces automatic switching between signal sending and receiving. Refer to the previous question for detailed description. When ‘auto’ mode is off and you have full-duplex audio card (capable of playing and capturing audio at the same time), application uses this mode. Otherwise, you need to switch between send and receive manually (pushing the mic/speaker button).
Q: How to make BuenaVista to work with Tango?
A: You need to modify Tango configuration file:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator\Program\plugins\Tango\conf\application.conf
Change the line starting with 37 to:
37 <your BuenaVista directory (with backslash at the end)> Bvtango.exe
Q: Why does BuenaVista for Tango stay when I press the ‘Quit’ button?
A: ‘Quit’ button on the BuenaVista for Tango panel provides functionality to terminate the conferencing applications e.g. Audio Tool, Video Tool (highlighted in the ‘Applications’ box), not the main panel itself. To terminate whole system you need to highlight the BV session in Tango panel and press ‘local close’.
Q: What to do when I get ‘Can’t bind daemon socket’ message on SGI?
A: Under some circumstances one of the BuenaVista modules–NCSengine does not free its main socket immediately after closing the application. It happens a couple of minutes later. Therefore, all you need to do is wait a few minutes and try to restart BV.
