Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

1) Using Ubuntu 8.10

2) Empathy version: 2.24.1-1ubuntu1

3) Using my GTalk account from Empathy I try to do an audio/video call from my PC to a friend using Google GTalk client on OSX. I expect user can hear me and I'm able to hear him.

4) I'm not able to hear him. If he tries to call me, I don't get the call too, Empathy doesn't "ring".

p.s: audio/video call works fine if I call him and he replies from his telepathy client on Nokia N810.

Sorry, I didn't specify this: I made different tests: one between empaty and web based gtalk on osx, another between empathy and native Win32 client and the latest between empathy and gtalk client on Nokia N810 (the only one that worked fine).

OK, let's discuss one issue per bug. The web based client is not supported yet.
The win32 one should work fine though. Could you attach stream-engine log please? See http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Debugging for details.

Danny I dup'ed your bug as this one was existing before.
Could you give the material Guillaume asked in previous comment.

Wait, i am confused. Is this bug talking about the Google Talk desktop client? Because mine was referring to GMail Voice and Video chat (web-based).

ubuntu 9.04 empathy 2.27.3

If a windows based GMail Voice and Video chat user calls me the ring tone occurs and I can hear them, they cannot hear me.
If I call them I can hear them but the distortion makes it impossible to really understand, they still cannot hear me.
