[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1359004"] Ah yes, that's MUCH MUCH better thank you! I had no idea that Paltalk existed, now I understand much better what you are talking about. Okay so bear with me a little bit Shep, I still have a few questions, but I want to help if I can so if you don't mind: 1. I'm not clear on whether you're streaming music FROM your iMac or TO your iMac and (if the latter) where the music is originating. I imagine you mean you're playing music from (presumably iTunes) on your iMac and sending it wirelessly to some speakers somewhere via the Airport Extreme. Do I have that right? 2. You have a super-powerful machine there and lots of RAM so I'm pretty confident that you're streaming music FROM the iMac then the iMac is *not* the problem. So the next thing I would suspect is the network. Are you using 802.11g or 802.11n? Other than iTunes streaming and the chat, is anything else that might be using bandwidth running in the background? Are you using the video chat or just regular "typing" chat (video of course takes up a lot of bandwidth)? 3. Related to the question about 802.11 -- how old is that Airport Extreme? If you're using 802.11g and trying to do both music streaming and video chat, that could be the problem right there. [/QUOTE]
