Audio Stream Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What do you recommend if I'm trying to listen to KALX over a slow modem?
The 24K Mono stream.

I often get rebuffering messages. Anything I can do?
Yes, lots of rebuffering usually means your Internet connection speed is slow. Try listening using one of our slower streams like the 56K Stereo, and if that doesn't work use the 24K Mono stream.

I have a real slow computer and am having trouble with the RealAudio stream
We've heard rumors that folks with older, slower computers have better luck with an older version of RealPlayer.

I'm having trouble listening to the RealAudio stream on my Mac. What can I do?
If you are using MAC OS9, and are unable to connect to the stream, try the following:
- Launch RealPlayer
- Choose "Preferences..." from the "View" menu
- Click on the "Transport" tab
- Click the "Use specified transports" button in the top section
- Click the "RTSP Settings..." button
- Set transport for RTSP to be HTTP only by clicking the "Use HTTP Only" button
- Click "OK"
- Then Click "OK" again to exit the preferences section
- Quit RealPlayer
- Try playing the KALX stream again

What should I do if I get a message asking me to "run auto configure"?
On some machines, the initial attempt to connect to our stream may produce a message prompt asking you to "run auto configure". By clicking OK, your player may then be able to start the audio stream after trying several different connection protocols. The auto-configure procedure will not disable your player even if you are still unable to connect to our live stream.

I can't listen to your audio stream at work. What gives?
Sometimes if you can't access the stream or see "undefined" error messages, you are probably behind a firewall. Some unenlightened businesses filter what their employees can see on the Internet at work, and unfortunately, Internet radio is a prime candidate for being blocked. If this is happening to you, your only hope is turning someone in your IT department into a KALX fan.
