Hey, this if my first time posting on here so thanks in advance for the help and of course all of the patience! So, I'm helping my buddy get set up with Jamulus so that we can get some jamming/practices is in. My set up works great and have only great things to say (which is why I'm pushing him to get up on it). Now, his set up is having some issues.
He has a wired ethernet connection and is using a Roland UA4FX interface. Whenever he joins the server I'm on (I've even tried one that I host on one of my dedicated systems that works well for my local sessions) I get very, very, very, very poor audio signals from him. It comes in very "garbled" and sounds chopped up like I am only receiving 1 out of every 10 chunks of sound or something.
Jamulus defaulted to 5.33 ms (128). The sampling is also defaulted to 48 kHz on his set up. We checked to make sure that the ASIO settings matched these (128 and 48 kHz).
Other users in the server also stated the same issues with his audio quality.
I can't say I can even make out any of the sound he is making. It is just an "underwater" sound every second or so when he is playig guitar for instance.
On his end, it initially sounded pretty garbled as well but after checking some things and noticing that I was feedbacking through the system a bit (given my own input/output set up) it got better for him, but not great. I'm referring to his playback through the server.
Any help or recommendations on this would be amazing. Again, thank you for the help and taking the time to read this.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have realised recently that that "underwater" sound is a sign of a poor Internet connection. Be sure that wifi is turned off in the computer, it is possible to be using wifi even if a cable is plugged in. Try increasing the buffer size. He can also lower the requirements on the Internet connection by setting to mono and low quality.
Does that improve the situation ?
LarsL's idea would also give another clue.

To separate computer / sound card issues from firewall/Internet issues - can he try connecting to a server running on his local PC?
Just an idea..
