INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to optimize audio performance for voice chats and for conferencing in Microsoft Office Groove 2007 or in an earlier version of Groove.



MORE INFORMATION
To optimize audio performance in Groove, use one or more of the following methods:  Upgrade to the current version of Groove. Audio performance was significantly improved in Groove Virtual Office 3.0. Run the Audio Tuning Wizard. To do this, click the arrow at the bottom of the chat pane in any workspace. Then, click Audio Tuning Wizard. Confirm that you have sufficient resources. Depending on the version of the Groove workspace, voice transmission in Groove uses one of the following codecs for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP):  Workspaces in Groove Virtual Office 3.1 and in earlier versions of Groove use the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) TrueSpeech codec. Workspaces in Groove 2007 use the Microsoft GSM 6.10 codec.

. Both of these codecs provide some compression. Depending on the network details of the recipients, Groove may have to transmit the compressed audio stream separately for each recipient of the audio transmission.

Note Workspace versions do not always map to the version of Groove that you are running. To find the version of your workspace, right-click on the workspace name in the workspace listing, and then click Properties.
