I've been using JamKazam (JK) for our music school's rock band rehearsals since the lock down. In the beginning (early April) was getting Network Packet Errors (NPE) and seeing students with 100% packet loss. It was often caused when someone new would enter a session, causing someone else in the session to start having packet losses.
I research old posts here and someone said to try, in JK, Manage > Networking > Packet Rate Configuration, with no other directions or help. So, I just improvised, ratcheting down everything to the lowest settings in hopes of making it easier for the network to handle and not get lost. Outgoing Bit Rate was set at 128 Kbit/s), and Network Packet Rate 100 Pkt/s). Voila! No more NPE! That lasted until this week.
I set up a new band for rehearsals, but one member started getting NPE, so I had them configure as I cited above. No change. In fact, for a short while this week, the ability to change the Outgoing Bit Rate was grayed out. It seems to be back now with the latest update. However, none of those changes has made a difference for one band member, and it appears to be infecting everyone else. We're all connecting within 5-10 miles of each other, blazing speed in all home, everyone connected via Ethernet cable, all audio gear passed the latency test.
I hope this helps some of you and if you discover anything, please let me know!
