Hi. I am in a Band of 6 folks, based in Scotland, who have been using JamKazam for about 4 months with reasonable success, including doing gigs online.
Recently there have been a number of software updates, some of which have caused ripples.
Our latest challenge however, is that one of our members has relocated to her flat, which has a new router, and while she can connect to one other player, audio is dropped to all others , with 'packet receiving error' messages displayed. What to do given an error message which gives no forward direction?
There has been a lot of discussion across the forums of configuration approaches. JK obviously supports a number of routes. Legacy information from videos and the forums does not necessarily hold true now.
There may be a Firewall to block port access in the router, or within the PC/Mac, (or both or neither) with specific application permissions or blanket policies.
It would help if someone could describe what JK needs, in one place, for lightly technical folks! Do the following statements hold true?
Router setup can use any of:
How can the correct settings on the router be verified? e.g YouGetSignal.com/tools/open-ports/
Are both ipv4 and ipv6 valid options? ( I resolved one problem by ticking ipv6 on what I thought was an ipv4 link, - it kept going when unticked )
All users MUST use the same ipv4 or ipv6 addressing scheme.
If there is any issue reported by JK, then the cleanest way to reset is to 'restart the client' which is an option on the Manage menu.
Some documentation of the Audio Booster page would probably help too.
When it works, JamKazam is excellent!

Router setup can use any of:
- UPNP - this seems the default, as most PCs and routers in our group have not gone anywhere near port forwarding.
- port forwarding - UDP works best, in a range of about 10 ports from , for example 12000.
- Single port NAT ?
