So…a couple months ago I started getting this “Error: TCP connection timeout”, which means that a connection was not made, and the settings are set to stop trying after a prescribed time limit (that should be enough time). It’s usually due to a kind of “port exhaustion”, and in this case port 4464, the JackTrip port.
All I remember from back then is that I was very busy and after a few days it resolved itself.
Then a few days ago it happened again. There are two probable causes:
- My IP address changed.
- On Saturday, there were 216 attempts to access my network in the firewall event log, which could have maxed out the number of port accesses resulting in port exhaustion.
After trying a number of methods to clear the way to connect, I finally came up with a few fixes:
- Modem factory reset, have to rename it and set a new password, and redo any custom settings, like forwarding, etc. Not too bad for me, but others might have more complicated custom settings.
Now I was able to get a connection, but no audio.
- Discovered that Realtek Audio had 3 updates which I did not see. So I did those.
I can hear the sweet clapping, but ASIO still doesn’t see my built-in mic.
- Re-install ASIO4All and update audio device drivers
Now I’ve got input and output and can connect.
So there you have it - reset the modem, update native audio and device drivers
