iChat audio not working

[alienne]

Hi all,

I scoured almost all the threads I found on this topic, but still can't seem to fix this issue. I'm a relatively new user to osx (having switched from windows).

i havent enabled the firewall and I have opened the following ports using port forwarding on my router: 5060, 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384 through 16403.

i want to get audio chat working on my Gtalk account on iChat and this is the configuration I'm using:

server: talk.google.com
port: 5223
ssl: checked

can anyone tell me what else I should do to get audio chat working on my Gtalk account? Please help me!

Did you open System Utilities->Sound->Input and select the microphone you want to use? Once you do this test it locally to see if it works.

hey satcomer, internal microphone IS being recogonized... but the thing is, the "call" icon is not even displayed in iChat next to anybody in the list who is usin Gtalk on windows WITH audio facitlity... why is this???
