So regarding the audio issues I have done everything I could on my end to see if it was me: restored my computer back to a restore point two weeks ago, update my webcam drivers, unplugged-plugged in my webcam, uninstalled and reinstalled the encoder, rebooted my computer etc. Hasn't helped at all. No word back from support but it definitely seems like a site issue and not user issue if so many of us are affected. It's such a piss off though to have such bad placement

Audio
this sounds stupid BUT it works
I clap my hand loud at my cam and it works again
it sounds so fucking stupid but it works
The trolls that came in in my room was funny. Those names alone cracked me up bc I KNOW the models have better things to do besides troll. We dont troll, we make bank and keep it rolling. I wanted you guys to know. These people/person have to be on a level of retarded that I cant understand.
Its like smoking weed but not inhaling and then wonder why there was no effect.
As far as other trolls
I have had some nasty things said but its one key to my success.
one this week,
Your not worth 10 dollars
I wouldn't pay for a bitch that looks like the NAVY
This person was filled with insults that made zero sense to me bc Im pretty as fuck and cocky. It comes with the job.. the longer I do this, the cockier I get when ppl insult me.
I was shifted into a private and to get away from the troll. Love my customers
While in private the person types in FREE "rate her a 1, she fakes everything"
Everything wouldve been cool and the person would not have been banned but since that bullshit was said, banmotherfuckerban
I love a troll. I make bank off trolls

I would rather know a model here and not the cam name.
I have been accused of trolling models and Im not the one to look at bc I give zero fucks what models do, who they are, what fetish they specialize in, if they hold zero gold shows, i give zero fucks.
The main reason I dont troll, I hate to watch a model make money when im not

I'm so fn frustrated! I too am having probs with not having HD or the Audio icon show up and it's so messing with my placement, I blocked my state so I can't tell what page I'm on but when I only have 0-2 fuck wads popping in and out of my room I know I must be deep in the books. I've been emailing support but just crickets. Sundays usually my good day, you know it's bad when u make more on cams.com then on sm.
Sorry for the vent but it just started happening today.
Which encoder do you use 3.1 or 3.2?
Ok I'm done, thanks for listening

I have 3.2. But a few pages back someone has uninstalled and re-installed both. I noticed today while streaming with Chrome a little audio button flashing on the tab Looked it up and apparently this pops on when the website is broadcasting sound.... I have not tried using another browser... that is next.

Hello,
We are aware of known issues regarding the information on the My Ranking report and are working to correct these as soon as possible. In the meantime, as long as your audio is working correctly and users can hear you, there is no further action needed on your end.
Streamate Performer Support
[email protected]
That's the support reply

So good they bothered to explain that to you. I've been ping-ponging e-mails back and forth with support and all they do is give me mostly automatic replies, telling me to follow the troubleshooting steps described on streamatehelp.com.
Meanwhile, I keep being prompted by TV producers saying that I don't have audio enabled when I clearly have!
Unfortunately the sound issue is not my only worry. Since the end of september I am having a lot of issues with my image pixelating, lagging, blinking and my bitrate dropping horribly like other girls have also mentioned here in the previous posts.
I inverted in a super fast (and expensive) internet and PC about a year ago and my ISP claims that everything on their side is working normal.... Having read so many similar comments here from other performers it is clear that these recent issues are not on our end.
I hope that SM will be able to fix this soon because my traffic has dropped drastically and it starts to become very worrying.

Couldn't find the original post on here to quote but here I go anyway:
"Quote Originally Posted by SoloDesire View Post

I will be emailing them constantly until it gets fixed though...I suggest you all do the same."
FUCK YESSS!!! I AM SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING.
& I hate people that type in all caps, so you can get an idea of my level of excitement. I started having this issue about 4 months ago when I opened a new account. I first emailed Liz who said that streamate has a program that detects audio and if it doesn't hear anything after so long it automatically registers that your not using audio. I really don't like to bother Liz so I gave it a few days to see if it fixed itself and started writing to SM support instead (we had just gone through a lengthy process of trying to fix my display country because for some reason it was showing up as Russia)
I've always played music in my background so if there really is a "detection program" it should always register as me using audio... nope.
I'm unable to do TV show gold shows because when a producer tries to request a show I get a message that says "You are not eligible for TV Gold Shows because you are not using audio"
I've been going back and forth with SM support for 4 months. I swear they are a bunch of idiots. Worst model support ever. They wanted all these details like a screenshot of me streaming, a screenshot of the TV producer message, a screenshot of me in a private, a screenshot of me trying to setup a gold show (and i've never had issues with any of the previous... so I dont know what they think they are asking). Then they wanted my computer specs, my encoder settings, my internet speed information. Finally when I did everything and everything they asked they would try something generic like "Use the encoder in the low settings" Yes.... you stupid dumbasses I've tried that and everything else and it's not my problem it's yours.
Currently I have 3 separate support tickets for the same issue with 3 separate model support people and no luck at all. It's driving me incredibly crazy. I'm almost tempted to write a nasty letter to the CEO but I have no idea who that is.....
My god, only now I saw your post so I could quote it. I happens exactly the same to me!

Still not fixed for me this week. It's been so slow sitting back on page 2 today :( I can barely get any conversation going. I emailed support AGAIN today to see if this glitch is being worked on...I'm gonna be a fucking nuisance until it gets resolved. I'm not even making half of what I'm used to making :( Might just call it and try again later when there's more traffic...cuz when it's already slow, having your placement kicked way back sure as hell makes it harder to make any money.

Trolling takes too much work. If I don't like you or I'm feeling some type of way about you, I let you know to your face (or on your screen, lol) as I'm a very blunt person. Some people can't take my honest opinion and that's okay but I would never go as far as harassing someone's room.
I might not care for you but I'm not interested nor am I okay with taking food out of someone's mouth when they're working. The thought of having to sign out of your own account, log into your custies account, and then troll/tag sounds like too much work. I believe I have an idea of who it is as it seems this person has had issues with everyone that's been getting harassed lately. Even if a IP proxy server was used I'd be too afraid that SM could see right through it and ban my account. I'm not trying to fuck with my money.
Hell I created one custie account last year so I can tag myself and haven't logged in since. I don't even remember the password, username, or email I use to sign up with. :( That's how many fucks I give. My advice is to block them asap, report them if you can, and stay on and keep banking.

so today I tried without the encoder and only using HD wide. It went well, better(ish), I recommend trying it if the encoder goes tits up, but it's still hit and miss. Every time I logged off for whatever every feature could go flying out randomly like a fart in a room full of drafts. So I'd have to restart and restart until the hd internal coding re-captured my HD status. sigh. then it stopped working and I went back to the encoder, which shows my bitrate at 0 but at least shows HD.
all in all I still can't help but feel I spend too much time diddlying with the settings instead of grinding. my online avrg time went from 25 to 15% and lower in the last two weeks.

Yes, same here... And in the previous days you will find other girls' posts with similar issues. Today once again was horrible: my video froze many times, lots of delay and pixelating image, when everything is in order with my equipment. It's starting to piss off my custies too...
Oh yes, there is still no audio icon in my profile while everyone can hear me perfectly. But no audio icon does mean a lot less traffic and no possibility whatsoever to do TV shows. I don't know what to do anymore. Support keeps on asking for new screenshots every 2 days. I really hope that Streamate can solve their glitches soon.

Today was a rough one. No HD icon and no Audio Icon. I was told that I was on page 4. Thank god for my regs who found me or I wouldn't have made a dime today. Everything was great until about a week ago and that's when everything went down hill.
I'm taking my laptop into my genius of computer repair guy maybe he can do some magic, I don't know but I'm in a slight panic and will try anything at this point. I can't go on working like this, I split but a huge chunk of my $ comes from SM, well at least it used to, kinda feel like I'm being black balled from the site

It is confirmed they have a bug they are trying to fix. Bugs are screwy little things, sometimes difficult to find in thousands of lines of code. In fact some people have careers as Bug Bounty Hunters. Even when they do find the bugs in the thousands of lines code that have to be meticulously gone through, it could be a tough fix.
I am not sticking up for the mess, but it is what it is. I have been on SM for 2 years now and these glitches are nothing new, it is a life cycle that one must prepare for and take the good with the bad. Last year when they went wide screen it took me 2 weeks to recover from glitchyness. I honestly thought my cam career was over and went 12 hours without making a cent. I went from making $800 to $300 for the exact same hours; I was devastated. But like all things, this shall pass. :-(
Sometimes we have to put in more hours, sometimes we barely have to work, it seems to be the way this game goes. What I do not understand is why it is only this way for some and not system wide. I suppose if I was in their office I would understand.
I sent support a lot of detailed info on some experiments I ran on what happened when I did this or what happened when I did this and a lot of details. I put an email tracker on the emails that tell me when someone opens it up. This one particular email has been opened 6 times in the past day. I think they are trying and me getting mad is not going to do anything expect mess up my day and give me wrinkles. And yes, I have bills to pay too and really really need the money, but it is out of my control.
Sorry for the rant.

Still having issues. I tried to use HD but not encoder, I had the hd icon for like 3 minutes, still not detecting audio even tho people could hear me, back to page 2 (I said, oh well, better than page 5 that´s for sure)...then nothing, it dissapeared and back to page 4. I saw girls that usually are in page 1/2 lost in pages 3 or 4, and some cams didn´t load at all. Not a good day to work I guess...
