Sometimes the sound cuts out when I listen to the live stream. Why?

Usually this means there are temporary problems on the internet somewhere between our audio servers and your computer - it often resolves itself within a few minutes. You may also hear interruptions in the audio if there is a problem with your computer hardware or software, or if your internet connection is very slow. return

I have the hardware and software I need, but I am not able to connect to the WMHT streams. What can I do?

It is possible that 'all lines are busy', which is why it is important that users disconnect from the stream when they are finished listening, or are away from their computers. Please try back later. If you continue to experience problems, please let us know.
