Voice connection issues on teamspeak

[Arlellie]

I am having some problems with getting teamspeak to work correctly.

I can connect to the server
I can see the other players
I can send//recieve text messages to the others players

I cannot hear other players (or even see the green light beside their name flashing when they are talking).
Other players cannot hear me or see my light flashing when I am talking (I see my own light go green when I use the push to talk).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other checks carried out:
Reset the sound card to all default setting and reinstalled the latest drivers.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Teamspeak (latest version)
I can verify the microphone works (from just using wondows sound recorder)
I have port forwarded both the standard 8767 as well as our own server port

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heres the thing............... it sometimes does work.............. sometimes when i try and connect its fine and people hear me and I hear them no problems (until i get disconnected or lose connection somehow). It working is highly intermittant, like 1 connection out of 100

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea what may be causing this but I have notieced a few things:
When I uninstall and reinstall Teamspeak it seems to renember the server information, this leads me to believe that the uninstall isnt removing everything and whatever file keeps that information may also have something set wrong (I assume its an ini fileor something similar in a windows folder since I tried also deleting the Treamspeak folder after the uninstall).

Possibly the outgoing port needs forwarded as well? (and sometimes it randomly uses one that i already have open). I find this idea rather unlikely tho

The server version is older than the client version, server is 2.0.20.1, client is 2.0.32.60

Any suggestions or ideas to help are much appreciated

I do not know how to solve your problem but I can answer some questions that you have asked.

Most firewalls do not block "out going" to the server. Outgoing actually refers to the server speaking to the client. Either way there is no need to forward what the client uses.

TS also has a configuartion file that is saved in C:\Documents and Settings\<your windows account name>\Application Data\teamspeak2 if you want to delete everything. That is done so that different users that login can have their own settings.

Thx for the reply,
I have now tried uninstalling and then deleting the config file then reinstalling, no joy there either.
I didnt think the outgoing ports would do much but im kinda drawing a blank as to where the problem may lie.

Seeing as other users are all ok on the server that suggests the problem is on my end.
Unfortunatly I fried my laptop recently, however I was using teamspeak on that earlier in the year with no issues, so I believe that my router setup is ok.
This would mean its an issue on my local desktop

Ive reinstalled both sound card drivers and the client software.
I can connect to the server ok and text chat (and even get the voice warning of players joining//leaving) so the actual connection isnt the issue.

Im not sure where else to look, codec issue? (seems strange that it can work then upon next connection it wont)

Any other ideas or insights are more than welcome

---------------------

Edit:
Ive built up another PC from various spares i got lying about and it worked first time no issues
This is starting to make me think there is a hardware issue/conflict on my main desktop or something that TS isnt using correctly

Ill list the general spec to see if anyone can verify if there is any known issues(if any other component may affect it just ask and I can list):
MOBO - K8N Diamond
- Chipset - nForce4
- Soundcard is an onboard SoundBlaster Live! 24

CPU - AMD64 4000

G-Card - Asus GeForce 7800GT
