Is there a limit to how many people can access the "Listen in Live" streaming audio at any one time?
Yes. There is a finite number of streams that are available on a first come, first served basis.


Why isn't there any sound coming from the Live Audio?
There could be a number of reasons you don't have sound. If the chamber you are trying to listen to is not in session, you will have silence. Also, if the chamber is on a break, many times you will have silence. If you know the chamber is in session, double-check to see that your computer is equipped with a sound card, your speakers are connected and the volume is turned up. Contact our Webmaster if you are still having problems.


What are the system requirements to use the Live Audio program?
A media player is required to listen to the live proceedings from the House and Senate chambers. Most PC's are equipped with media players, such as Windows Media. Other programs, such as Winamp and RealPlayer are available for free download on the Internet as well.


Why can't I connect to the "Listen in Live" application?
There could be a number of reasons you might not be able to get connected to live audio feed. Make sure you have the latest version of the media player application you are using. There may also be "plug-ins" and "drivers" that will need to be downloaded or installed to make your version compatible to the site.

There is also a finite number of real audio streams available on a first come, first served basis. If all the streams are in use, you will not be able to get connected until one of them becomes available.


Why do I get dropped from the "Listen in Live" application?
Internet connection speeds can be a determining factor on "Listen in Live" application's quality. If the connection gets interrupted for more than a few seconds, the server will drop the connection to open the audio stream to the next person.


Who do I contact regarding the Live Audio connection?
You will need to contact Kansas.gov Help Center if you are having technical problems with the "Listen in Live" application.
