Tech: Paltalk problem: My 'client' not okay

I frequent Paltalk, and have had what I consider very good sound, both going and coming.

Tonight I tried to sign into a music room, and got an error message more or less to this effect:

The room you selected supports a high-quality sound quality that the client you are using does not support.

And it does not let me into the room. This room had a rather large population in it, one of the largest rooms there, so I'm assuming it's not just the personal hangout of a small number of computer geeks with cutting edge technology.

First, what do they mean by "client you are using"?   Is it software on my machine? Hardware on my machine? A setting on my computer? A setting on Paltalk? Something to do with my ISP?

I thought I could get an answer to the above in the Paltalk support rooms, but when I clicked on the support room it refused to open to me.

Wazzamatta? Have I got halitosis (virtual or otherwise) or something?   

Any ideas?

Hi DaveO,

A few weeks ago, Pal released a new beta version (8.2, I think) with dramatic improvement in sound quality (although it is a bit too "digital for my taste, particularly on the high strings). Paltalk requires this new beta version to enter rooms that are equipped with the capability to handle the sound enhancement. I just checked the Paltalk site and the version is available for download. I can't wait to hear you under the new version! For the time being some rooms will require 8.2, issuing the message you received if you are down level. 8.2 will work just fine in rooms that are not 8.2-ified.
