If these entries are present, you need to install the newest version of WinPCap 
available. See 
 in Chapter 2 of this document for details on 
how to install WinPcap" Note that Before you install the new WinPcap 
version, you need to uninstall WinPcap 3.0, restart the agent’s system, and 
then install the newer version.
If these entries are not present, increase the tracing mask on the agent‘s 
computer to 0xf0f and try to silent monitor the agent again. 
Symptom
The monitored audio on the supervisor desktop is not clear (frequent 
drop-outs or audio distortions)
Possible Cause
The supervisor softphone requires some CPU power to decode 
monitored audio packets in real time. If the CPU is used heavily by other 
applications on the supervisor's PC, the audio decoder may not have access to 
the CPU power required to keep up with incoming audio. Here are some steps 
you can take to improve audio quality:
Stop any unnecessary applications that are running on the supervisor's 
desktop machine.
Open Windows Task Manager on the supervisor's machine and check for 
other applications that may be utilizing a large percentage of the 
machine's CPU. 
Check the tracing level on the Supervisor Desktop. Silent Monitoring is 
tuned to work well at the default tracing mask of 0x40000307. If the 
tracing level is set higher than the default, silent monitor audio quality 
may be impacted. Reduce the desktop trace mask to 0x40000307 or 
lower.
An overloaded network may cause audio packets to be delayed or lost as 
they are sent from the agent to the supervisor. If a large number of audio 
packets are lost or do not arrive at the supervisor in a timely manner, 
monitored audio may be degraded. Check with your system administrator 
to determine whether you are having network bandwidth issues and fix 
any network problem.
