Yahoo Messenger 9.0 Voice Chat Drops

Had this problem on my last computer which was on the same network I'm currently using. I am able to use the voice chat on yahoo for maybe 2-5 seconds before the person I'm talking to all of a sudden can't hear me, nor is my mic giving any sound input according to the mic status bar in the messenger. Voice conference works perfectly thought is quite scratchy so I would like to use the calling feature. Voice chat works on Windows Live messenger if that even matters. Just wondered if there was maybe something on my router that I needed to enable or disable? Well, just saying, the problem isn't getting on the voice chat with me, its getting the person to hear me and non-stop. Any help would be much appreciated.
(Not an OS issue. I'm running windows 7 RC right now and it did this same exact thing on my last comp, which ran windows XP)

Normal 0 Also send this to your family and friends so they have their computer setup properly.
Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.
Yahoo Setup:

After downloading and installing Yahoo Messenger (http://www.soft32.com/download_30.html ) set it up as follows:

  1. Go to Messenger at the top left and click on it.
  2. Next go down to Preferences and click on it.
  3. Next Calling and Devices on the right and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
  4. Next go to the Test Audio section and (in blue writing) click on “Open the call setup assistant” and follow the instructions on the left window.
Hope this helps. Bud

Voice chat not working

It's clear that you are not using the correct version of Yahoo messenger, some version like Indian version doesn't support voice chat, but US version do. You can download the US version from this link http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/win/ But firstly you need to uninstall the installed version so that it'll not overwrite or retain the old version. Good luck.

Yahoo voice chat problem

You should remember, this is a fee service, so the quality is going to eb a little poor. Some of the things to increase, would be to eliminate all other softwares from running that would use the wifi or network connection. And have the person on the other end do the same. Of all the IM pc to pc chat/talk programs, Yahoo, seems to have the worst quality. if it is for voice only, I might suggest Gtalk, it seems to have the quality consistantly.

Yahoo messenger 'call computer' not working

Hey.. Just got solution for this, all you need to do is go to Preferences (Ctrl+Shift+P) and then go to Connection and down below you would find Internet Connection, set it to HIGH-SPEED (T1-LAN) and click on Apply and then Ok. All you have to do now is to EXIT (dont just close it but Exit out of the Messenger) and then launch the Messenger again. You should have the Call setup options under Calling and Devices in Preferences. (Preferences are under the Messenger menu) -- Dev
