I just downloaded the latest version of yahoo Messenger (8,1,0,209) and my speakers and mic appear to be working fine. I ran the Call Setup Assistant and even left a voice message to a friend’s computer, however, when I enter a chatroom I get this error message: “The computer’s audio server could not be initialized.”????? Any insight would be great as I’m completely clueless as to how to proceed or how to fix this. Thanx!
I have the same problem, Its the sound card in your computer. Yahoo chat does not like High Definition audio sound cards. I had to go out and buy a USB head set. If you get a USB head set it does not use your sound card.

it would still use your sound card.

Really ?
I find that statement astonishing, and I’m not inclined to believe it!
Can anyone else confirm or deny this ?
Buy a sound card with High Definition and try it.

They still do (though I’m not sure if they’re now age-restricted?).
In YM, click Messenger, Yahoo Chat, Join a Room – then choose a room, wait a few moments and you should be in it. (Works for me anyway, not that I use such public garbageholes 😉 )

Make sure you are on a US based Messenger as UK based messenger do not have a chat option.
