To ChrisKcK & Jameson. I am trying to get you both on my contacts list, I hope you don’t mind the personal approach, It worked with DaveLennon we have had a couple of lengthy two-way audio/visual conversations. Watch out when I am on-line and I will try to help, now that I know the set-up on my computer that works. I have Windows XP, MSN Messenger 6.1 (Version 6.1.0207).
ChrisKcK, provided you are using Windows XP Home you must download the latest version of MSN Messenger 6.1 from the Microsoft website. I would advise you to delete all copies of the offending RTCDLL.DLL file before downloading. My version of this file is 5.1.2600 and it is located in C:4f5a6842124efa4e9.

To Jameson, I hope you get up early or stay late on-line, there must 6 or 7 time zones between us.

Good luck

Ice, requests for personal contact are not permitted here. If Tom wanted to be contacted, he would have entered in his contact information for you to use in his profile. Please keep the questions and answers on the forum so others can learn as well. Thanks.

Tom has been helping ppl who still haven’t had any luck, cos he seems to have got it going and other dont seem to be able to. my request was just to attempt what he has done with 2 others so far, not to find a solution and hold back. geez 🙁

To ICEcubed: I have put you on my AIM Biddies list – we can use it to exchange E-mail addresses then we can experiment with MSN Messenger. I have no objection to such an arrangement it only needs to be short-term.

I had that problem too at first, seemed to solve it by running the audio tuning wizard in msn messenger and then restarting my computer.

open msn messenger
tools>audio video tuning wizard
run through the steps

This situation with Messenger has become REALLY strange……….
Just contact my friend through the system and luckly we could both hear each other with normal voice.
Decided to log off and try again to see if finally the problem had been resolved…….guess what ???????

The “lion roaring voice” was back.

WHAT could be the final solution for this ????

I’m going crazy. My wife video conferences with family in Europe…well, she did until I bought a new computer. Running MSN messenger 6.1, used two different webcams.

We can see/hear them…but they can’t see or hear us. What gives?!??!
Been working on this for weeks. No firewall set up. accessed netmeeting and everything seems to be in order. No routers. just a cable hookup.

Please help? Anyone?

I am running the latest version of 6.1 but still my friends cannot hear me even tho I can hear them. They tell me it is because I am dialup and they are broadband is this true? How can I fix it?

To Skuhn8: Read the other earlier pages on this topic and you will find some advice. Also you can look at the webpage below:

Otherwise you could stick with Netmeeting and ask your contacts to use it.

I meant to post here earlier…thanks to everyone for their tips.

Disabling QoS in the LAN properties did the trick for me!!!

Audio works great! (I’m running MSN 6.0 and the “bad” dll file is still in my system folder)

When I disabled the Qos my sound started to work on Messenger 6.0.

However can not find a way to solve the “lion roaring” sound that my friends here when I speak.

Please , anyone ………….I REALLY need help with this.
Contacted my internet provider ; Dell support and they do not know the answer.

To me this forum seems to be the last resource .

I am trying Net Meeting. I got the IP address from Help. How do I transfer these with MSN Messenger (or is it windows messenger?)
Also NetMeeting cant seem to contact Microsoft Internet Directory, stating that I might be off line.(I am on cable) What do you say please?

Have you tried using a different mic? Do all of your contacts hear the “roaring sound” or just one?

To Goff123: I used MSN Messenger to transfer the IP address by typing it in the message box and sending it. Of course, both you and your contact need to make the connection in MSN Messenger first but, if you recall, both of you will have each other’s e-mail address in order to use MSN Messenger. Only one IP address is needed in Netmeeting, if you send your IP address the other person should start the conversation by typing it in the box adjacent to the telephone symbol and then clicking on that symbol. You will then hear the telephone ringing through your speakers, you then agree to talk. Both MSN Messenger and Netmeeting can be opened at the same time for written messages, but you cannot use the same hardware (video & audio) in both programs at the same time. It is advisable that you set the hardware controls correctly before starting the conversation in Netmeeting. If you have Windows XP it may be necessary to disable the firewall.
