Memberi have a new sony computer. i use windows xp. when i am in chat room i hear voices only for a few seconds when i first get there. i can use mic and be heard well and if using mic i usually can hear back if i talk alot (but not always the case). i have done wizard testing and all the tests are just great results. if i press the voice engage i will hear voices again for few seconds. this can also happen if i press hands free for a few seconds i hear voice. i have no problems with speakers otherwise. i have had the pleasure of 3 visits to room where i hear everything:cool: – good fun! but i know people are getting annoyed because i dont answer when i dont hear. i am getting extremly tired of pressing and un pressing voice activation box -can any one help??? i would totally appreciate it.

KeymasterPlease let us know what kind of chat room you’re talking about… Yahoo? MSN? AIM? Give us a hint! 😉

MemberYou may be experiencing problems with connecting to (or staying connected to) the yahoo voice chat server. I think the latest version of YTunnel pro addresses that issue.

Memberthanks for reply- i have looked alot for the y tunnel pro and have found lots of info except how to get it. all direct pages tell me it is unavailable. any suggestions?

MemberAre you meaning the free version of ytunnel? If so its not available yet, just the pay version is. *sigh* If you had the old free version you can trick it to work til they get the new free version out for us to download. Set your date back a year on your PC and it tricks the old free version of ytunnel, it doesn’t know its time to expire.
As for your sound troubles in yahoo chat, some versions of messenger gave some people sound problems. Try grabbing an older version of yahoo messenger. I use 5,5,0 1244 works great for me and the newer versions gave me grief. A good site to try is http://www.oldversion.com Tho I like the FREECREED site cuz you can get different versions of 5.5 {ie} I use version 1244 of 5.5

Member🙂 thanks for the reply! as far a the ytunnel goes i really do not think thats the problem. i am not getting booted. i am running the 5,5,0,1250 version of yahoo messenger. i looked up the old version of yahoo messenger and found a few available. yahoo3.0-yahoo3.5-yahoo4.1-yahoo5.0. which of these do you reccommend i try? i have since i first put my problem up downloaded existing yahoo threw it away and re started completely (2 times with no luck). i also have redone all of yahoos testing i can find and i have had a friend who knows computers much more then me try to fiddle around. But alas no luck yet!! thankyou so much for this opportunity of getting help when i so badly want it! also do i need to unload existing yahoo to use the older version??:)

[…] i am running the 5,5,0,1250 version of yahoo messenger.Then probably that’s the source of your problems ! I’ve read many comments about the Y!M version 5,5,0,1250 being full of bugs !
Do as Snuggleupagainst suggested you. Use one of the previous versions. If your search well you’ll find the right one (This link for example, points to version 1244… on Yahoo! official servers !)

Memberawww shucks – i tried new version 1244 of the 5.5 -no luck -no changes- anyone have new suggestion?

MemberDid you try running the audio set up wizard under the help tab in messenger??? That works sometimes….just a simple suggestion.

MemberYou will get the sound drivers on your motherboard CD called drivers and utilities.Check it out.
