Hi everyone,
I’m having a problem with Yahoo version 7.5. When I call a friends pc it rings for 20 seconds then hangs up but I never get an option to leave a voice message. I can get voice messages and listen to them when others leave them for me but I can’t leave them myself. Would anyone know what might be the problem? When they are online we have talked using our mics and that worked just fine.
Thanks for any help.
Hi everyshadeofblue,
I would imagine this is a connection issue as i can’t find any other reason for this happening bar the connection to the voicemail server been blocked/hindered in some form or another.
I would also suggest you update to the latest Build of Yahoo! Messenger which is 8.0.0701
See if you still have the issue and if you do have then try changign your connection settings in your preferences under connection and see if the problem persists, if it is down to just your id been unable to leave them then try and login another of your id’s or make another and try and see if you’re able to with the new one.
Hi Blue, and Welcome to the BigBlueBall 😎
I don’t believe this is any problem at YOUR end, OR anything to do with whoever you happen to be calling, but just indicative of an intermittent problem at YAHOO’s END.
I’ve had that happen at times for months, both back on v7 and more recently on v8, included the current one, 8.0.0.701.
Earlier it would happen on perhaps 10% of my Calls, and simply retrying straight away generally went thru fine – but in the last month or so it happens on maybe 75%, and can take maybe 5 or 10 retries before I get past it.But I’m surprised you say you’ve NEVER got thru to record. Have you tried many many times, and perhaps at different times of day, just in case THAT may make any difference ?
I hope others might post their experiences here too.
Hi,
Dermot, I will get the latest version downloaded and see if I can change the connection settings. I only have one Yahoo ID but will try to figure out how to get another one.
Eagle_Kiwi, Thank you for the welcome. 🙂 I do hope it’s not on my end. I am at a loss when programs don’t work right. I have had Yahoo IM for about a month now and a mic for a week so no, I haven’t tried many times. I will check at least one time a day usually at night and try maybe three times to leave a voice message. I’ll keep trying and at different times of the evening to see if it will work.
Thank you both for helping.

Hi again, Every.
I’m just wondering if you made any progress with your problem here ?(There is now another member here with a similar query, who could perhaps benefit from whatever you found.)
Edit: Just noticed the date on the first post. lol The check for updates link is still good though.

Also if you would like to check for updates to Yahoo Messenger and don’t have Yahoo Messenger 8.1.0.195
[html]http://messenger.yahoo.com/updates.php?intl=us&os=win&ver=[/html]
at the end of the link where it says ver= type the version of Yahoo Messenger you are using.
Example: If you are using Yahoo Messenger 8.0.0.716 the link would look like this

If you have Yahoo Messenger 8.1.0.195 then click Help > Check for Updates
I’m have trouble with my yahoo messenger only in conference. My friends can hear me but i can’t here them unless I have my intervideo progam up and running, then I can hare fine. This only in conference.
Hi Tim, and welcome to the BBB. 🙂
That’s an intriguingly weird problem !
I assume you have no such problem when you use the CALL in YM – or perhaps with any other voice applications ?What sort of firewall do you have (and does – temporarily – running without the firewall improve anything) ?
Also I wonder if there’s some other program you run (probably loading at startup) which changes some setting, which then needs something like intervideo (which I’d never heard of) to change back to “normal” before YM will work fully.
Try removing – temporarily – everything possible from your startup, and see if the problem still exists after a reboot.
Please, do keep us posted, especially if/when you do solve this one !
Sounds like a soundcard issue, from switching from half to full duplex at first read.
Do get any errors about your audio device been used by another application?
you can run tests on your sound card via direct x by going to start then run and tying in dxdiag
May not be the issue but worth running the various tests on sound nonetheless.
i doubt it’s a firewall if the voice packets are been delivered one way and not the other till another video application is started.
But hope you get it sorted.
