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 stepsWell, looks like I finally got it working. I just fed up with the damn router and disconnected it, and now it works fine (of course!) 😀
I ended up talking to my father in law online and he also got the same webcam, worked fine with audio as well.
Also later connected with TomHyde (thanks for that) and everything *seems* to be working now… sort of…The latest problem is the audio. Both my fatherinlaw and myself’s audio tends to cut out for a second or two at most, and we don’t know whether it is our microphones (they’re built into the camera just in case you aren’t familiar with the model) or the way we have them configured, or the fact that microsoft actually blows. 😉
Ideas?
NP, check your email. 😀 Just note that this fix did *not* work for my setup so I don’t know what will work for you.
OK… so I’ve been reading through all these forums, and others, and help centers, etc etc etc and somehow I think I’m missing something fairly simple. Here’s the situation and what I’ve tried:
I’ve got:
-Logitech QuickCam Messenger
-Linksys 4 Port Router
-Cable Broadband connection
-Windows XP
-MSN Messenger 6.1
-(latest drivers for everything)What happens:
-No audio from me (won’t connect)
-Quickcam sometimes freezes MSN messenger
-can receive video from others but can’t receive audio from othersI’ve tried:
-using only the drivers for the camera/mike and not the software that came w/ the camera.
-using the full software package
-fixing rtcdll.dll (current version is 5.1.2600.0)
-changin the server in the registry to gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:80
-using a proxy server in MSN Messenger (HTTP, port 80)
-bypassing the router and having a straight-to-cablemodem connection
-opening ports on the router
-using UPnP Port Forwarding on the router as suggested here: http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/mikes/lvideo7.html#msnmess…and I think that about does it. Now, of course the camera itself works fine as well as the built in mike, it’s just the MSN thing. SO, is there something I’m missing or doing wrong? I think I’ve provided all the info needed here but if anyone else has any suggestions, let me know! Or, alternatley, since MSN is such a PITA, another IM client that can *handle* MSN client (i.e. Trillian) but do the audio/video as well.
Cheers,
Jameson
