OK this little problem is driving me a bit nuts. Yahoo! Messenger voice chat does not work. My wife’s computer and my computer are having the same problem. Here’s what I’ve learned so far:
When I click the “TALK” button in the chat window I get the following dialog box, VOICE ERROR “Trouble communicating with the voice server. Attempting to reconnect…” I click on OK and nothing seems to happen.
My system
Dell Dimension 4600 purchased 1/2004
256Mb RAM
40Gb HD
Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio
Windows XP Pro
Logitech Clicksmart 310
Yahoo Messenger v5.6.0.1358My wife’s system
Dell Dimension 2400 purchased 1/2004
128Mb RAM

Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio
Windows XP
Logitech Messenger Camera ???
Yahoo Messenger v5.6.0.1358
(sometimes she can voice chat)Network
-Mototola SurfBoard cable modem
-Linksys BEFSR41 routerNOTE: Yahoo voice chat works great on the kids older computers (on the same network) loaded with Windows 98 and Windows ME!
I’ve done the following:
-Reconfigured the router to open ports 5000-5010 and port 5100 (for Yahoo SuperCAM)
-Turned off the computer’s firewall
-Reinstalled the sound drivers
-Reinstalled Yahoo Messenger
(including deleting the entire Yahoo folder)
-Ran DXDIAG and turned off “Hardware sound acceleration level”, ran the diagnostics and returned the level back to full (it;s been back set to all levels many times during my testing)
-Yahoo! Audio Setup Wizard “Step 4 of 5: Connection” passes, Conference test sounds OK, but if I hold the TEST button down for too long I get what sounds like sleigh bells that fade in and out along with my voice. Before running DXDIAG it used to sound like a lion roaring and I couldn’t hear my voice play back.
-Web cam works fine. Although, I don’t think SuperCam is working, but I haven’t spent much time looking into it.
-Microphone and speakers work great in all other applications that I’ve tried them in.After researching all this for hours, I still do not have voice chat working on the new computers. Voice works great on the kids computers so I know the router and ISP are not involved. Yahoo audio test “connection test” passes on the new computers so I’m pretty sure all the network stuff is good.
I’ve been reading notes on the RTCDLL.DLL file for MSN Messenger, but I’m not sure if they apply to Y!M.
I’m suspecting I have a driver problem of some sort but I don’t know for sure. Any help you can offer would be fantastic.
