yahoo chat

We usually just use Yahoo Chat for writing messages as you might expect!

But over the weekend we tried the Calling Function which is obviously a good way to caht to my fiancee without the costs of the Calling Cards etc.

However, she could hear me fine but I could not hear her. I have a logitech webcam, she was using an internet cafe headset. Can anyone please suggest any reason as to why I cant hear her?

Check the Volume control on your pc, if its set on mute microphone, that could be it...
Otherwise it could be the cam microphone, to which i would suggest a re-install.
But then again I am a techophobe, so I could be wrong on all counts...
I had bad experience with Mike carrying cams... So I only use creative webcam and separate headset/mike. Might look old fashioned, but it works great.

yes on most pc's the 'microphone\line in' setting is muted on the windows master volume, its muted by default, so not to cause feed back with the speakers.

also use the sound recorder program in windows, to test your mic is working, lets you record sound from your mic, check your mic is working, if this works looks like its setting in your cam software.

what ever software your using , it should have a test function, so you can test the mic and speakers,

if still not working checked you plugged the mic in the right hole

also check the settings in windows sound and audio icon, they are not muted or volume is not too low.
