Well this recent occurance is only a few days old but it's done this
before
and I've no idea why. Perhaps there's some kind of conflict but I wouldn't
know where to start. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Yahoo messenger
to
see if that helped, it doesn't. I dunno how it gets to working again
either.
I just find it goofy that, as I stated before, when I try placing a call
through yahoo messenger, the audio turns all the way down and the
microphone
is automatically muted all on it's own.

if
you are not familiar with it. By the way, if you haven't done this, I
recommend that you first run full scans with up to date anti virus and
malware (i.e., SpyBot) programs.

I own a LogiTech headset/microphone, you know headphones and microphone
all
in one?
Anyway I use it for voice chat, primarily through Yahoo messenger to
call
up
friends' computers and talk that way. Problem is sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't and I have no idea what causes it not to work.
Somehow
the microphone gets muted and no sound goes through at all. The
headphones
work and I can hear sound (not from another person talking mind you,
just
whatever it is I'm listening to, music, etc.)
Anyway, I'm going through everything I know of before making a call
through
Yahoo messenger to be sure everything's set up like it should. I'm no
expert
or anything (hence why I'm here asking questions) but I run through the
call
set-up on Yahoo and that works as it should, I check the volume
settings
and
everything is unmuted and volume turned up but here's the thing, I had
the
volume setting menu opened up as I tried to make a call using Yahoo
messenger's voice chat and the freaky thing happened was as soon as I
hit
'call' the volume meter automatically turned all the way down and the
microphone setting automatically muted itself and I'm like what the
heck????
I can turn the volume back up and unmute the microphone but if I try to
call
again, the process just repeats itself.
Now I've used my headset before to use voice chat on yahoo messenger so
I
KNOW it works but the other day I turned my computer off and when I
turned
it
back on, that's when the problem occured again (it's done it before by
the
way, not sure how I got it to work previously either then again I'm not
sure
how it gets messed up too.)
I'm at wit's end, I have NO idea why this problem keeps happening or
how I
can correct it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this and why
this
is
happening? Please help.
