hi just wanted to say im having exactly the same problem,
with msn messenger. I can use webcam but when i try
audio the same happens to me!..Now, my friend has other
users with audio and they get along just fine.It seems
its my end the problem lies. BUT, i can use audio on
Yahoo messenger and Windows messenger!!!So that makes me
think the problem lies within MSN, maybe its known to MSN
and they re trying to fix it????
