Live messenger

I'm running Vista Home Premium on a dual boot system. I can sign in to
messenger, I can go to tools/Audio and video set up, everything works as it
should with sound and camera but when I contact a buddy I have no audio.
Anyone got any ideas?.

Re: Live messenger

If you are not hearing anything on your end, are you sure that your buddy

If everything is working on your end, then check your buddy's end (or try a
diff buddy).

A few checklist:
- Make sure audio is working on other applications
- Try pumping up to full volume
- if youare using a built in speaker/microphone, try using an external

Re: Live messenger

I've tried several buddies I can hear them, they can't hear me, if I reboot
