i want talk business wid my friends on msn 7.0

I enjoy reading through this informal place. I will surely visit you again to see if anything new appears on it. Good luck for the future.

i can hear them when we first connect but a few second later i cant hear any thing just hush sounds and sometimes static and on and off voice

everytime i choose to talk with one of my friends that dont live where i live, it starts connecting for like five minutes and then writes "The voice conversation with (the person i want to talk to)
has ended." im so mad, help plz

I recently installed a linksys router befsr41.I could use webcam and transfer files over msn messenger 7 but had no audio.I talked to linksys and they helped me set up all the ports to no avail.they referred me to this url http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=286
once i followed the instructions audio worked fine.It appears the windows xp must be setup using the add remove windows components. good luck

Had the same no audio problem and this guy has posted the solution that helped me. Go through all of these steps and it will probably fix your audio.
