MSN 6.1 audio direct or through server?

[E]

Same issues; at least this week. Video works,but AUDIO
DOES NOT WORK AT ALL ON MSN MESSENGER. Did MSN cut this
off this service? I have checked help files and adjusted
network connections to allow oter users to connect and
disconnect but no change.

I can hear my voice on my speakers but unable to make
voice connections.

Pls. toss any ideas.

Regards. E

Your sound system is misconfigured. You should not hear your own voice.
Click the little sound Icon in your system tray and select
Options/Properties and make sure the Microphone is NOT checked in the
PLAYBACK mode, but IS selected in the RECORDING Mode.
