no voice output

[Jonny]

When in Messenger voice communication I can hear the
other party but they can't hear me. I show sound output
and sound input but not received on other end. Sound card
working, I have recorded and played back on sound
recorder, and it sounds OK. Does anyone have any idea as
to where to look for trouble. I have two other computers
on my home network that work fine with Messenger.

Greetings Jonny,

Firstly, make sure both you and your contact have gone through the Audio (and Video) Tuning
Wizard in Messenger. To do so, open the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then
Audio Tuning Wizard, then go through the wizard to select and test your audio/video devices.

Then, both you and your contact should verify that the Windows XP Internet Connection
Firewall isn't on -- click Start, then click the Control Panel. If you're in category view
click Network and Internet connections then click Network Connections. Right click your
network/internet connection, then click Properties. Click the Advanced Tab, and verify that
the Internet Connection Firewall is unchecked. As well, if your contact is using some type
of third-party firewall (ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security, etc.) have them make sure that
Messenger is set to "Permit All", "Allow All" or "Medium" (ZoneAlarm).

If that's not the case, and if you or your contact are using a router (with UPnP support),
you may need to remove the current port forwardings. To do so, click Start, All Programs,
Accessories, Communications, Network Connections. Right-click the "Internet Gateway" (should
be under the Internet Gateway heading) and choose Properties. Choose the Settings button,
click each 'msmsgs' or 'msnmsgr' entry and then choose 'Delete' to each one. Then close
Messenger (right-click the Messenger icon, choose Exit), then restart Messenger.

Finally, you and your contact might try turning off the QoS Packet Scheduler. To do so,
click Start, then click the Control Panel. If you're in category view click Network and
Internet connections then click Network Connections. Right click your network/internet
connection, then click Properties. Uncheck the QoS Packet Scheduler, then reboot and try
again.

I had the same problem for a month and finally got a solution from MSN. I
am using WindowsXP Professional and opening MSN Messenger 6.0.

1. On your Control Panel select Network and Internet Connections.
2. Select Network Connections.
3. Right click on your specific internet connection and select Properties.
4. When the dialog box comes up UNCHECK QoS Packet Scheduler.
5. Close out the dialog box windows normally.
6. Shut down and Restart.

The new setting will take effect and your sound should then be working. It
worked wonders with my computer connection in voice and I have had no
problems with running any of my connections or links.
