Hey Jonathan, Got a stumper for ya.

Jonathan:

MSN 6 under Win XP.

I have read many threads here to make sure I've already tried everything.
I have read your general answer for audio problems many times. (The one
where you advise them to do the wizard -- Followed by Checking the built in
Firewall, then their personal firewall -- then you tell them about port
forwardings with routers. Followed by unchecking the QoS)

I have tried all of these scenarios many times.
With a router. - no audio.
By removing the router completely and accessing directly. - no audio
By Removing the router and my firewall. - no audio.

The only thing I haven't done is format my entire system to see if it will
work then.

Nothing... and I mean NOTHING is allowing me to talk to my friends out
west. their audio works fine when talking to each other, I'm the odd guy
out. It's been weeks this has been happening and I'm getting pretty
frustrated.

My question is: What does a guy hafta do to make his flippin audio
work?
me.

If none of the solutions work try reverting to MSNmessenger5 or Windows
messenger4.7 , don't forget to uninstall MSNmessenger6 first.
In my case MSN6 audio worked at first but I had to change my connection to
my ISP and audio stopped working. I am now using windows messenger 4.7 and
it works perfectly (I tried MSN 5 it works too).

Greetings Dave,

Although what others have replied in this thread is also valid, have you also tried using
Windows Messenger instead?

Also, if you are using an Intel NIC, you may need to download and run this .reg file
(followed by a reboot), however you may want to make a restore point first (click Start, then
Help & Support, then 'Undo changes to my computer using System Restore', click Create a
restore
point and follow the wizard):
