Problems recieving Voice in Messenger 7.5

[Richardd]

I cannot receive voice communication when using the video connection in
Messenger 7.5. My parents in law can hear and see me fine, but I can only see
them.
They have tested their setup by connecting to their son and that all worked
fine.
When I tried connecting to him, we had the same problem.
It does seem to be a problem with my pc. But all my settings seem ok.
I'm running Win XP pro SP2 with all patches.
I can listen to video online it all works fine, I have no flagged errors in
Device Manager.
Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks

Greetings Richard,

Have you tried using audio on its own without the video?

Thanks for your reply
No, I haven't tried voice, I didn't realise I could.
However some months ago I took part in some Skype testing for my work and
they were successful.
I used a headset with built in mike for that.
Thanks

Hi Jonathan
Have now tried voice communication with strange results.
Using a headset I can hear them and can speak and be heard.
If I use a webcam for Voice, I can speak and be heard, but can't hear them.
The same as using the web cam on Video connections.
However I have discovered that if I start a video conversation and after its
accepted.
I invite them to view web cam, when thats accepted, I invite to receive a
web cam.
After that we can hear and speak together. Although the connection is very
slow and the sounds are disjointed at times.
Very strange.
Any ideas?
Thanks
