Trouble:
Few days back, on my new laptop, I faced problem in yahoo voice chat as the mic was not taking any input. As a result I could not do Voice Chat using Yahoo Messenger.
The microphone not working with yahoo messenger, its a problem with the setup of Mic Input source selection and speaker output selection in most of the cases. In this post we will tell you the solution to this problem.
Fix:
Yahoo Call Setup Wizard
Open Yahoo Messenger Window, goto Actions > Call Setup as seen below:
Now follow the step by step instructions, and select the input and output source from the drop down menu on the setup screen until the microphone and speakers are working properly with this wizard.
If the above method is not working well for you, there is an alternative way for the same settings, see below:
Yahoo Audio Prefernces
Go to yahoo messenger main window , Messenger > Preferences > Calling & Audio
In this setup, select the microphone input from the dropdown, and similarly the speaker settings.
After selecting the proper input and output, the voice char worked just fine with me. Hope it helps you solve your problem.

I am experiencing erratic voice service on Yahoo Messenger lately. Nothing has been changed in my setups and 3 of my computers can’t access the voice server. Everytime I try to call computer… I get a prompt . After a while it will reset and tells me try again and again. It is only happening lately for a week now. Can someone give me some advice to fix it or is it the Yahoo Server Site that is having problems?
Thanks,
Eddie

If your Device is being used by another program…ummm …If you are using one of those free after rebate modems…it may have carpserv.exe it comes with the software. That seems to interfer with voice. But I don’t know how to fix it. Sorry I can’t help more…but i am guessing it is that carpserv and I can’t remember the modem it comes with BUT check to see what programs are running and I think you will see it there. ctrl alt delete.

i have the same problem that posted by samy last feb. 2 2010. what would i gonna do to this problem? please help me. i want to make a voice or video call in yahoo messenger but they cant here me although i can hear the them.
My friend is having problems hearing me when we call each others computer. There’s a lot of static and echos. I had the latest version of Yahoo Messenger, but I switched back to version 9 because I hoped it would kill the audio problems. Now my friend has version 10 and when I call his computer he says he only hears every other word I say. I am so confused why this is happening because we never had a problem until one week ago. Is it us or Yahoo?
@Johanna
yes, this problem might be because of yahoo server problem sometimes, but if this problem is persistent, it might be a hardware problem with your microphone also.
test your mic with sound recorder software, or test it on other applications like gtalk and skype
