My yahoo messenger voice call pc-pc working but the other side can never hear me! But if I use skype no problem. It used to work but may be because I changed my wireless router to Belkin! But I also turned off Belkin firewall settng... Still same problem. Any idea?

Realteck mic problem

Well, if it's working when you record sound, then there might be settings related problem with the skype or yahoo messenger etc... Let's get started with the "skype" open your skype - sign in - click on "tools" select "options", on the left pane of the options windows, click "audio settings" and now on the right pane, check the "microphone" settings and verify it's set to "Realtek High Definition Audio", if it's not, do so now. click "Save". You can set the volume manually by uncheking the "automatically adjust microphone settings" and turn up the volume slider. Do the same with the yahoo messenger, but you can't set this before you log in. In yahoo messenger you need to go to the "preferences" - "Video and Voice" from the "Messenger" menu. Also make sure, that "digital input or output" isn't selected.
Good luck. Thanks for using FixYa.

When I start chatting on skype at aprox 50 sec my audio stops

This problem is generally due to latency or `lagging'. Or it might be that your pc is receiving data at a faster rate than it can process. It might also be due to your machine's memory getting choked up. Skype uses lots of resources. Try chatting with `yahoo messenger' and see if this problem gets resolved.
