I use Yahoo! Messenger Beta 7 and I can't get my mic to work to enable voice chat with friends or in a chat room. A message box appears saying ''Your Computer Does Not Support The Required Audio Compression Format". I found out that this happens because Yahoo! Chat is unable to locate the DSP Group TrueSpeech audio compression (codec) software on my computer. I have downloaded DSP Group TrueSpeech Audio Codec 1.1.1.5 from http://www.codec-dow...o_Codec_1.1.1.5.
I have unzipped the files in "windows/system32" as required, but i still can't see the codec in the audio codecs list and the error is not solved yet.
Anyone who has an answer please post it on this forum.

Are you sure it isn't just because you're using a BETA version? I would try reinstalling the BETA version or just a version before.

Yes, I'm sure. I had the same problem in YM 6. I think i'm missing something in the codec installation.

Could it be your sound drivers? Maybe try reinstalling them.

No, it's not my sound drivers. It's about that codec which is required for voice chat to work.

No need for anyone to come with a brainwave. I've got the solution. Anyway thanks for responding so quickly and trying to help me.
