    Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it

    I have been trying to chat on yahoo with my wife via voice chat, but keep
    getting this error message about audio codec: DSP Group TrueSpeechâ„¢ Audio
    CODEC

    Does anyone know where to go to get it or enable it on Windows Vista?? I
    tried looking for the multi media tab that the suggestion said to do, but it
    is not there.

    RE: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it

    I sure would like to know if they answer you, because Yahoo! says its all
    there fault. End of second paragraph I'm tired of trying to find out the
    answers about yahoo! Chat and, I wish Microsoft would give us the answers
    and fixes so we could use yahoo chat.

    I'm very tired of looking for the answers myself and still seening no answer
    from Microsoft. Yahoo, will not give any technical support for users with
    vista stating it's "audio codec issue".

    It would be nice since we the consumers have bought into Microsoft Vista and
    supported Microsoft's movement in the advancement of technology that they
    could have the common the decency to support us the consumers and help us fix
    the issue with yahoo chat.

    Re: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it

    Hi,

    Yahoo won't support Vista users because they haven't updated their
    application software to be compliant with the operating system
    specifications. That isn't Microsoft's fault, that is the fault of the
    application developers. If they don't support it, you can't expect Microsoft
    to. Microsoft writes the operating system and sets the specifications for
    software development (SDK's). It will also include drivers that are supplied
    to them by device manufacturers where possible. They do not fix problems
    with software that is not written to match the operating system
    specifications, that is up to the software vendor.

    Re: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it

    A while ago, Yahoo announced that they were going to release a Vista version
    and a gadget too. It would appear that they have dropped plans to do either
    for the time being..

    Re: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it

    I don't really have answer to your particular problem,
    and as Mike said, Yahoo has been promising a new
    Vista version for over a year.... still nothing.

    Not many folks seem to know this, but you can add
    Yahoo contacts to WLM... might be something to try.

    Re: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it

    Yahoo can't even get XP compatible messenger to work well, their chat
    servers fall over occasionally, and the 'Captcha' room entry system to
    prevent bots has been breached with OCR software. :-)

    Re: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it


    hey guys. i registered just to give you this piece of information. this
    will make yahoo voice chat work: 'FileForum | Vista Codec Package'
    (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail...e/1159994557/1)

    please spread the word and help others with this info. also note that
    this codec package will enable you to watch all avi, flash, divx, etc.
    so you dont need to download any flash players or divx players or any of
    that crap. enjoy

    also keep in mind that vista is a very well designed operating system
    and theres no need to fill it up with a bunch of crap. all the default
    stuff works great (firewall, spyware remover, etc). just get a nice
    antivirus and youre set.

    This will make Yahoo voice work fine.

    Re: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it

    I downloaded and installed it. Doesn't work. I even have the new Beta that is
    supposed to work with VISTA...don't work. I hate this program, XP was so
    much better. Love it when Yahoo can't tell ya how to fix their stuf and
    Windows can't tell ya how to fix their stuff.....maybe we should all switch
    to MAC or Linux..least their stuff is working.

    Re: Yahoo Voice Chat and the CODEC to run it


    There has to be a simple solution, as I got no problems with the yahoo
    messenger,
    ider the 8.5 or the new 9, Did you go to Calling & devices/ Open the
    call setup assistant?? ad then go Help/ report a problem to yahoo.
    Follow instructions and reboot. Yahoo will then give you an update to
    suit your computers. Some of the updates will come from microsoft. Post
    back if problems persist

    This should be really easy: the DSP TrueSpeech codec doesn't ship with
    Windows Vista. This isn't going to work without requiring a third party
    download. It'd be really easy, I would think, for Yahoo to use a different
    audio codec. Am I missing something? I'm sorry for any run-around you've
    gotten.
