yahoo messenger "voice" error

[alder343]

Have windows XP pro.
recently installed yahoo messenger, logitech quickpro 4000 camera.
Using logitech mic and a headset for hearing as i get extreme feedback using desk to speakers.
When communicating with grandaughter in Denver (i'm in Calif)
They can hear and see me fine.
I can see them fine but every time I try to talk i get the yahoo error screen "Trouble communicatingwith voice server. Attempting to recover"
I've uninstalled and reinstalled yahoos latest version of messenger, no help.
I have Mcafee online virus scan and personal firewall i've disabled both and still no help.
Any suggestions ?
I'm tried Yahoo but no solution to date.
Please email me if you would.
Bob

Did you ever get this problem resolved? If so, I would appreciate any information about how you did it. I am having the same problem and can't figure out how to resolve it. Thanks.

I haven't used my Yahoo Messenger for oveer 6 months as I'm now in Washington state and no need for it.
However if I remember corectly the problem turned out to be quite simple.
Check the type of male plug you're using to plug into your compter.
My problem I was using a splitter on the back of my PC which was a triple plug. (video and audio),(3 terminals, a ground, audio and video) the female plug from my PC was either audio or video.
Changing to right plug solved the problem.
Hope this helps.
