    when you do the msn video and audio setup for the microphone make sure you select web cam sometimes it puts it as the speakers i don't no why thought.

    hi
    yes i noticed that during the setup procedure. Webcam works fine and other party can see me, but no sound either side. Does messenger allow voice transmission when using webcams?
