Anyone else have a problem with the Yahoo Chat Software and Vista? I can log into chat, but cannot hear anything in the voice conference. Nor can I use my mic. Was just curious if anyone else had encountered this problem and been able to resolve it.

I'm having the same problem... but no luck resolving it.

Update: Tried joining through the web-based chat... got the following error message:

Voice Error:AcsConnect failure

Anyone have any ideas?

In the next release of vista TMC which is coming out soon should take care of this problem. As i was told by Microsoft.:lol:

Has anyone figured out a solution? I am using Vista RTM Build 6000 and still can not connect to Yahoo's voice chat. I tried a program called YCabby that installs the required dll's for voice chat but still can not connect to it. The error I am getting is "AcsConnect failure:" :mad:

doesnot work for me, i have vista basic.

Ive finally found a way to get sound in Vista on Yahoo Chat. Firstly install the true speech codec as shown on earlier post. Then download Trillion basic 3.1 from

http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/

I have it working on my own Vista home basic and so far 8 out of ten friends have managed to get it to work also. Home this works for you too.
