audio problems with all versions of 6.1

I hate to seem to duplicate old messages that other
people have left and where potential solutions have been
given but I am at my wits end with this problem.

When I have an audio/video conversation with somebody, we
can see each other, I can hear them, BUT they cannot hear
me. My "little green mic bar" doesn't register anything.

Here is what I have tried (found many suggestions here
and elsewhere):

1. Unchecked Qos Packet Scheduler under the properties
of the connection that I am using.

2. Upnp is automatically enabled under My Computer>Manage

3. SSDP Discovery Service is automatically enabled

4. The ICF under advanced settings in network connection
is not checked.

5. I recently uninstalled MSN Messenger 6.1, downloaded
it again, went through the whole installation process.

6. Successfully completed the Audio/Video Device Wizard.

7. Downloaded and replaced various versions of
rtcdll.dll under the system32 folder. I deleted an older
version (as per instructions of another board). When I
reinstalled Messenger, it didn't put a new rtcdll.dll
file there. Hopefully I haven't done anything permanent
here.

8. Even tried Windows Messenger, but it just prompted me
to get the most recent version of MSN Messenger (which I
already had)

Is there anything else I can try? I have a child who is
waiting to see his grandparents. We thought this would
be a good way to communicate. The above suggestions seem
to have helped everyone else.

Maybe I am just missing something very basic. Any
suggestions are welcome.

I am having a similar problem. My audio only works when I disable the
built in Win XP firewall. I have disabled Qos packet scheduler, I
thought I had set UPnP and SDDP to automatic, although I just checked
and they were set to manual but running. I too can complete the
tuning wizard successfully but when I start an audio conversation I do
not get any level indication and the conversation is terminated with
an error message along the lines of "cannot connect to remote
computer". I haven't done anything with "rtcdll.dll".

I don't see any post "only-me", (15/1/2004). I think it's about time
Microsoft produced a guide to set up this killer app, oops I mean
productivity killer app!

It seems there is enough msn audio problem threads to warrant their
own forum!

Regards,
Bradley
