I am using WLM and when I do an audio and webcam check off line everything seems OK but when on line the incoming speech breaks up badly. Has anyone else had the same problem or have any idea how I might fix it.
OS fully updated XP. Have the same problem using a different webcam.

I am having trouble with the audio on WLM. Break up of incoming speech.
I have done the usual check on the sound system which is ok.  It is when I start using WLM that the trouble starts. I have updated WLM but that makes no difference. Anyone got any ideas what might be wrong???
