How can I permanently turn off Voice on Messenger?

Disabling all sound from Yahoo Messenger?

  • I want to be able to use Yahoo Messenger while still listening to my MP3s... so I don't want to mute my soundcard or mute wave sounds. I can disable some notification sounds in Yahoo but if I join a chat room, it automatically switched on Voice and I can hear other people talking and stuff. I can turn it off, but then it re-enables itself whenever I change to a different chat room. (Bad user interface btw, ignoring user preferences like that.) How can I just disable all sound in Yahoo Messenger or make it at least so that Voice is disabled by default when I join a chat room? I even resorted to trying to find a dummy windows sound card driver that just tosses away the audio data (as in /dev/null), so that I could tell Yahoo to just output sound to that device in the preferences, but I was never able to find such a driver.

    I actually just came across an utility on the WackyB chat forum that allows you to toggle voice on and off. I hope this helps you.
