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.

Answer:
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. Scroll down on this page to where you read this: Yahoo constantly turns voice back on when changing rooms and un-mutes my sound, how do I stop this? http://www.wackyb.co.nz/Yahoo!_Messenger_version_8_Issues%2C_Tips_%26_Tricks/

Andy has taken the information posted by cchris78 in our forum on how to disable the voice and made a simple utility based on it that lets you easily turn voice on or off in chat for each user."
