T5026 with Yahoo Messenger: Voice Chat Mixer Error
by mauwong - 5/7/05 8:53 AMI have an emachine (T5026) which has a Realtek soundcard. When I try to enable the Voice Chat in Yahoo Messenger. I get this error message: "Unable to initialize your computer's audio mixer".
I did some troubleshooting such as making sure that the microphone is selected and not muted, I can record my voice and play it. So the speaker and microphone are connected correctly.
I have also tried the Yahoo Audio Setup Wizard. According to that program, my speaker, microphone and connection are okay. But I didn't pass the last test, conference. The error message is Yahoo voice chat error: Mixer Error.
Does anyone who has emachine T5026 encountered the same error? If so, please let me know how it was corrected. I appreciate any help.
I have called E-machine support but they were not able to help me

i have the t5026 but do not use yahoo messenger as i have no webcam and mic so, i'm sorry i cant help u with ur problem.
Try going to Start>Programs>Accessories>entertainment>and sound recorder to see if ur mic is workin.
if it is, probably, yahoo meseenger is screwed up or somethin.
try using skype.
Thank you for your reply but...
by mauwong - 5/10/05 6:32 PM In reply to: re by nerdyboy1234I have tried the sound recorder and my mic is working. I don't think the problem is Yahoo Messenger because I tried MSN Messenger, too and the Voice chat is not working either. Anyway, I've called the e-machine tech support again. The rep said she will sent me a fedex box so I can send it in for repair.
In some other tech discussions I have read, there are a couple with realtek soundcard that were also having the same problem. I was just curious whether other e-machine owner with realtek soundcard is having the same problem. I figured it is better to find out now while the T5026 is still under warranty.

by mauwong - 5/15/05 8:47 AM In reply to: re by nerdyboy1234I did ask e-machine tech support if a more recent driver was available for realtek. E-machine rep claimed that I have the latest driver.
As for what possible repairs the manufacturer can do, I don't have any idea. As long as the Voice Chat works (I hope), they may replace the defective hardware or ship me a new computer.

by ChittyChat - 9/7/06 5:15 AM In reply to: Thank you for your reply but... by mauwongI just purchased a HP Pavilion media center that also has Realtek. I'm having the exact same audio issues in chat rooms and even errors with the Yahoo messenger that the audio mixer can not me initialized. Also, I can no longer play music through my soundcard into a chat room. I have done a lot of research myself and can not figure out the answer since HP support was useless. I was curious if they were able to fix your computer after shipping it back and possibly having some new hardware installed.
