How To play music in Yahoo Chat Rooms
For windows ME and XP
(windows 98 users bottom comment)
Some 'record control panel' settings may vary with type of soundcard
Note: If you are using a USB Headset,
this will not work because your headset does not use your sound card,
it uses different settings through your usb port!!
If you have a speaker icon next to your
clock, skip the next two screenshots.
If you do not have a speaker:
Click on start... settings...control panel.
In Control Panel, find Sounds & Multimedia
Open it.
At the bottom of the box, (see above)
Put a check in show volume control on the taskbar,
Click Apply, OK, close control panel
You now have a speaker near your clock.
Double Click the speaker next to your clock

This will open your volume control
panel
Click on options ..... properties...
When the box pops up, playback should be highlited.
Check the recording circle and make sure
all the boxes are checked in the lower box,
Click ok
A box should pop up for record control,
and mic volume should be checked already.
Check the box for stereo mix (XP is stereo out)
You may see 'What you Hear' with some sound cards
Choose that if you do!
mic volume should uncheck automatically....
For some reason, on some people's
computers, the microphone stays enabled,
Usually computers that have a digital sound card have this problem.
NOTE: If you have this problem and are using
a headset that has an 'inline' control,
turn your microphone off with the switch you find
there, or unplug your microphone
(a real pain for some) You
may have to read the help file for your digital sound card to remedy this.
Open your music player, ( I use Winamp, but any media player you like
is fine). http://www.winamp.com/download/
(if you want to try winamp)
Adjust the volume of your music to suit yourself. Enable
yaheek Yaheek.zip
(download, (save to desktop) unzip it, open,
read the readme.txt file)
Make sure the 'Hotkey Toggle' button is depressed!!
If you need winzip, get it from: Winzip
8.1(open from location and install)
Then unzip yaheek and open it
Start your song, Lock down your talk button,
and your music will play directly into the chat room or private message
box
directly through your sound card.
IF your sound is too loud, lower the
volume in the record control panel...
(that is what people hear)
You lose your ability to speak if your computer disables your mic, When
you are done, unlock your talk button,
Recheck mic volume in the record control box,
and you're ready to talk again.
(sometimes you may lose the ability to be heard)
IF THIS HAPPENS,
Shut off sound in the room, minimize the room,
maximize it again and re-enable voice.
This SHOULD fix the problem
You can do all of this before
you enter chat, or while you are in chatThe
record box will stay on your screen or enabled on your task bar for easy
access.
Enjoy, but please be considerate of others. Ask
if you can play a song first, because others may not like your particular
style of music,or would just rather not
hear music at all.

Exactly the same process... but:
When you have the Record Control panel in front of you, select the Mixed
Output.
Then play your music.
Remember to re-enable your mic before trying
to talk again !!
