sound feedback (lol, ok,people talking)

redderk · 12-25-2008, 11:00 PM

Allright , this is my second post, and it's gonna sound (no pun intended) a little screwy, well maybe off the wall, or maybe I'm just nuts. Here is my question...
Is it possible, through a wired ethernet broadband cable connection, with yahoo instant messenger on,(?) ,that I might (just might), be able to hear the person on the other end that I just texted, talking very faintly ,through/on my pc? Even if they haven't texted me back yet? Both end would have microphones and speakers of course..Is there any way possible ??!!!! Am I just crazy or what, but I swear I can hear very faint voices with yahoo and the above conditions. Also , the other end,(the one I send the text to), may have a dial up or DSL connection. Is there software that could enable this somehow?
Ok, I threw it out there. I'm still reading ..and again, Hardware Secrets Rocks! keep up the great work, I'm still learning.
thanks ,redderk

Yes, it is possible, because IM programs (Yahoo, Windows Live, Skype, etc) can be also used for "real" conversation, i.e. using microphones and speakers.

Cheers,
Gabriel.
