Sound Quality

To improve the sound quality one way is to use a headset and not a mic and speakers. This will cut down on the feedback that makes a lot of the buzzing noises.

You have to understand what happens with these programs. When you speak into the mic, your computer has to convert the analog signal to a digital form to send it. This takes some processing power. While the program is doing this, you will notice your hard drive activity light on. So a faster hard drive (or a newly defragged drive) will tend to make it work better.

Since the computer must process the voice and send it, the computer must also receive the digital sound from the other user and convert it back to a sound you can hear. Again that takes processing power.

So Get the fastest computer you can. Get a fast hard drive and keep defragging it. And get a fast internet connection.

All these things will make the converation better.

Ah so you have already tried that stuff.

Here is another thing you can try. It may sound stupid but try it any way.

Once a long time ago I had a sound board that sounded horrible. What I did was move the sound board to another expansion slot so that the sound board was not close to the video card.
