i have windows xp Professional computer but when i try to talk to my friends online i could only hear theme ?

What is the model of your laptop?

There are two types of laptops. One with mics built into them. and the other without.

One way to check if your laptop have a built in mic (80% reliable) is to see if you have a built in webcam. The built in webcam is mounted on top of your monitor screen.

If you don't have a webcam, then you don't have a built in mic on your laptop/notebook. Buy one from any computer store and plug it into your microphone port (normally color green) and that should fix your problem.

Why bother attempting to use your XP professional computer when you can talk to your friends using the laptop? A attempt at humor the way your question is written...

What software are you using? Skype, or Pidgin, or Yahoo or MSN messenger to converse with friends?

On the Laptop the speakers and microphone is built in and comes configured from the manufacture. Using the desktop you installed the camera, and my real question does the camera you purchased include a built in speaker? If the cam does not have a microphone you will need to acquire one.

Make sure that your MIC isn't muted under window Volume Control
