webcam and sound

I have just begun to use this feature. I am having a problem and wish to know if anyone has run into it and has found the cause.

Once the sound is connected, it works fine. However a short while after that, the person on the other end suddenly cannot hear my sound. I can hear theirs fine. Then it might be where neither of us can hear each other; even though all indications are it is still connected.

Anyone?

I haven't used my webcam for some time, but I remember having similar results.
I think that if there is a dial-up connection involved it even makes it worse.
I decided that it just isn't perfect science yet.
I was using Yahoo Messenger.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Tom Mortensen on 08 November 2003 at 11:20 AM.]</p></FONT>

Ok I found the problem for whatever it's worth. The friend I was Instant messenging with had Zone Alarm. Aparently it did not like the inclusion of sound and/or webcam. Disabling ZA stopped the problem.
