If you have a gold 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 gold speaker near your clock.
Double Click the gold 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) and 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.
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))
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 chat. The 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.
