what else apart from the dreaded teamspeak?

had enough of poor performance with teamspeak lately with all the crackling and breakups.
is there anything else out there that works as well?
tried xfire, that sounds like someone mixing a record, msn is just pure crap so im lost

well i used TS for almost 6 months every night for 4-6 hrs. it was absolutely fine. did a reinstall of windows and everything, then it was crap. tried doing it all over again installed it all again and it was still poor. ive never been able to get the good performance back and i changed nothing the first time and didnt the 2nd and 3rd either so im clueless.
my mic works fine and soundcard is doing alright too so i dont think its my setup.
