What do you mean by recording voice sessions between two people? A voice session which u make with someone or u want to record a session of two person (like hackers) ???
If you want to record your own voice session there are lots of programs for that. If u send me an email, i can tell you how u can find them.

Yes, it's possible, but to get both sides of the conversation you'll need a little 1/8" stereo patch cable (male on both ends). Plug one end into your sound card's "line out" jack. If you don't have a line out jack (I don't), you'll probably also want to get a jack splitter (Radioshack has'em). This let adapter plugs into your "speaker out" jack on your sound card, then you plug your speaker into one jack and the patch cable into the other.

Then plug the other end of the patch cable into your line in jack on your sound card (not your mic jack).

Open up your audio recording software... even Window's own sound recorder will do. Edit the Volume Control properties for recording and make sure Line In is checked.

Once you've done this, you'll probably want to test it a few times to get the levels set correctly and work out any problems, but once you've got everything setup, it should work pretty well. Just hit "record" in sound recorder and it should record whatever would normally be sent to your speakers (the chat, etc.).

any other way? I am sure there should be some other ways. I don't have this kind of cable

Yes! Now there is!

First you'll need audio recording software. I recommend the free, open-source Audacity.

Next, you'll need a nifty little [s]FREE[/s] utility called Virtual Audio Cable. This lets you route the audio from any application (including Yahoo! Messenger) to Audacity for recording.

EDIT: VAC is no longer free. But there is a free trial you can still download.

Look ma! No cables!
