I have encountered the same problem. Not only is it for voice clips, but for almost all audio/video related activities (start or send webcam, try running the audio/video setup, send a voiceclip) Receiving a voiceclip works fine though.
Try doing any of these, and if its the same result of WLM not responding after running the audio/video setup, you might be in the same boat as me. I have a ticket open with WLM support at Microsoft that has been escalated, but they seem to be taking their time in doing anything.
