Voice Chat trouble with SLv2

[Kirk Dartmouth]

I have recently started using SLv2 and have run into a bit of a problem. I cannot get voice to register. My Voice Chat works fine with 1.2x, as well as the Emerald Clones. I have verified that all the listed exe files are running as listed in the Voice FAQ and Technical documentation, tried toggling "Enabled" in the "Sound & Media" tab of the preferences, clearing cache, restarting the viewer and my computer, all to no effect. What am I missing?

okay... first off, I am a blonde, so if i suggest something stupid you tried already, I do because i did that mistake before lol... and I think they are actually not listed in the FAQ

is the microphone working in other applications? you can either try the system tools for trying that, or maybe the test call thing in skype. and yes. I happened to have my microphone turned off and wondered why it didn't work lol

did you select the right device in the input/output devices? while on some system the default system setting works, it is usually safer to select the actual device.

have you made sure the SLVoice Appliction is allowed by your firewall? for me it often gets flagged just as application or as executable, without a "proper" name. and I blocked it.

if you actually see the device settings move very slightly but can't hear a thing, try checkign if the microphone boost is enabled in the driver settings. and while you are there you maybe want to check if stereomix is disabled for the recording section. avoids interference and feedback

and the one thing I almost don't dare to ask, but I have messed it up my self... have you tried to use it in different regions / parcels? might be the one you were in had voice disabled.

feel free to yell at me now

Thank-you, Nya, for your response. I won't yell at you

/me points at the line where he mentions it works fine using Emerald Clones (i.e. Phoenix, Emergence, Emerald).

I also tried in different parcels/regions around the grid. I looked at the device settings, and they are set the same in SLv2 as they are in Phoenix.

 

So, not hardware, not network, not parcel/region. It is specific to SLv2.

This is a TPV right?  I noticed the RLV extensions.  I'd try it with the standard 2.3 released viewer and see how far you get. I have no problems with voice and have used it since the 2.0 beta.

Can I claim a "blonde moment"? The "official" SLv2 worked fine with voice. Time for me to see if the TPV creator has a fix. Sorry to bother everyone.

[Mike Chase]

LOL!  Been there!  Glad it worked out for you.
