Sound, namely music in world.

If I am in a sim and my music suddenly stops being able to be heard by me, how do I make it audible again? I click on the start all/stop all thing to no avail. Thanks.

If you were hearing it fine and it simply stopped, it is possible that the sim is changing the stream or has lost the stream they had set.  To see if it is your client viewer, pop to another sim real quick..  If it is you, possibly a relog will straighten things out.

In preferences you could try to toggle the play streaming music as a way to refresh.

Is the sim divided into separate parcels?

Its possible that you just walked out of the one where the stream was playing & onto one that has no music playing.

[Charolotte Caxton]

That is a true statement, but not what happened/happens to me, but good point nonetheless.

[Charolotte Caxton]

A relog did help. Hoping for a quicker way, but useful info regardless, thank you.

[Charolotte Caxton]

I will try that when/if it happens again, thanks!

When you listen to an audio stream, you're using a fair amount of bandwidth.  If SL needs some of that bandwidth for transferring information between your client and its servers, the audio stream will cut out for a while.  For example, you'll notice that music disappears momentarily when you change outfits, because your client needs to bake the new outfit onto your avatar and then upload the updated graphics files so that they are visible in world.  The same thing will happen sometimes if you have other software (like your e-mail program) demanding bandwidth, or if you are using a wifi connection in a busy public area.

Very interesting information. I usually have SL the website open at the same time as my Viewer.

Hi!  I am a host and have had to stop since having to use Firestorm because my music is not consistent.  It goes off and on and off.  And sometimes I can't even get it to turn on without rebooting.  Obviously I can't host like that.  What the heck do I do now???? 

Thanks in advance!!
