chibiusa Ling Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Me and my friends and even others I have spoken to can not connect to voice and haven't been able to pretty much since last night. Anyone know anything?. Theres nothing listed on the SL status page about the voice service being down but there seems to definitely be some kind of issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Jurassic Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Ah ! I almost thought it was me ! Been into the grid and saw nothing too. Maybe linked to the update of vivox ? I hope it will be resolved soon... 😫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 There is a voice outage on all the grid at the moment affecting the majority of people. This time it's caused by a vivox DNS outage & should be fixed in less then 24hrs. Firestorm support got hold of a Linden this morning who explained its due to the TTL and polluted DNS cache on the systems in between which neither LL nor vivox control. I'm not sure why there is no grid status update yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightsPet Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I noticed this problem new years Eve. I had voice up til noon sl time then my voice went completely out. But I notice if I go on a hot spot off my phone sometimes my voice is there sometimes its not. So I am really lost is it my internet or is it SL. My voice sitll has not come back after three days. Anyone else still not have voice optiions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz Linden Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Check what your system sees as the IP address for www.bhr.vivox.com (that's the voice service for the main grid). In a terminal window, type: nslookup www.bhr.vivox.com The correct answer is 74.201.103.238 If you do not get that answer, it means that your system is trying to contact the wrong service. Rebooting your system may fix it; if not, it should correct itself eventually (the actual problem has already been fixed, but some DNS servers are incorrectly still giving out old addresses or otherwise failing to provide the correct one above). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Jurassic Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks for your answer ! Of course I don't have 74.201.103.238 as answer but 208.91.197.27... How can we change that, exactly ? 😨 What do you mean by "rebooting your system" ? And if it should correct itself eventually, how long will it take ? 😵 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxy Littlepaws Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The odd thing for me is that it works fine in Voice Echo Canyon and I hear myself via Voice, yet when I go elsewhere, it looks like it's working but I really can't hear a thing anyone else says. This is what I get when I do the nslookup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never have voice on unless I'm exploring with friends (and even then we almost always use Discord), and of course the day I want to start using it casually is the day it all crashes, augh.

Galaxy Littlepaws Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I finally managed to fix this issue for myself. I'm using Firestorm. I noticed that it was working fine in Catznip, so I took all the voice files in Firestorm's installation folder and put them in a different folder, and then copied over these files from Catznip's installation location. I logged in, and now I can hear people again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by "reboot your system" he meant "restart your computer"... then it didn't work. I already tried that days ago. Weirdly, I logged in SL an hour ago, it worked, then had to restart my computer and now it doesn't work anymore... No wonders people prefer skype or discord now, at least there it always works.
