I am getting sound about 20% of the time now from SL. Sometimes its on and sometimes its off. Is this a known issue? Is there a way I can fix it?

Running windows Vista

How do you clear settings? Go back to default settings? I did clear my cache.

I had the same problem the first time that I used the 1.20 viewer. For some reason the UI sounds hadn't loaded yet and they didn't load for quite some time. Then I thought that the viewer might be too busy loading something else.

So I first fetched all items in my inventory. Just popup the inventory window and type the letter E in that window, as if you are looking for an item with the letter E in it. Then probably your entire inventory will load. After that I got the UI sounds in 1.20. Strange but true.

open the sound level box and make sure the little mute symbol is'nt on... I did that once.

and check in preferences sounds as well.

I haven't had any issues.


not that you haven't, but sometimes its something you want to hit your head against the wall simple ROFL

Theres a JIRA open atm where moving from .19 too .20 breaks sound on some vista/realtek soundcard driver combos.

Updating too the latest Realtek driver fixed this issue for me and others:

JIRA post: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7519

Realtek site: http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=8&PFid=14&Level=3&Conn=2

Hope this may help :)
