I am trying to do voice. I can talk and hear other person but the audio quality is very poor for both. How can I improve the audio? or is this as good as it gets?

When you do a speed test, what kind of upload speeds do you get?

speedtest.net or many other sites...

I used voice on SL for just about 15 minutes over a year ago. The quality was terrible, I couldn't make out what people where saying, the push to talk wasn't working right for me, back to Vent I went :) Wasn't worth the hassle of trying to make it work lol

I'm not a designer IRL, but I RP one on SL!

That should be more than enough for good quality.

What hardware are you using? Speakers and Mic... or a Good Headset with noise reduction? Invest in a good one if you plan to be using Voice very much..

Is it most likely due to the quality of the hardware I am using?
