Hi all,
I have sound max instead of Sound blaster installed on my dell computer. For some wierd reason even after a couple uninstalls and reinstalls I cannot see the white dots above peoples heads or get thier names in the active chatter box that popups up on the side.
I run the voice wizard over and over nothing happens

Do you think I have some whacky thing in the client tab checked? Maybe its a graphics card setting as to why I cannot see the white dots?
Is ther a direct download or special help page?

I went to help island no one there was able to figuer it out. they said clean cashe uninstall dl the new client next day clean the cashe again

I did all that.. Is there something else I ammissing at atleast be able to hear other when they are chatting even if I cant participate?
Do any other Dell users suffer from not being able to use voice?

I even uninstalled my Skype which worked fine just to make sure there were no conflicts.

I need Help!!

Might get more/better help in . I was gonna suggest fiddling with the Sounds and Audio Devices control panel, but if Skype worked before, I guess that's probably not the problem.

I use a soundmax on my Dell and have no trouble. Silly question, but do you have Voice enabled in the SL prefs? Also, have you made sure you have the latest Soundmax drivers?

Your question was not moved to the technical issues forum, it's still here in Resident Answers. I suggest you repost over there, see if the more techi-wikkie folks that hang there can help.
