Voice default volume

Hi - I am having some difficulty with setting the default volume of others that are talking to me in SL. I have to manually raise each person's volume everytime I change parcel. I have voice volume up to max and my speaker volume is up high as well. Is there some default setting that I am missing? Thanks

I think it may be machine-dependent; I have a laptop that has this same issue, although it's fine with my desktop, and has been fine with other laptops. You might try looking to see if there are any new drivers available for your sound chips ... go directly to the sound card (or motherboard, if it's integrated audio) manufacturer site. (In the case of a laptop, this would be the laptop manufacturer).

The only setting that can help somewhat is switching between the two settings for where to "hear" Voice from ... the camera position or avatar position, in "Voice Chat" Preferences. That way you can move the camera up close to whatever you want to hear. But I bet you knew that already.
