Got regular sound but no voice[Ubuntu 64bit]

Hello guys I've filtered through most of the older suggestions to figure out that most of them are really bad suggestions and/or fixes to get sound working. The latest versions of ubunt come tightly connected with pulse audio so removing it for an alternative can be a nightmare for people not so familiar with linux. I have gotten regular sound working in ubuntu 64bit and pulse audio with no choppy, laggy, freezing problems with the newest version of libopenal. It has native support for pulse audio so that means no more crappy alsa plugin bugs. The link to my forum page is: http://www.digitalfiz.com/2009/11/secondlife-and-32bit64bit-ubuntu-and-the-easy-fix-for-no-sound/

If you follow that you will get regular sounds working without a problem. It works for 64bit and 32bit

The problem I am having is I cannot get SLVoice to work for the life of me. It should be using the same libopenal.so.1 as the viewer but it doesn't seem to work. Could anyone shed some light on why this is? is it because its a newer version of openal? If so why is the viewer using it fine but not SLVoice. Is there any kind of output logs I could give to help someone assist me? I have tried the renaming trick that makes it use padsp but still not working.

OK! So just after I posted this I compiled the newest version of libopenal(openal-soft-1.11.753) and it seems that SLVoice is working perfect!

Is there any ubuntu 64bit users out there with sound problems able to test it? Just follow my guide on http://www.digitalfiz.com/2009/11/secondlife-and-32bit64bit-ubuntu-and-the-easy-fix-for-no-sound/ only using openal-soft-1.11.753 not the 622 version and see if it fixes your sound problems. I can reinstall ubuntu in a virtualmachine later but it may be awhile before I have time to test and make sure its working. I think that it would be a good idea for linden to look at including a newer version of libopenal because the newer versions support pulse audio directly which would probably solve most of the ubuntu problems.

Cool.

I will be reinstalling Ubuntu x64 this week to see if this works.

Thanks.

Thanks for your efforts.

Thought I'd give this a try as I'd been trying to get sound working for a few days now. Again!
Im on Kubuntu 9.10/ 32 ... (btw, should have stayed with 8.10. 9.x broke lots of things and pulse audio is a huge PITA)

I managed to get video with sound working, couldn't say how, I just installed everything named gstreamer.
But audio or voice, nah.

However, after dl'ing the openal-soft-1.10.622.tar.bz2, the /build folder is empty and no commands work from the root, like ./configure make or whatever. So thats as far as I got.

You need to follow my guide here http://www.digitalfiz.com/2009/11/secondlife-and-32bit64bit-ubuntu-and-the-easy-fix-for-no-sound/

libopenal uses cmake not configure. Just use my guide but download the newest libopenal not the one in my guide and the steps should all be the same.
