SO much grief from SL voice today. I can't hear anyone although we all have voice chat on(white dots) but they can hear me. I logged in and out at least 6 times. What's up with that, any pointers/clues?

Many thanks for any help!

Does it have anything to do with LL? ;)

Did you upgrade your client recently? If so, maybe check all the various voice volume settings in SL - they default to very low settings.

And, a stupid question: can you hear SL music and sounds? Those little earpiece volume wheels on the headset cable can be changed so easily when you run over them with your desk chair!

did you make sure your headphones jack is pushed in all the way?

I can only get voice to work properly if I set my headset & mic as the default audio device for Windoze in the Windoze control panel. Assigning my headset as the default device in the SL viewer preferences widget thingy has never had any effect whatsoever.

SL voice is a mess anyway. I use Skype.

Push it in and out a few times. Tell us what happens.

There's something on the status blog about voice problems.
