I've noticed that I can't hear any music either on my property or any where else in SL. I've checked my settings in Preferences, de-selected them, saved and re-selected, cleared my cache and still nothing. I had to resort to accessing the music outside of SL on the web.

Any Ideas?

Hi Carolyn, does the streaming music button show as selected when you look in preferences?
Are you getting any sounds at all?

I had the same problem for a week. Tried all the things the OP tried. Was getting ready to ask for help on here, when I realised I'd slid the volume control right down. DOH!!

I'm sure the OP isn't as daft as me though.

Yes.

The streaming button is selected, the slide is set half way for the sound level and I can hear everything, wind, birds, other AV's typing during chat,,, but no music when I have it selected. I tried setting the music icon on and off. rebooted the pc,,, nothing works.

Do others nearby hear it?
Can you hear music anywhere else in-world?
I'm UK but not in-world till much later. A friend knows about streams and things unless someone else can help in meantime Carolyn.

I had a similar problem even though my PC sound was working fine.

It seemed to just be a problem with the net between the stream and my computer. It went away after a while. However if its all music thats somewhat different.

If you have the URL of one of the streams, might be worth testing it manually outside of SL.

I have no problem accessing the same music URL outside of SL. Connecting to it seperatley from SL, I can hear the music perfectly.

Only when I'm in-world I can't hear the music.

Sorry if its teaching you how to suck eggs, but you do have streaming ticked in your Preference "Audio and VIdeo" tab?

Sorry Carolyn, I wasn't clear about hearing music anywhere else. I meant can you hear any other streams in-world? I guess from your test of trying it out-world defeats my reasoning though. Wondered if it was just that one stream.

My stream is running right now and I can hear it, so if you want to test it, feel free to drop me an IM.

This seems to happen to me a lot, too. Sometimes I reboot, (not just relog) and that fixes it. One thing to note is that my ping times are usually abut 1.5 seconds (satellite). I have often wondered if that could be related.

Non SL music streams just fine.

I'll try again next week and see if there's any change. Thanks to everyone who replied for their suggestions and thoughts.
