I have a few questions for those who have it working. Does voice work with IMs as well? Can you talk to one specific person and not have anyone else hear it? What is the radius of what you can hear and where on the main grid are you seeing that voice is enabled? Sorry. I was only listening, so I don't know. I heard the talking in the chat. _____________________

If I remember, I was told that it would be a feature for a future release along with Group Voice IM’s, but I wouldn’t expect those soon. DK |

They made changes to the client last night and now the Friends list and the Chat/Speaker window are integrated. Voice radius is much farther than chat, or was until yesterday. I have no speakers at the moment. Voice is not enabled on the main grid. |

Ooops I meant to ask where on the mainland beta grid is voice enabled? Is it every place that Governor Linden owns?

Actually I've already spotted room for improvement with the voice feature:
The need to specifiy which sound device in the computer is to be used for voice. For instance my computer has 3 sound devices: The main one for audio recording, the on-board sound chip for for general system noises and playing CD's and a 3rd device (my headphones) for skype and SL. At present I have to go into my control panel and change the default sound device prior to launching my SL viewer. Even basic little apps such as OddCast (which I use for webcasting my live music performances) allows me to select and specifiy an input device, so it should be a big problem for LL to implement such a feature for voice in SL. Also the main app I use for sound, Cubase 4, allows me to specify (and disable) specific sound input & output devices. _____________________

I'd be in the voice beta now, except it thinks I'm a commie and won't let me look at the official secrets.
