Hi Christina,<div><br></div><div>I use Imprudence 1.3.x on a Windows 7 64-bit machine and have never had trouble with any sounds playing, so I know that sound _can_ work in that environment. However, I also remember that Imprudence users had reported a variety of audio problems due to different audio drivers, and my guess it that's probably the issue you are facing. If that's the case, the issue isn't with Opensim at all, but rather an issue with the viewer and your specific audio drivers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The first thing I'd suggest is switching to a different viewer to see if the problem persists, something like Firestorm or Teapot, since I think they are using relatively different code bases. If you still can't hear any audio using a different viewer, I'd also check to make sure all of your audio drivers are up to date.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Best of luck and will look forward to hearing how it goes!</div><div><br></div><div>- Chris/Fleep</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Chris M. Collins (SL/OS: Fleep Tuque)</div><div>Center for Simulations & Virtual Environments Research (UCSIM)</div>

for the sound<br></font><br></div>
<div></div>
<div>Christina,<br><br>You may have several different
problems.<br><br>First, there is no "standard" volume for uploaded files.
I even have problems with some normal mp3's in iTunes<br><br> You may need
to increase the volume of your sounds and reload them. Most
people I know use a wonderful free product called Audacity to do that sort of
tweaking. I've had to increase volume of files many times.<br><a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://audacity.sourceforge.net/</a><br><br>(side
note - If you ever want to use audacity to make mp3 files, you also need a
separate download it tells you about.)<br>If you get to that point, it's easy to
use audacity to really boost the volume of your clips and see if that helps.
<br><br>So, one question I'd ask is whether you can hear OTHER sounds, and
whether other people can hear the sounds YOU uploaded. Both of those
tests can help pin down whether the problems are at the server end or the client
end, or both.<br><br>First test any YouTube video with soft music to be sure
your local machine volume is working properly on both clients.<br>The Moonlight
Sonata is a good test. I like this version: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6txOvK-mAk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6txOvK-mAk</a><br><br>It's
remarkably easy to inadvertently alter or even mute the local machine's volume
control. Even when you have it set correctly, ill-behaved
products such as Skype can change your volume and leave it changed when you exit
them.<br>Microsoft operating systems have a number of hidden ways they try to be
"helpful" that interfere with sound in non-obvious ways, both output and
mike-input. <br><br>Make sure you shove EVERY slider on your audio preferences
panel to the far right for testing this sort of thing, to eliminate that as a
confounding problem.<br><br>The script commands PLAY and LOOP, or whatever they
are, both have their own volume option -- make sure it's set to the
maximum. (1.0 ?? I forget right
now.)<br><br>Summary:<br> (1) test to see if
you can hear the Moonlight Sonata equally loud on each computer. If
not, investigate and
fix<br> the
issues that have nothing to do with your clip or OpenSim. Don't forget to
look for muted output
and<br>
unplugged cables.<br><br> (2) See if other
people can hear your clips in OpenSim. If they can, and you can't, the
problem is not with the
<br> clips but
with some other settings on your own
preferences.<br><br> (3) Confirm you can
hear sounds in general and other clips that other people can hear in
OpenSim. If
not,<br> you
still have preferences set wrong, probably, on both
computers.<br><br> (4) If you and everyone
still think your clips are too soft, try boosting their volume in
Audacity and
<br>
re-uploading them. <br><br>
(5) If none of that works, post again here. I'll be curious to
know where the problems were.<br><br><br>On 11/8/12 12:24 AM, xristina volioti
