I run and test my Opensim 56 region grid on a Windows 7 64 bit machine
and have both Firestorm and Imprudence installed. As it turns out I
have no problems with sound except using a script to upload many 10
second clips in a row to play an entire song on an instrument. As far
as hearing it, I do find it is making sounds lower then usual and they
have to be turned up. While Firestorm's recent viewer/client works
fine, Imprudence don't seem to work properly for me.
To me this is an Imprudence isue, so I stick to Firestorm.
Good luck and hope the team there don't get disapointed and keep up the
good work. Not sure Firestorm with add any form of Grid list editor yet.
InuYasha.

Ok I tested what you've said.. I have the same preferences to both
computers and the result is that I can hear the sounds in laptop with
XP but I still cannot hear the sounds in laptop with Windows 7. Also a
friend of mine tested it to his computer (Windows 7, 64-bit) and he
can't hear any sound. Do you know if it runs to the Windows 7, 64-bit?
Also when I log in, a menu pops up with this "Your system contains a
graphic card that is unknown to us at this time." Do you know if this
is the problem?
Thank you for your useful help!!
Best regards,

Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] A question for the sound
Christina,
You may have several different problems.
First, there is no "standard" volume for uploaded files. I even have
problems with some normal mp3's in iTunes
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.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
(side note - If you ever want to use audacity to make mp3 files, you
also need a separate download it tells you about.)
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.
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.
First test any YouTube video with soft music to be sure your local
machine volume is working properly on both clients.
The Moonlight Sonata is a good test. I like this version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6txOvK-mAk
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.
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.
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.
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.)
Summary:
(1) test to see if you can hear the Moonlight Sonata equally
loud on each computer. If not, investigate and fix
the issues that have nothing to do with your clip or
OpenSim. Don't forget to look for muted output and
unplugged cables.
(2) See if other people can hear your clips in OpenSim. If
they can, and you can't, the problem is not with the
clips but with some other settings on your own preferences.
(3) Confirm you can hear sounds in general and other clips that
other people can hear in OpenSim. If not,
you still have preferences set wrong, probably, on both
computers.
(4) If you and everyone still think your clips are too soft,
try boosting their volume in Audacity and
re-uploading them.
(5) If none of that works, post again here. I'll be curious
to know where the problems were.

Hi,
I would like to inform you that I have a problem with the sound.
We have updated the server to the latest version and I'm running
the OpenSim to 2 laptops (one is XP 32-bit and the other Windows 7
64-bit). In the XP I can only play soundslocally or in world and
not at all in a scipt. From the other laptop I cannot hear at all
the sounds that I have uploaded. I have exactly the same
preferences in Audio and Video. I'm new in OpenSim, so I would
like to ask you what I have to do in order to fix it and hear
properly every sound.
Thank you in advance.
With regards,
Christina
