@Nebadon - I have but they stated that they don't provide support for OpenSim and suggested that I ask on the list. @InuYasha - After hearing back from the Vivox support rep I didn't get the impression that this was a high level (paid) feature. Its likely just a configurations witch somewhere along the line. @Justin and Toni - I'll have to do some digging around to see if I can find an API reference for Vivox. If its available I'll gladly do some poking around in the module to see if I can add in a configuration flag.

Thanks :)

    Hey, I am happy to be able to use what Vivox gave us.  If we want
    things available to us that vivox allows in SL then we might end
    up paying the huge licencing fee that Vivox requires of SL to get
    those other options.  I for one can't afford a change like that
    for my simple hobby sized grid.


I wouldn't think that is a risk really.

My assumption is that the licensing model that Vivox generously offers to Opensimulator users is based on the business model / type of usage and perhaps for using open source in general -- not mainly about a restricted featureset. I mean the difference is exactly that you have (more of a) hobby grid, whereas something like Linden with SL is a corporation running a commercial service .. not that in SL you can test audio settings which would be crippled with Opensimulator.

And even if there are features they reserve for paying customers, I'd imagine that giving a nice simple way to test voice is not among them but something that is good to have always available to make Vivox usable, is elementary I think that voice settings and quality etc. can be tested.

I guess the case is simply that you need to setup such a service somehow, have the behaviour with the loopback audio implemented .. exactly what Justin was after with setting up channels and wondering about the API they provide.

So I'd also just ask them .. or study the API if they have something suitable.

BTW: thanks for the reminder, I've always really liked the Echo Canyon .. and we currently don't have it implemented with the Mumble plugin that's used with Tundra in realXtend. There is a audio settings wizard GUI which has a local loopback for setting mic level etc. but I think a service for testing the audio over the net, which the Echo Canyon and Skype test call do, would be good too. That voice impl is quite decent nowadays, is good I think that there's also an open source option as well even though Vivox is good and friendly (and with Tundra we don't currently have the option for Vivox anyways, might be interesting if also that integration would exist but AFAIK we'll be just using mumble/murmur .. there's sometimes been talk of Skype etc integrations though as they also have an SDK & API nowadays).

    Interesting. Unfortunately, there's no obvious switch for this in
    the Vivox module currently, let alone something that would be user
    configurable.

    However, I would imagine that this would be the place to turn it
    on, maybe a channel creation parameters in
    VivoxVoiceModule.VivoxTryCreateChannel().  Unfortunately, I don't
    know if there is any public doc for the options that Vivox will
    accept through their API.

        Hi gang,

           I just got voice setup and running with Vivox and had a
        quick question regarding configuration options.  Over in the
        evil alternate universe (SL) there's a region called Voice
        Echo Canyon where users can go to self adjust their own
        viewer voice settings. Mainly, when you speak on mic your
        voice is echoed back to you. Would anyone happen to know if
        there's an option in the Vivox module somewhere to enable a
        similar echo-back for an OpenSim instance?

        Thanks, :)
