Talk:Voice recording
Notes on Windows Vista and Linux
The loopback interface is missing in Vista's interface, as the audio stack is now redesigned (probably to discourage people to go through the "analog hole" and record DRM'ed audio).
On my GNU/Linux system (Ubuntu 7.10 with Sigmatel HDA audio and custom ALSA drivers to support it) such loopback interface is also missing (the viewer also crashes at login and ALSA won't work with Second Life, but that's another story), and the Vivox client requires the use of ALSA.
It may possible, however, to build a proxy to sit between the Vivox voice chat client and the Second Life Viewer... but does Vivox output the voice to the client, or does it send to hardware directly? I'm not very sure about this.
