Voice Mentors: Getting Started with Voice/pt
- Note: Please help by translating the remainder of this article — thank you!
Getting Started with Voice
- Connect a microphone or headset to your computer and make sure it works as expected. See this Knowledge Base article for detailed instructions on how to set up your headset or microphone.
- Baixe a versão mais recente.
- Launch the (voice-enabled) Viewer and wait for the login screen to come up. Don't log in just yet. Favor mudar suas configurações. Os passos mais importantes são:
- Enable voice chat: Deixe esta opção marcada
- Use Push-to-Talk: Deixe esta opção marcada
- Push-to-Talk trigger designates a customizable key that triggers (or toggles) your microphone. Press and hold this key whenever you want to talk. To use this key as a toggle, check Push-to-Talk acts as a toggle (leave it unchecked for now). To change the key, click Set Key and then press the desired key or mouse button.
- Push to talk acts as a toggle: Não marque esta opção
- (Os dois primeiros botões devem estar marcados. O terceiro deve estar desmarcado)
- Após fazer estas modificações, quit and re-launch the (voice-enabled) Viewer. If all goes well, you're ready to login. Just walk up to people near you (in a voice-enabled region) and start talking!
I've logged in! Now what?
- Control your microphone/headset
- Você pode transmitir som de maneiras diferentes:
- O botão Talk está localizado na parte inferior da sua tela. Pressione este botão para falar. The button 'glows' yellow when pressed. The small green indicator next to it lights up when you speak into your microphone.
- If you have enabled Push-to-Talk in the Voice Chat preferences, use the appropriate key or mouse button to trigger your microphone. When you press the key/button, the Talk button will 'glow' yellow when the mic is open and the little green indicator will light up when you speak.
- Se você preferir não apertar um botão sempre que quiser falar, você pode acionar o ícone de um cadeado, do lado esquerdo do botão Talk. Clique uma vez para acionar o controle de voz. The button will 'glow' yellow when your mic is switched on. Clique uma segunda vez quando o quiser desabilitar.
- Please Note: Quando você entrar no cliente pela primeira vez, seu microfone estará ligado transmitindo som o tempo todo. This can have two undesirable effects: if you use a loudspeaker-microphone combination instead of a headset, your open mic will create feedback ("echo") in the voice channel; what's more, any ambient sounds near you (radio, tv, other people, street noise) will be broadcast to everyone near you in Second Life. Check the Talk button at the bottom of your screen; if it "glows" yellow, your mic is switched on. Press the button to turn it off. These settings may not be your favorite in the long run but they're more respectful of people around you than the default.
- The Spatial Channel
- The "spatial voice channel" enables you to talk to persons near you (within a radius of about 20m). Other avatars using the spatial voice channel with you have a voice indicator (a green dot) over their heads — or where their heads would be :)
- Group Voice Chat
- (to be added)
- One-to-one Voice Chat

Adjusting your mic level
Now a little fine tuning may be in order. Watch the waves over your head — if you talk at a normal volume they should stay green most of the time. In most cases, it's okay if they turn red once in a while.
It's a good idea to ask people around you if your volume is alright with them. If you're too loud or quiet you'll need to adjust your mic volume. Here are directions for Windows XP:
- Setting the mic volume in Windows XP
- Navigate to Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio Tab
- Click the "Volume..." button under "Voice Recording"
- Adjust the mic's volume slider
- Setting the mic volume in Windows Vista
- Navigate to Control Panel > Sound > Recording Tab
- Select your microphone, then click the "Properties" button and the "Levels" Tab
- Setting the mic volume in Mac OS X
- Navigate to System Preferences > Sound
- The Speakers button

Troubleshooting
Se após seguir estes passos você não conseguir usar o chat via voz, favor visitar o site http://www.testmyvoip.com
Se você não conseguir executar o teste no site acima, você não pode usar o chat via voz em Second Life devido à restrições em seu firewall. Por favor seja paciente, ainda estamos trabalhando para aperfeiçoar esta função.
Whee, now you're talkin!
