Viewer Bug Reports

Since it was announced that vivox system will be dropped in favor of WebRTC this have been an occuring problem in all of the updated thrid party viewers AND the official LL one. When I launch the SL client the Surround Sound output stops working on any other programs too, causing errors if you try to play videos or sounds in an external brower or player. The Surround Sound program itself keeps running and doesn't chash. To replicate the issue on Windows 10: Have Surround Sound 7.1 ver 1.1.85 running and have Surround Sound 7.1 set as the default output device in the system. Launch the viewer while there's NO other sound playing through this output (Expected: normal launch. Actual: the output/driver breaks) Log in and go to audio output settings (Expected: Being able to change to other working outputs. Actual: viewer's sound is absent no matter what output is chosen until the next successful launch). The crash can be avoided if there's already sound being played through SS 7.1 output upon the viewer's launch. I doubt that it's Razer's fault because in no other circumstance SS ever crashes like this. After the crash happens I have to log out of SL, change the output to any other one, restart SS program and then change the output device back to Surround Sound 7.1

Ever since Second Life Viewer (7.1.9.10495892574) parcel music has been hard to start. It's fairly repeatable but not guaranteed. _Sometimes_ changing regions out and back will fix it. Always relogging will fix it. Coincident with this, application audio capture apps (I use Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack) are no longer able to capture SL audio output. The impact is severe for my DJ work. Both symptoms make it very hard to monitor in-world audio. PS I have the folks at Rogue Amoeba looking into this too, but as they use the new macOS audio capture API the solution is probably in the hands of Linden Lab and/or Apple. I am hoping you can roll back/fix whatever commit broke this.

In the release build of the LL viewer this works fine. This is ONLY in the RC 7.1.9.10326512121 build (and Firestorm 7.1.9.75794 which is based on this RC code) I set voice to input and output using my Plantronics Headset. On the live LL client this works as it should and all other sound is sent to my default device which is my iMac speakers. With the RC client all sound is sent to the default device and it takes input from the default mic on my iMac but there is a very quiet "echo" of this being played on my headset as if it is also trying to use that. This currently renders voice inoperative for me as I am unable to use a headset and it defaulting to use the iMac speakers for output plus the iMac mic for input results in a great deal of background noise in addition to echos caused by feedback.

Music not working when new viewer downloaded. Have had to roll back to previous viewer to hear music streams. The Parcel Streaming Audio is greyed out and everything is enabled. Just no sound :(

I went to a popular dancing place, and i noticed the stream wouldn't start. (it's possible it would refuse non secure (https) streams? but i didn't check the stream url or tried other sims). I might complete this observations after some more tests. Also the performance is much better on this M2 Pro macbook, since the modifications made in llvertexbuffer, and other optimisations.

Sound keeps going off and on and toggling doesn't help. If I TP to another place and back, the sound returns for a while. Seems I'm not the only one having this problem. And since this last update it's worse
