+Second Life - Linux Voice Support README
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+WHAT IS IT?
+-=-=-=-=-=-
+
+Linux Voice Support is a new feature in testing which allows users
+of the Linux Second Life client to participate in voice-chat with other
+residents and groups inside Second Life, with an appropriate
+headset/microphone.
+
+Linux Voice Support is currently EXPERIMENTAL and is known to still
+have some compatibility issues.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+* A headset/microphone supported by your chosen version of Linux
+* The ALSA sound system (you probably already have this -
+  i.e. the alsa-base and alsa-utils packages on Ubuntu)
+
+Success with Linux Voice support has been reported on the following
+systems:
+* Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) with Intel HDA audio chipset
+* Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) with Intel ICH5/CMI9761A+ audio chipset
+* Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) with SigmaTel STAC2997 audio chipset
+* Fedora Core 6 with (unknown) audio chipset
+
+Problems with Linux Voice support have been reported on the following
+systems:
+* Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) with Creative EMU10K1 audio chipset
+
+KNOWN PROBLEMS
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+
+* The 'Input Level' meter in the Voice Chat Device Settings dialog
+  does not respond to audio input.
+
+* The Input/Output options in the Voice Chat Device Settings dialog
+  do not list all of the available audio devices, so only the 'default'
+  device may be selected.
+
+TROUBLESHOOTING
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
+
+PROBLEM 1: I don't see a white dot over the head of my avatar or other
+  Voice-using avatars.
+SOLUTION:
+a. Ensure that 'Enable voice chat' is enabled in the Voice Chat
+  preferences window and that you are in a voice-enabled area (you
+  will see a blue headphone icon in the SL menu-bar).
+b. If the above does not help, exit Second Life and ensure that any
+  remaining 'SLVoice' processes (as reported by 'ps', 'top' or similar)
+  are killed.
+
+PROBLEM 2: I have a white dot over my head but I never see (or hear!) anyone
+  except myself listed in the Active Speakers dialog when I'm sure that other
+  residents nearby are active Voice users.
+SOLUTION: This is an incompatibility between the Voice support and your
+  system's audio (ALSA) driver version/configuration.
+a. Back-up and remove your ~/.asoundrc file, re-test.
+b. Check for updates to your kernel, kernel modules and ALSA-related
+  packages using your Linux distribution's package-manager - install these,
+  reboot and re-test.
+c. Update to the latest version of ALSA manually.  For a guide, see the
+  'Update to the Latest Version of ALSA' section of this page:
+  <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto> or the official
+  documentation on the ALSA site: <http://www.alsa-project.org/> - reboot
+  and re-test.
+
+PROBLEM 3: I can hear other people, but they cannot hear me.
+SOLUTION:
+a. Ensure that you have the 'Talk' button activated while you are trying to
+  speak.
+b. Ensure that your microphone jack is inserted into the correct socket of your
+  sound card, where appropriate.
+c. Use your system mixer-setting program or the 'alsamixer' program to ensure
+  that microphone input is set as the active input source and is not muted.
+d. Verify that audio input works in other applications, i.e. Audacity
+
+PROBLEM 4: Other people just hear bursts of loud noise when I speak.
+SOLUTION:
+a. Use your system mixer-setting program or the 'alsamixer' program to ensure
+  that microphone Gain/Boost is not set too high.
+
+FURTHER PROBLEMS?
