Our advice is to always use a headset. When this is connected the speakers
of the computer will be turned off and the chat can only be heard on the
headset.
After loggin in it is possible to talk to other avatars through voice.
At the right bottom of the screen you can click on the TALK button
to turn your microhpone on and off.
It is also possible to use the middle mouse button for switching
microphone on and off.
AM I TALKING?
When the microphone is switched on others (that have voice enabled) can
hear you talking in the envorinment. When someone speaks you can see green
audio waves over the head of the avatar.
