Using Second Life....

This past week I had better luck with Second Life than I had the previous week. My sound is working pretty consistently now. I really have no idea what the actual problem was with my sound. I looked at message boards and it seems that I was not alone. Others were looking for the answer to the same problem. I believe that in my case it was some conflict with my machine and the older version of Second Life. I feel this to be the case because as soon as I downloaded the update it worked correctly. I was NOT logged in in basic mode as was suggested by many of the folks trying to help me. Nor was my sound muted or the volume turned down. I have had enough experience with the program to know how to check such issues and the problem seemed to randomly occur. I would log in and the sound would be fine and then after less than 2 or 3 minutes it would just suddenly stop on its own. Anyway the new version seems to be working great. I hope it will continue to do so for the remainder of our class.
