It's live, and its... broken

Voice Chat is now live in SL.

It recognizes the existence of my Logitech USB microphone on my XP-running desktop, but doesn't seem able to use it. I click to test and nothing. Completely dead. I've checked that it's the default input device in control panel, and I know it works because Skype is quite happy with it... but SL doesn't work with it at all.

My bang up to date laptop came with Vista (ugh) - guess what... SL's voice chat doesn't work with that either. I know for a FACT that this works, because Teamspeak - which I use for World of Warcraft - is happy with both systems.

So well done again Linden Labs. You know a feature is live when it's broken.
