Voice chat sometimes randomly does not work.
Sometimes, its a dream, and when it works, it works neat. Twice I have had voice chat fail to work on me though. I tried these steps to get it working during tonights Serco Nationwar group (VC semed to be wroking in the menu, levels roze and dropped as I spoke, so VC was not completely not working):
1) Although the menu was showing my +ptt key set as p, I tried to rebind it to a none used key (P doe ssomething else, I thought it might be a double-bind issue at first)
2) Checked my mic is working within the OS I was using at the time (Windows XP SP3)
3) Restarted VO and deleted my current config.ini letting VO create a new one.
4) Shouted things at VO like, just f'ing work! Frig you, you stupid voice chat! Work now or die! Etc etc.
I also tried without shouting at VO, and also at least one other person in my group had issues enabling voice chat during the weds evening nation war (which started at about 21:00 GMT - Nah it might have started 15 mins late).
[edit]
Voice chat worked fine in Linux, but not in Windows client, And its still not working for me in windows.
Just a heads up, I don't usually use Windows, so would not have noticed this otherwise.

So, immediately after it didn't work in windows, you tried the linux version? It sounds to me that maybe your ISP filtered out the data stream. I'll check it out though.
No, I could not try it straight away, as the nation war was due to begin, and I didn't want to delay it. My ISP is pretty good, and does not filter traffic, not even bit-torrent traffic, so I do not see why they would filter a voice chat data stream. I tried the Linux version about 30 minutes after my initial try in Windows, and it worked, then I went straight back to a Windows client, and it did not work.
There are no errors in my errors.log indicating that voice chat was not working, pressing +ptt did not give me a "speaking" icon in the group list, and turning +ptt off and using auto talk did not work either. If it does turn out to be my ISP I would be very very surprised, as it would make no sense that it works in Linux, and not Doze if they are filtering the data stream.
