INTRODUCTION

AV Voice Changer Software new version has a virtual audio driver (VCS VAD) which can work as a real audio

driver. The device is detected by all VoIP applications, and instant messenger with voice applications as another

option of audio device. This is also correct with online games which support in-game voice chat. By setting VCS

VAD as the active audio driver for those applications, AV Voice Changer Software will automatically capture and

process audio and voice for voice calls or voice communication (voice chat).

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to use Voice Changer Software 7.0 for voice chat with Second Life voice

client, a very popular online games.

With other games which support in-game voice chat, apply the same procedure to set VCS as your main voice

changing module.

About Second Life:

Second Life is a virtual world developed by Linden Lab that launched on June 23, 2003 and is accessible via the

Internet. A free client program called the Second Life Viewer enables its users, called Residents, to interact

with each other. Residents can explore, meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group

activities, and create and trade virtual property and services with one another, or travel throughout the world.

Residents can start a Basic account for FREE. But for an increased level of technical supports, they have to pay

fees.

Second Life comprises the viewer (also known as the client) executing on the user's personal computer, and

several thousand servers operated by Linden Lab. Linden Lab provides official viewers for Microsoft Windows

2000 / XP, Mac OS X, and most distributions of Linux. For more information about Second Life, visit http://secondlife.com/
