Can anyone offer any tips as to how to get in game voice working please?
Using TS3 or Vent I can use the inbuilt mic on my i-mac with no problem but in game although I can hear everyone nothing happens with my voice.
It shows it's using voice capture device as corewineaudio in: 0 with no options on the pulldown menu
I have vol, mic gain, capture threshold all at max and latency at midpoint.
Any help greatly appreciated.......

In my experience LOTRO's use of Game Ranger for voice is pathetic... My kinship (The Old TImers Guild) uses Vent for that reason, and they are mostly all PC players. (The lack of ability to adjust volume or mic sensitivity is one major issue.)
On a "good day" I can hear others with no problems, but my voice is either very "noisy" or, as with you, not at all.
I use an Audio FX Pro 5 USB headset with mic. That setup works fine with Vent, I don't use Team Speak, but my voice input is either garbled or nothing but static when I hit the press to talk key on the keyboard. (I'm running Lion 7.2 on a 27 inch iMac - 2010). Using the iMac mic normally simply results in feedback -- for everyone else!
On occasion, I have found that by re-launching LOTRO with the USB mic selected, things behave differently, but still not correctly.
Sorry I don't have better advice, but it seems that the number of people who use in-game voice are truly "few and far-between"... and those that do prefer Vent. PUGs are the only issue.
Your query prompted me to hunt through the Apple forums....
Here (I think) is the problem, at least in Lion... issues with the audio conversion "stuff"
(discussions in the assorted Final Cut and iMovie forums.)
I'm anything but an expert in this area, but this worked for me.
Go to Utilities/Audion MIDI Setup.app
Pick you audio input source...
.... My USB headset defaults to 44100.0 Hz Format.
This generated incredible noise (and no voice) when using the test function of the native Mac Ventrilo Client
I changed that imput to "48000.0 Hz and BINGO ... no noise and I came through loud and clear!
It appears that this panel has "more" control over the audio than the System Control panel.
