Description
Closing the audio device picker right after plugging in headphones jams up voice for the session and freezes on log out.
Reproduction steps
- Log into a WebRTC region with the 7.2.3.18810343522 test viewer.
- Press the Speak button.
- Open Preference > Sound & Media > "Voice Input/Output devices"
- Plug in headphones, then unplug them, then close "Voice Input/Output devices" a half-second later, while it's switching over.
Observed: The voice dot over your head may appear to be transmitting continuously, but nobody else can hear you. If you reopen "Voice Input/Output devices", the drop down menus are grayed out. When you log out, the viewer will need to be force quit.
Log: voice jammed - then won't log out SecondLife.log

Note: This scenario is probably rare.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the headphone plug/unplug sequence in the Sound & Media voice device picker and review the linked SecondLife.log while the device is switching. Trace the voice device transition and logout path; done means voice remains usable after closing the picker and logout completes without requiring a force quit.
