[Bug] Alchemy/VIVOX Voice input does not work on macOS

Summary

The Viewer connects to voice/VIVOX, but voice input is not detected. Setting it up in preferences shows no green boxes when testing input volume. Toggling "Speak" does not relay Mic input (no green lines showing up next to the voice dot). Tested this in Echo Canyon with various different input devices. Also tested the same on the official Second Life viewer and it works on that.

Steps to reproduce

Run the viewer on macOS. Can you see a voice dot? Go to "Echo Canyon" and try to talk to yourself. You will not be able to hear yourself.

What is the expected correct behavior?

I would like to be able to talk to myself (lol?). No really, I would like to talk to other people (sometimes, rarely).
