Voice chat not working?

Hello all, I am pretty new to Roll20 and the wonders of voice chat, but... We are preparing for a game later today and a lot of voice chat issues are plaguing us at the moment. Some times our mics work just fine... and then they suddenly stop working for no apparent reason. This is using the ToxBox plugin, as I am not sure all people have chrome or not. I use chrome just for Roll20 because the journal editing is a little easier than in firefox, but that is another issue entirely. We have skype and potentially Google Hangouts as a backup, but I'm sure Roll20 and their development community would appreciate some way to make this work without resorting to those... Anyone out there experience this and squash it?
Sadly the best bet is to use actual google hangout. The voice chat and cams are far more reliable than tokbox. Skype, vent, teamspeak, and other third party chat programs are also an option.

Many people have issues with Tokbox but because it is a third party program there is not much we can do about it. WebRTC is the hopeful replacement but until WebRTC is fully implemented by the various browsers many people use other programs for their A/V needs. I personally use Skype for voice only and it works fine. :) - Gauss
