 ## Voice
 
-Voice in DiscordPHP has 2 main requirements:
+Voice in DiscordPHP has 3 main requirements:
 
 - FFmpeg
 - DCA (Packaged with DiscordPHP)
+- libsodium-php
 
 ### Encryption
 
-Currently, encryption is only enabled if you have `libsodium` as well as `libsodium-php` installed. If you don't, your audio will be unencrypted.
+Since Discord will be removing `plain` voice at the end of April, DiscordPHP requires libsodium and libsodium-php to be installed to encrypt the audio packets.
 
-Unencrypted audio will be removed in the near future. It will throw an exception if it is not installed.
+#### Mac
+
+1. Get [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/).
+2. Install PHP with Homebrew if you haven't already.
+3. `brew install libsodium`
+4. `brew install homebrew/php/php**-libsodium`
+
+#### Ubuntu
+
+1. `wget https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases/download/1.0.10/libsodium-1.0.10.tar.gz`
+2. `tar -xvzf libsodium-1.0.10.tar.gz && cd libsodium-1.0.10`
+3. `./configure`
+4. `make && sudo make install`
+
+If you have PECL installed:
+
+- `pecl install libsodium`
+
+Otherwise:
+
+1. `wget https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-php/archive/1.0.5.tar.gz`
+2. `tar -xvzf 1.0.5.tar.gz && cd libsodium-php-1.0.5`
+3. `phpize && ./configure`
+4. `make && sudo make install`
+5. `sudo sh -c 'echo "extension="$PWD"/modules/libsodium.so" >> $(php -r "echo php_ini_loaded_file(), PHP_EOL;")'`
