No, this is not a support center, but if you have a technical question regarding hardware, software etc, ask it here. Don't expect working resolutions though ;P

If you would rather be able to talk to trigger your mic, but have a toggle to mute it...
1. In the main ventrilo window, click the right arrow next to the binding pull down. A "Setup Bindings - <useraname>" window will open.
2. Click the "New" Button, then click the Add button. A "Edit Hotkey/Function" window will pop up. Choose the function you wish. in this case "Toggle Mute Microphone"

People too quiet or too loud in vent? Heres the fix!
This was posted ages ago in the Anub'arak section. This will help out ALOT. For those who cant hear ppl to well, or they are too loud. This evens it all out for you!
Too Quiet, Too Loud?
Im going to post this here because I think it's a great feature many of you may not know. My other section reposted this from the Dystopia section. Enjoy, no more setting everyones volume..
Use this if you want sound to stay the same for everyone in vent. This way you dont have to set every single person to keep from blowing out your ear drums or being too soft.
Vent Normalization makes every bodies voice the exact same volume. In essence, you won't blow your ear's out or have difficulty hearing people.
- Go to Setup
- Enable Direct Sound
- Select the SFX Button
- Select Compressor and click Add.
- Under Compressor Properties use the following settings:
- Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be.(I use 15)
- Attack = 0.01
- Release = Around 500
- Threshold = Around -30
- Ratio = 100
- Pre delay = 4.0
Gain
How much volume you feed into the compressor. Not really relevant unless everyone is too quiet, then you can turn this up a little; turning it up too much will sound EXTREMELY *%*%ty.
Attack
How fast volume change will happen. example: setting this to 500 means that anything coming in will only be dropped in volume after a half a second. for vent this should be set as low as possible.
Release
how fast the compressor stops changing things. not really that relevant with vent, setting it around 500 is good for voice material.
Threshold
This sets the point where we actually start changing what's coming in. Whereas 0 is the absolute loudest you can have for an input, -60 is super quiet. Average users will probably come in somewhere around -25 to -15, with the occaisional few being really quiet, which is why I have this set so low.
Ratio
How much any sound below the set threshold gets compressed and/or modified in the volume department.
If you still want to hear SOME volume variation then set this lower (2-4)... the higher you set it the closer in volume everyone will be.
Pre delay
Mostly just deals with processing; with computer and digital processors they can look ahead a few milliseconds to see what needs to be dropped in volume or changed before it actually comes through the speakers. Highest is ideal.
