I can hear but cant speak while playing world of warcraft!

Zukurai · 07-15-2008, 11:38 PM

I can hear my friends speak while playing "World of Warcraft" but I can't speak to them while playing "World of Warcraft" but while I'm on just the ventrilo window i can speak and hear normally.. And yes the check boxes mute microphone/bind and mute sound are unchecked. My input and output device are chosen. I appreciate the help! Thank you.

are you using the push to talk button for WoW instead of your bind for vent? i know its sortta dumb but im just making sure since i have done it before

Zukurai · 07-16-2008, 12:26 AM

yeah i use my hotkey button which is delete and it is not used with anything else on world of warcraft. I have been using ventrilo for a a few months and it just now acted up today.

Zukurai · 07-16-2008, 01:31 AM

still having problems i am using the bind key for vent and no one can still here me

This same thing is happening to me on Tuesday out of nowhere. I haven't changed any settings in about a year so it must somehow be related to the new patch...let me know if you figure out a fix please

I'm having the same issue. I am able to use Ventrilo normally with the push-to-talk key, but if World of Warcraft is the active window, Ventrilo will not recognize that I have pressed the push-to-talk key. I can still hear everyone just fine.

I was in a chat room with ten people, and I was the only person with this issue. I believe that I was also the only person with 64-bit Vista. Maybe it's related to that??

Thanks a lot Prog-Rocker - that worked

Do i need to run Ventrilo as an administrator every time for it to work?

Prog-Rocker · 07-16-2008, 01:59 PM

i pretty sure that once you set it that it's permanent. rt-clik the vent icon/properties to see if it's still enabled.

WEVIL · 07-16-2008, 06:21 PM

It is not permanent. You have to right-click ventrilo and go to compatability and set the box at the bottom to run as administrator. Only problem with this is that you have an annoying dialog box pop up every time you run ventrilo if you don't actaully use the REAL administrator account. (The account that is assigned as administrator, actually isn't administrator) If you want to get rid of the annoying dialog boxes that keep asking for allow or continue, theres a bunch of tutorials online
