Codec issue: Won't recognize Speex codec!

[Utarius]

Ok, so I'm trying to get vent to work with my WoW guild. I bother the server admin, but he says that the server codec already IS speex. Yet, I get the message:
"Failed to get encoder for specified codec.

This client platform currently supports only the Speex codec. The server and/or channel is configured to use the GSM 6.10' codec."

I've tried to reinstall vent, as well as deleting the preferences map, but nothing works. Can anyone help me out?

are you connecting to a specific channel when logging in?

if yes, then rt-clik that channel name / channel admin / info

in the 'channel specific' codec box does it show GSM ?

[Utarius]

I'm so sorry to have bothered you needlessly. It seems that something describing our codec lied to one of the admins. When another admin tried to change to GSM and then back to Speex, it turned out it'd been GSM all along.

I am having this exact same problem when connecting to my guilds server (WoW) ... what is wrong? I downloaded the newest mac client today.

You need to have the server admin reconfigure the server for Speex and restart the server.

Thank you.

Also, how does my admin do that? He does not know how. lol!

for a hosted server - use their c-panel to change the codec and format then restart the server (Speex (16 KHz, 16 bit, 9 Qlty) 4344 bytes/sec)

for the free server - start/programs/ventsrv/edit INI
codec=3
format=20

save the file
restart the server

well it is a hosted server i believe cause someone pays for it.

this sucks, my admin says when he restarts (he thinks he is restarting it at least he says) that the settings simply revert to GSM etc...

EDIT: Just realized the guy ive been talking to is just logging in as admin but does not have the main server host client/program on his computer. Need to talk to someone else /sigh

typically only the server owner has access to the hosters c-panel

Yeah. I'm gonna link him this website and this thread specifically.

he says when he clicks "ok" everything resets & he does not know how to reboot server.
