Reducing volume of robot voice?

wolfharper · 10-31-2006, 01:30 AM

The robot voice that announces arrivals and departures is MUCH louder than voice chat. . I would like to adjust the volume of the robot voice relative to voices on channel.

No, silencing the robot voice is not what I want

I want to hear about arrivals and departures, just not loudly.

and still the robot voice is too loud

Tried the volume setting at low, high and middle, and seems to have no effect on the loudness of the "Foo has joined the channel" announcements.

Another weird thing was I turned off the ... well, here...

I changed "Users switch channels" from "Text to speech" to "Nothing" and still got it.
"Users connect to server" is set for "custom wave" yet I get the text-to-speech.

odd, I just tested the TTS volume and it works fine.
what is your output device?

Vent setup, voice page, sound output is "Default".

I either use the iMac's built in speakers, or if I expect to be talking I'll plug headphones into the back port of the iMac (to avoid feedback).

I use the internal mic in the iMac.

it should work, not sure what could be the problem.
i'm running a macmini
what version of the client are you running?

mjgraf - I'm running Ventrilo 2.3.2.Prototype.14 (Darwin-powerpc)

DrTheFunk: You just told me how to turn the robot voice OFF. I don't want that. I want it on, just quieter. Though, your packet thing is cool.
