Can't hear anyone in Vent

Sador · 10-28-2009, 11:31 PM

I was using vent normally, and I logged out to go do something. When I came back, everyone can hear me, but I can't hear a word they say. I do however hear the TTS when I log in. I didn't change any settings that I am aware of.

What'd I break?

on vent main window at bottom, is 'mute sound' box checked?

are there any errorr messages in the vent log file? - rt-clik in window/view/log file/scroll to bottom

I have the exact same issue except i can hear people VERY faintly, so i know nothing is muted, but ive turned all my system and vent options to full and still faint. I've been able to fix most of the problems i've had like this before so i'm not sure what it can be now, i turned my speaker sound into my headset and it works fine so thats not it. reinstalled vent and everything, very annoying.

Yes, I just checked it and the "mute sound" had gotten checked somehow.

its not setup for anything but normal speakers, and they are the default sound, nothing has changed, it just stopped working one day, nobody is muted and the mute button isn't checked, but i can hear everyone just barely when they scream at me, ive checked all my sound options and vent's sound options and nothing worked. starting to think its a vent issue.

THIS is the exact same problem i have just got! ive even turned vent volume up 800%! one minute its fine the next its not, 1 person can hear u the other cant, yet no matter wat i do and no matter how many times i follow ur instructions nothing happens!
i purchased this expecting it would run well, all im doing at the moment is not enjoying my investment, and throwing my money away
