ventrilo kills other sound program

98ksxj · 09-02-2009, 09:38 PM

I am running Vista 32bit. It was working fine and now all of a sudden I am not able to have ventrilo connected to a server and hear sound from another program at the same time. I usually use ventrilo with urbanterror and that is how I noticed the problem. But I have tested with mult other programs and online sites with sound and they will not work while connected to a server. The second I disconnect or close ventrilo the sound comes back. I can still use urbanterror with other programs with sound and here both just fine at the same time.
example is
urbanterror & pandora.com

my sound cards are nvidia HDMI audio / realtek high definition audio with a bluetooth hands free audio device.

UAC is turned off already and default audio set and mic levels set.

Thanks in advance.

are you piping all audio to the bluetooth?
and are you using the BT for talking with vent?

98ksxj · 09-16-2009, 04:41 PM

This happens with my onboard output, my usb speakers, or my bluetooth. But yes I am piping all my sounds to one device at a time. I did try to separate it by changing the default sound device before or after opening a program and still did not fix the problem.

I am a computer tech by trade and think I am fairly knowledgeable on these things, but this one really has me stumped...

in vent setup/voice-binds-speech tabs, is the output device name set correctly?

is any of your audio devices setup for 5/7.1

did you try running vent in admin mode?

when the problem went away, were you logging into windows as a different acct name?

in the sounds/playback/speaker properties/advanced tab, try different settings of 'exclusive mode'
