PTT Issues

Madre · 08-16-2009, 11:19 PM

The Problem: Ventrillo only works when it is the active window.

I've got the Universal Access enabled, it works just fine - just not actually in game (WoW), or if it's not the active window on top of the desktop. I've reinstalled, restarted, done everything I can think of and find to make it work.

Ideas??

I am having the exact same issue, works fine when it's the active window, will not work if I have any other window active (like right now none of my buddies can hear me).

Please help!

Try mapping the PTT to the command key on the keyboard.

Same here. Not finding a solution for this. I haven't tried mapping the PTT to the command key because everything else I use on MAC would also use the Command key..

I think the idea for PTT is to map it to a key that is hardly used or would not be used by whatever application you have in the foreground.

Help Documentation states: Use Direct Input to detect Hotkey" enabled if you want to use multiple buttons. However, on the MAC Client I cannot find this option I am supposed to enable. It doesn't exist or I am blind.

Macs don't use DirectInput, thus it's not there.

I was suggesting using the Command Key as a temporary test to see if it made any difference.
