Vista Home SP2 & Ventrilo 3.0.5 -

Installed Ventrilo on Vista. I can hear everyone. The problem is all they hear is my choppy voice. The Setup Test play back is good. Setup Monitor shows good. Can anybody help? Here's my setup.

First time Ventrilo user. Would real like to use the software. It's really important to stop my choppy voice. Can someone help with this problem?

Thank for any help.

first suggest setting the outbound amplifier=0. between that and the line volume maxed out the signal is being over-driven.

if you need more mic volume then try enabling 'mic boost' in the realtek audio manager

Setting the outbound amplifier=0 did not stop the choppiness. Setting amplifier to -10 did not end the problem.

Someone suggested to disable, 'give application exclusive control' under properties for my microphone. In the past, as anyone found this helpful?

Working with the setup in an attempt to make my outbound less choppy. Now, I get is message: "Unable to open the system sound control panel "C:\window\system32\sndvol32.exe" r rc=2."

Uninstalled and reinstalled. Problem continues. Ventrilo uninstall program failed to remove all it setup? Ran a clean up application. Maybe that will remove those Setup files.

Real problem with the full uninstall of Ventrilo. Every after using REVO Uninstaller there are remaining files from the previous installation. Because of these file I can get a clear install. The cause of the bug remains.

[FONT=Verdana]perform a traceroute to the server when it happens and post the results:

start > run[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]cmd {hit enter}[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]tracert serverhostname(found in server setup)

[/FONT]does the vent ping display unusually high numbers when you talk?

can you try using the rear mic jack (also change the input/mixer device in vent setup)

in the realtek audio manager, try disabling all mic effects

is the realtek driver up to date?
