How to change your sound output (HOWTO)

[shidarin]

We all know that as of right now, Ventrilo's Output Selection function is busted.

You could set ALL the sounds on your Mac to go out through the headset- or even your bluetooth cell phone, but the primary point of the headset for vent, speakers for ingame sound is the ease of seperation between the two.

The solution is a now free app by Rogue Amoeba called Detour

After installing, you can easily set up Detour to route the Ventrilo audio to the headset/sound source of your choice.

A warning, Detour uses Application Enchancer, something considered by a few mac users to be the devil. I have never had any problems with AE, but some people have.

Also, it won't run under root- so those of you who have perma root on are out of luck.
