Ventrilo Static

xskyline1x · 07-19-2010, 11:26 PM

Hey Guys,

Ok so when i talk in vent apparently after about 5-10 seconds of speaking my output goes straight to static and other people cant hear me or its just rough to understand. This happens if i talk too long or talk to loudly from the information i have gathered. I have tried reinstalling vent and trying various settings on ventrilo. i have also bought a new mic... none seem to work. Please help...thanks

what version of windows are you running?
what name audio device are you using?

[FONT=Verdana]Audio Driver[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Check the Audio driver to make sure it is up to date. Or try re-installing the current driver.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana](note: some USB Headsets do not require a driver)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana](Don’t assume the driver is up to date as a newer one may have been released since the computer was built)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]- If you have a brand-name PC, like Dell or HP, then check the manufacturers website for driver updates.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]- If you built the PC and use the on-board sound device then check the motherboard manufacturers website for drivers for your model motherboard.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]- If you use a plug-in soundcard, like SoundBlaster, then check that manufacturers website for drivers.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Also check for BIOS and chipset updates[/FONT]

in vent setup, set the outbound amplifier to 0

how does it sound in the vent setup/test function

also test with this:

[FONT=Verdana]Testing the Microphone with Windows[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana](the microphone must work here before it will work with any voice-comm program)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Windows XP[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Control-Panel / Sounds and Audio / Voice Tab / Test Hardware Button[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Windows Vista/Windows 7[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Programs / Accessories / Sound Recorder / create a recording then save it[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Windows Media Player (WMP) / playback recording[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
in the windows recording properties, disable all effects like noise suppression, accoustic cancellation, etc
