I've come to realize that due to recent changes in Vent, they are no longer possible to debug, even when dealing with the problem situation on a badly-functioning vent connection.... (I.e. The person with the problem and I alone in a channel, debugging such problems via chat or "distorted-but-useable" Vent, even after many HOURS trying....)
Changes in Vent, Windows (moving beyond XP), and Realtek's Audio "helper" getting in the way, make it all but impossible to work out.
The best that I can offer is to point to my original thread about these problems, and encourage people to TRY THE CHANGES and TESTS there to find/narrow down the problem. (E.g. if you have NOT successfully recorded your voice and played it back via MS Sound Recorder, you shouldn't even be posting about "Vent" sound problems here yet....
)
Go through the
original Ventrilo Problems thread looking for my posts that start with
YELLOW TEXT until you find one that fits your problem/need and give that a try FIRST. If No-Joy and you've got the patience, keep scanning the thread for more posts starting with
YELLOW TEXT until you give up, or reach the end of the thread.
GL!
