Thread: Ventrilo Lagging Audio Issues

Hmm, now that you mention it, this issue happened to me when I was talking to my friend the other day. I thought it was only him lagging, but he insisted that it was me.

I had a feeling it wasn't just me. I tried it on both the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 Beta (and Ventrilo client). Both have yielded the same results. Hopefully Ventrilo will be proactive and release a beta for 7. Thanks for the reply!

Just had this happen to me and checked out this thread. Sad to see there doesn't seem to be any immediate fix.

There actually is a fix. I was able to achieve great communications by choosing SFX settings with your hardware and direct sound and choosing left and right front speaker ( add ). Give it a whirl you will be surprised that it might work.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll try it tonight come raid time. I noticed though that you are running the 32-bit version of Ventrillo - are you doing so with Windows 7? Have you tried the 64 bit of Ventrillo?

I am not running the 64 bit version of ventrilo. I am indeed running windows 7 build 7000. Good luck to you.. I also run ventrilo as compatibility admin. This allows on games like DDO or NWN the ability for it to exist in the background and still run properly. I came across an OPTION on my sound device ( properties ) that enable the application to take full control of the device. I removed that check mark cause I did not want the foreground application ( as I saw it, ddo ) to restrict ventrilo in any way. You might want to look into that on your sound device options and configuration tabs.

Good Luck

Hmmm...the screen print you linked shows the 32 bit version though. Thank you for your responses and help. I'm going to give your suggestion a try tonight.

This seems to be working alright for me.

I'm starting to get annoyed with windows 7 though, initially there weren't many bugs and I figured I could just use it until beta ended or it was released. Sadly though, windows installation issues and the lack of ability to use internet explorer 8 and windows live messenger and stuff are pushing me away from it =(

Sorry, not trying to push off topic.
