Use the option ‘Use DirectSound for Input Device’ which will make sure the sound comes out of the output device either speakers or headsets plugged into PC’s soundcard. Also, use the Sensitivity feature to personalize the sound experience by inputting a value for ‘Voice activation parameter’. Don’t set a low value as it will result in high bandwidth consumption as every surrounding noise will pass through Ventrilo which includes your breathing and whispering noises. On the other hand if the value is being set to high, you can scream and enjoy the way you would in a real game. The best way to configure the voice sensitivity is to set an appropriate value level which goes high and low as you speak in the microphone and can be adjusted to a custom level value looking at the monitor or screen. Click on the Test button and speak, look at the monitor to adjust the value, if it’s too high, lower it and speak again until you get to what you want.

Switch the ‘Use Push To Talk’ mode and convert your ventrilo into a working form of game communication which can be used with any key on your keyboard. Make sure you have unchecked the Play Key Clicks to avoid hearing the click noise of ventrilo.

The Priority Class option should be left to high otherwise either party will find a delay in the conversation and even a second delay could lose you the round.
