Playing Music In Ventrilo (With Windows 7/Vista Fix and Bot Tutorial)

BEFORE YOU ASK FOR HELP, READ THE VAC.CHM FILE INCLUDED IN THE DOWNLOAD!

With the help of two other programs, you can play music to others in Ventrilo while speaking to them at the same time. Your music will be very high quality and no other sounds on your computer will be picked up.

IF YOU WANT TO RUN A MUSIC BOT, READ HERE:

Create a Shortcut for Ventrilo, right click it and hit properties. At the end of the "Target" box, add "-m" without the quotes so the shortcut target now reads "C:\Program Files\Ventrilo\Ventrilo.exe" -m
This allows you to open more than one Vent at the same time with the shortcut.
Open two vents.
Configure one the way you'd normally use it, with your microphone as the Input. Make the other Vent (your bot) use VAC's Line 1 for its Input. Configure Winamp as shown in the video. No Audio Repeaters are needed for this setup.
Get both of your Vent clients into the same server and channel. Be sure to check "Mute Sound" on your bot's Vent window. Now when you play music in Winamp, your bot will play it and you can listen through Vent along with your friends.

HERE'S ANOTHER OPTIONAL TUTORIAL TO ALLOW YOU TO PLAY AUDIO FROM OTHER SOURCES:

First you have to open up everything you DO NOT want audio picked up from. Let's say you're going to play some youtube videos to your friends, you'd open Ventrilo, any games you're playing, etc. beforehand, but wait to open Firefox (your source of audio). Then, you want to go to your sound settings like in the video, and under the Playback tab make either Line 1 or Line 2 your default device. Once you open Firefox and start a video, you'll notice you can't hear anything. Your other programs should be sending the audio to your speakers (your old default device). If not, you'll have to manually go into their settings and change their output device to your Speakers. You'll most certainly have to do this with Ventrilo, otherwise your friends will hear themselves. Once you've isolated Firefox within Line 1, you can change your input in Ventrilo to Line 1. This whole tutorial is a little more advanced and would work best with the music bot above, but if you can follow along with this it should give you greater freedom with your audio sources. Just make sure to remember that you changed your default device!


IF YOUR SOUNDS GO AWAY AFTER INSTALLATION OF VAC, READ HERE:

In the package you first downloaded, there is a file called "vac.chm". This is the VAC help file. Open it up and on the left click on "System Preferred Device Issues". Read what's there and do what it says to set your preferred device back to your speakers/headphones/whatever. Basically, if you didn't set your default device before installing VAC, VAC will change the default device to itself. That's why you don't hear anything, nothing is being played through Line 1. I told you to read the manual!


IF YOU ARE HAVING DRIVER INSTALLATION PROBLEMS ON VISTA OR WINDOWS 7, READ HERE:

Install VAC as normal.

http://www.solidfiles.com/d/96f3/

Download that program.
Run it and Enable Test mode.
Restart your PC.
Now run the program again and click Sign A System File.
Enter C:\Windows\System32\drivers\vrtaucbl.sys and hit OK
Driver should now be authorized. Reboot again. VAC Control Panel should work now.

OPTIONAL:
If you want to remove the watermark at the bottom right corner of your PC head to the page below and follow instructions. I did it and it worked perfectly, just need to be patient.

for our input device in say steam or skype you just need to set your microphone to line 1 to play music or somthing?

[Boboboy00]

@MapleCher0s Correct. And send your music to Line 1.

[Taimoorabdullah]

Thanks man!!!

[Boboboy00]

@Taimoorabdullah No problem, thanks for the comment. Glad everything worked out.

[Taurus1591]

Ok i have it working but we keep hearing it say "Trial" every like 5 seconds which is very annoying any idea why and how to fix it from doing that

[Boboboy00]

@Taurus1591 Read the note directly below the download.

You leave too many things out of this video for the computer impaired. Im following up to the audio repeater, however I see the equalizer bars fluctuate, but no sound is heard. Also I have no option to set to my speakers using the Audio repeater.

[Taimoorabdullah]

BTW if it gives error that it cannot change cables then close ur net browser and other things and try to add 2nd cable then :D

I'm not really understanding how to make it a music bot. Specifically the part where you say to open the programs you don't want captured and then chance the volume settings. Changing the default devices makes Chrome and other programs still go through the vent.

So i figured out how to play music through a browser to teamspeak 3, but only those in teamspeak can hear it, but not me.

I changed my playback device to line 1, then changed my output in teamspeak to line 1, and kept the output to speakers. Doesn't echo, but I can't hear what i play.

Is there any way to set this up so I don't hear myself? :)
