Push to Talk with Ventrilo

This briefly shows you how to set up ventrilo to use the "Push-to-talk" function. Very simple, very easy.

NOTE here is a short description on how to use ventrilo WITHOUT push to talk. (PTT)
Please be advised, most people hate this and i do not recomend it. (You can make other users want to shoot you!)

ventrilo starts as non-PTT. In the same section as the PTT check box, if you see the thing that became grayed out, go to it.

You adjust how easily it can pick up noise in the room with that set of boxes.
In the same section you can also set it up so vent will only accept a noise / voice every 3 or even 10 seconds apart. (which i find odd as something it can do)

Hey, do you know of a way not to use the push to talk key and just talk manually without pressing a hotkey?

Alright , when i push my hot key my little sound thing turns from red to green and it displays -XMIT- , and i try to talk , but i no sound comes out, im using a microphone thats built into my laptop, can anyone help me out with this?

[therealZargis]

I had this issue originally as well, this means that your microphone settings may not be correct.

Generally, for laptop and other hardware intigrated microphones, you need to do the following: Go to *Setup* Now, look on the right side of the page for INPUT DEVICE.

Click the drop down box and select a "Line In", or possibly an "Array" microphone type.

(Sometimes you must check the boxes also to use 'direct sound')

When I push my key to talk, nothing happens. But my mic works when I go to setup and 'test'.

[RecedingRapid]

yea it works for me but it only works when i have clicked on the ventrilo window, if i have any other windows like WoW clicked on it doesn't work at all so.. what's wrong?! :O
