Vent Settings - having problems

[illu]

How do you set up Vent so that other people can only hear your mic and not your ingame sounds as well. Tried for a couple of hours to try and get it to work but it just kept playing the sounds in the background.

Has anyone got a A7N8X-E Deluxe Mobo?
I put on the latest Nforce Audio Drivers and they didn't help.

I turned off all sounds in game except for sound effects on 3, and still people could hear the sounds too loud from the game.

Playing with headphones.

Also changed loads of settings in Vent and the Master Volume Tab with all the levers but nothing seemed to make it better.

Any suggestions?

What would be handy is if people have the same motherboard or if people could just post their vent settings and volume settings.

It seems to work fine from the desktop when I press the button to speak, but once in game it just changes and the sound is too loud and people can hear my footsteps and spells etc.

Any help appreciated.

PS The problems were in all the versions of vent.

Turn the sensitivity down on your mic via your volume settings both on your system and on vent

Start -> Run -> Sndvol32 -> File (or whatever the tab is called, running .SE win XP myself) -> Properties -> Recording -> Click OK -> Make sure the Microphone is selected here.

Atleast i think that this is the problem.

I beg to differ ... typical RvR topic!

Use headphones. Or was it coming through digitially, rather than just picking up the sound on the mic?

If digitally, have you got the right thing in the right hole? Its an embarresing mistake to make that is hard to explain away, but its worth checking.

Voice of experience??

If he's using headphones then he shouldn't be able to hear anything if he's thrust things in the wrong hole. Check Septina's fix, if that's not it the check the actual settings in Vent - though default has never done that for me.

Never heard of it being something like this before on a pc but - check the shielding on the cables if none of the above works, also worth doing if you pick up the local taxi firm. Once had that problem at a gig, nothing better than the next pickup being announced throuugh a Marshall stack.....

Best bet is to drop the mic & get an all in one headset!

Are you using push to talk or voice activation?

Some buttons with push to talk seem to cause strange things to happen. Try changing the button to something else and it might improve.

Seems like your sound is looping internaly (great thing for converting midi to audio but sucks in your case). Go to your soundcard's controls and check it out,

I just seem to remember Maeloch having it in the wrong hole, and getting strange effects until he pulled it out and tried another one.

How well you know him, Crom on vent in days of old was a sight(sound) to behold. Though iirc he used his flirty voice with Caylan once......

Must have been while Mael was having strange effects as he tried all the available holes.

I had the same problem with the same sfx chipset. It has nothing to do with Vent. You need to turn a mix of the sound in your sound control off, the one provided by the drivers/program.

Thanks for all the help and advice.

Eventually it boiled down to Gamecam overwriting settings as you go into the game. Gamecam was set to record sound settings for when I do my SB Movies, so it was set on Stereo Mix and volume 2.

I changed the setting after lots of tries to Microphone 8, and hey presto that got rid of background game sounds.

I still had some annoying noise in the background and unticked Use direct input to detect hotkey and it seems to have done the trick! :>

Played all day yesterday and it really makes the game even better, and it's great to chat to your fellow players
