Ventrilo Server Fixed???, fingers crossed Options

[Druid]

I realize we've had everyone jumping through hoops with the several recent changes on Ventrilo & then switching to Teamspeak.
As big as a pain as this was, unfortunately it was necessary.
The change to our original ventrilo server was to enable MAC users to access it.
After the change, several people had problems of one type or another.

The people who host our ventrilo server has setup a new one to see if that fixes everyone's issues.

The new info is
Hostname : vent3.clanservers.com
Server Port : 4485
Same password as before.

Please let us know if this new server works for you.
If not, we will make a decision to use a ventrilo server hosted elsewhere or switch to Teamspeak permanently.
We will go with whatever option works the the largest majority.

Hi Hellfighter,

Sorry to hear you're having such difficulties with Vent. I've been scouring the net in search of an answer for you but the info out there is vague and elusive, as I'm sure you are aware.

I know you would like screenies or a pic with the "correct" settings and I'm not ignoring that request, I just don't know (1) how to do that, and (2) if a screenshot of my configuration would work for you and your setup.

I do, however, have a suggestion. (I hear ya, "Oh crap, not another suggestion." LOL) It makes sense, and it would be something I would try if I were having these difficulties.

1. Uninstall vent.

2. Uninstall soundcard drivers, sound control softwware.

3. Shut down machine and relocate soundcard to another available slot.

4. Start machine, reload latest drivers for sound card, follow on screen directions, ( re-start, etc.)

5. Install and setup Vent.

The reason to move the sound card is esentially to let the computer "forget it was ever there" and reassign a new IRQ. Perhaps this will resolve any conflicts, even those that are not recorded as conflicts in "System Information". (There are many ways to "skin a cat" as they say. This, however, would be my way of skinning that cat.)

If you have already tried this, please disregard. Otherwise, maybe this will help. Good luck.

Thanks Sabot,
Maybe that sound card switch might work but I can't open things up yet to void my very good warranty[6 more months] and taking it in to get it switched is a bit of a hassle [big actually].

This happens in Cassino too I found out- not just stocks.
Tried PushToTalk - still that shuts down too.
I turned off things running in background like real updater and java updater to see if this'll help next time I'm on.

So once again I make my final appeal.... again---please don't just type out your set-up.
Can someone please do an alt-printkey screenshot of their vent set-up options and post it here so I can more closely scrutinize a working order vent set up?.
