  • Use DirectSound for Output and Input devices to allow you to adjust volume levels for other individuals on Ventrilo. More on that later
  • Enable the Hotkey on the left and in the Hotkey edit field choose a key by clicking one (I like to use the middle mouse button)
  • As most people's individual volume levels need to be boosted, increase Inbound Amplifier to something like 6. The same is true for Outbound Amplfier if everyone has to boost levels to hear you

  • Select Volume and <-Add it and increase the volume. To access it later for adjustment, select Volume under Current and click on Properties. The letter "S" should now appear next to the user's name
