Client Requirements
Starting with version 2.1.1 the Ventrilo Windows client
requires that you have DirectX 8.1 or higher installed on
your system.
In order to function properly, the Ventrilo client program
requires a sound card that supports Full-Duplex sound
playback and microphone recording. It also requires a sound
card that is capable of handling multiple sound streams.
Older sound cards like the Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16,
PCI and Vibra series are not capable of this, but the newer
generation of sound cards like Sound Blaster Live and Audigy
are more then sufficient. Other manufacturers sound cards,
such as the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, should also be
compatible.
Please be aware that any number of things can effect proper
operation of a voice communication program, such as the
Operating System, microphone, sound card, sound card drivers
and hardware conflicts. Problems caused by any of these
items can sometimes be diagnosed and resolved but a lot of
them are beyond our control.
CPU utilization is negligible and should not interfere with
day-to-day operations or with games. |
