Music on Ventrilo?

[Drunkentig3r]

Hi guys, I know that this question has probably been asked to death, but my searches through both Google and the Ventrilo Forum Search feature have both been fruitless. I posted this question on the Ventrilo forums and haven't gotten any helpful responses, so I was hoping you guys might know a bit more about this. I play World of Warcraft, and recently, I went on my friend's guild's Ventrilo channel. A cool feature that I noticed was that they had a special area in their channel where various guild members could DJ-i.e., play music for the people on the channel. I've been interested in setting something similar up on MY guild's ventrilo channel, but so far have not found any set of instructions or guides to help me in my quest. I've tried reading through the setup page and have checked all the stickys, but to no luck. So how do I do it? All I want to do is just be able to play music for other people in the channel, AND also be able to talk on Ventrilo if need be. I would probably set it up to work with my Winamp client.

Here's some info on my rig and setup:

Ventrilo Client Program version 2.3.0
OS: Windows XP SP2
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2.6Ghz
OCZ 1GB (2x512MB) Value Select DDR3200 @ Custom Timings
MSI K8N Neo4/SLI 939 Motherboard
Onboard Creative Soundblaster Live! 24-bit audio
Western Digital 7200RPM ATA 250GB Hard Drive
Plantronics Audio .350 Gaming Headphones (non-USB headset).

If its of any importance, I'm on a fairly fast wireless broadband connection. Thanks in advance.

Under setup, on the voice tab. In the Hardware input change line to wav. then play with your wav settings in windows.

I was wondering this too. But if he changes his hardware input to wav he won't be able to use the same PC for his voice input from the mic though, will he?

Question-do I just have to be in the channel, or do I have to have admin rights or anything like that?

I read somewhere else that setting the line to "What U Hear" lets you both talk and play music at the same time, without any sound interference between the two. Is that true?


Something I've been wondering about, is that if I keep it on this setting, and lets say somebody talks in the same vent channel that I am in, will there be any...I dunno the word for it..."feedback"?

Also, I didn't see any options for "Wav"-I only saw Line-In, Microphone, CD Audio, and What U Hear.
