Tutorial: Playing Music Over Ventrillo

[pickles]

NOTE: THIS IS VISTA, I JUST HAVE AN XP SKIN!

EdgeGamers,

This is a tutorial for those of you that would like to play music in the Music section of the EdgeGamers Ventrillo server, but do not know how. Hopefully this will be easy to follow. If you want me to create a custom tutorial for you please PM me by clicking here.

NOTE: This is for Windows Vista only. An XP version will come out later. You cannot do this on a Mac, period.

1. Download the appropriate drivers for you sound card (this will help you, believe me)
2. Right click on the speaker icon in your system tray and select 'Recording Devices'

3. Right click on this box and check 'Show Disabled Devices'

You should now be able to see a device called 'Stereo Mix' or something similar to that.

4. Right click on 'Stereo Mix' and select 'Enable'
5. Right click on your microphone and select 'Disable'

TO

Since you just disabled your microphone, you now cannot use it until you enable it again. This means that you cannot talk while the music is playing and every time you want to play music you have to switch this around.

Thats it! To choose the music you want to play simply just pick the song from you library. The music that you hear is the music that they will hear.

Enjoy!

Or You could always go into the Setup in Vent. Change the input device to "What U Hear" (not everyone will have their option named like that. Mine does because its a creative X-fi card. So look for something similar)

Then under amplifiers you reduce the Outbound till the point the audio sounds good and clean. Ask someone to join you so they can give you a heads up on the sound thru private chat and presto you are done.

Just remember to set it back to normal before you go into a general room.

this applies to Vista and XP. Cant test it on mac but I am sure it works since its thru the actual Ventrillo Program.
