click on the setup button on the right side of your ventrilo client. On the white area under hotkey, the default hotkey is left ctrl. if u want to change it, left mouse click on it and press any key u want to set as ur hotkey.
after, check on use direct sound for both input and output devices.
select default directsound device if you don't know what the other stuff means.
Next set up ur outbound and inbound. outbound mean how loud ur mic will be. if u know ur mic is really quiet, put outbound to 10, if u know it's really loud, keep it at 0 or lower it to -1 or -2. (change accounting to how other users hear u). the inbound is how loudly u hear other people. i usually keep that as 0 and turn my own volume up or down accountingly but u can mess around with that if u so wish.
when everything is done click ok.
now u r done with ur basic setup of ventrilo. click connect to connect to the guild ventrilo and enjoy the experience.
