Ventrilo and BF2 issues

[DarkAnviL]

I started on the Ventrilo support forum about this, then to the Creative support forum. Both have alot of people on XFI, Audigy 2-4 series soundcards and others with this same type of problem. Load up BF2 while on Ventrilo and get 2 minutes of laggy game play to a vent crash. Sometimes it will say another program is using the direct input line or ventrilo is sending data to fast and closes. After sorting through dozens of posts about this, everything leads up to the VOIP feature in BF2 is taking the direct input line away from vent and causes vent to crash. So where is the problem? Is it BF2, Ventrilo or Creatives' end where the problem lies? Things I've tryed:

Full reformat of OS

Disc drivers for sound and vid and mobo

Updated drivers for sound and vid and mobo

Seating sound card in a different slot

Every possible BF2 audio options

Every possible Vent settings in voice tab

Tryed messing with priority in Vent, set it to high

Also I've noticed most of the people with the problem are on ASUS motherboards and all are definitly on Creative soundcards in my case Audigy 2 ZS. The ventrilo support tech stated on their forums most of these people are also on dual core processors. Wich i am running one dual core. This has been getting me annoyed as to i cannot find the cure. Plz if anyone has some insight, please let me know. System specs:

ASUS P5WD2 Premium

Radeon 1800xl crossfire

Audigy 2 ZS Sound Blaster

1 gig Corsair XMS led ram

Intel 3.2 dual core Pentium

Anyone with a solution plz post me back

a very frustrated person...

I reccomend your Clan start using Teamspeak, ventrillo causes gayness.

Re: Ventrilo and BF2 issues

Re: Ventrilo and BF2 issues

yea guys, I miss Teamspeak. So much more user friendly, anyway yes I tryed VOIP off and still no luck.

What codec for ventrilo? You mean the test codec? Thats the only codec I know that is changable.

I reccomend your Clan start using Teamspeak, ventrillo causes gayness.

I wish it were that simple, our clan has over 600 people. Im sure they wont switch to TS for just me lol.

Is there anyway I can get some official word on this? I know it's not just me here, theres dozens of frustrared people with this problem. Just check the vent support forums or the creative forums. Bunch of people there troubleshooting this with no real answer yet. Any EA/Dice guys have any advice?
