Ventrilo and wine

[qwew]

I've been trying to get Ventrilo to work, but I can't seem to get past the problem with the codecs. I've downloaded the .acm file that is needed, put it in the right directory and edited the system.ini file to include it, but Vent still tells me it's unable to initialise the GSM codec.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong here?

I just installed ubuntu and im trying to get ventrilo to work. I dont want to set up a server I just want to connect to one. Do I still need to do all those steps with re-naming things?

i would use team spek but it's kinfa hard to convince 150 othe people to use it was well just cuz i use linux

Well it seems that I was not only one who had problems with no hotkey working when not playing games in wine.
Well here is program to provide workaround for this. Basically it listens keypresses from event device and sends them to Ventrilo's window.
You can get it from http://np1.pp.fi/ventriloctrl/
Also remember to check for updates :-)

Edit: Ouh btw its source code so you need gcc etc.

Edit2: btw here is script to install Ventrilo http://kanava.org/~hifi/linuxventrilo.sh


P.S. I still have problem with hearing only 1 speaker at time even with hardware mixing or other ppl muted, I wonder if there is a solution..

i tried the linuxventrilo.sh but doesn't work...

pasquale@pasquale-desktop:~$ cd Desktop/
pasquale@pasquale-desktop:~/Desktop$ chmod 755 linuxventrilo.sh 
pasquale@pasquale-desktop:~/Desktop$ ./linuxventrilo.sh 
./linuxventrilo.sh: 9: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
pasquale@pasquale-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo chmod 755 linuxventrilo.sh 
pasquale@pasquale-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo ./linuxventrilo.sh 
./linuxventrilo.sh: 9: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
pasquale@pasquale-desktop:~/Desktop$

what is the problem? why doesn't work?

Here's a wild guess, but maybe there's a misplaced "(" on the ninth line of the script?

Dude this is the SHIIT :) tnx alot it works perfectly with my sb live 5.1 digital (SB0220) card with hardware mixing.
Can't wait for you to add mouse support tho :) Been using 4 years mouse middle button for talk button. Any info or news when it's gonna happen? a month, two, a year?

i tried this, but when i go to setup under ventrilo i get a


"wavOutGetDevCaps failed." and then my mouse starts freaking out and i cant do anything, any reason why that would happen? But it does open setup, and i can join servers and i have sound... i just want to be able to change my setup and my push to talk
