JAMESG  It's my duty to tell you all about the downright insulting practices used by this developer.

First and foremost, this app has problems. It will occasionally lose your audio input and output settings so you need to be constantly going back in to reset them.

Secondly and most important, the default codec for the PC version is GSM. This codec is NOT supported in the Mac version! Most PC operators will NOT switch to the Speex codec and as a result Mac users are locked out from using Ventrilo.

I made a very polite, respectful, and rational post in the Ventrilo forums about the situation, and rather than a reasonable response my post was DELETED. This has been happening to many other people as well.

Do yourself a favor and switch to Teamspeex. Maybe if you are lucky, your guild will too and you won't be locked out from communicating.

It's free but it's not worth it.
