Unable to activate DirectSound for selected device.
DirectSoundCaptureCreate failed. HR=DSERR_NODRIVER. No sound driver is available for use

Have you tried reinstalling your sound drivers?

I have had the same type of issue with vent,my mike would work before I logged into the game but once I was logged in my mike was dead.

I had the mike set for push to talk and it wouldn't key up in game,when I set it to voice activation it would work.

I then went to this site
http://forum.ventrilo.com/

and looked up the issue and found that if I set my talk key to something like capslock vent would see it and this did work.

it does screw up my spamming /C all the time so I have to remember to check if the caps key is on LOL

Mad, are you running Vent with administrator privileges? That should allow it to work with any key

[SgtMAD]

yea I have both PS and vent set to run as admin,I am also running a merc stealth keyboard and I saw on those vent forums where a few ppl had issues with that too.

caplock isnt too bad, i just shout more in chat:groovy:

Interesting, I'd never heard of that problem before ::files it away with other IT brain lint::
