Hey there Thompson, I hope you are doing well!
First off, I agree with Sky on everything, and i'm just here to support!
One thing before you do the following, you said that your mic is gone in game? do you have "sound?"
I would also like to direct you to this LINK. it goes step by step on how to set your vent up to a good degree.
Another thing when setting vent up is putting settings to the following
If you already have Ventrilo installed, it is highly recommended that you enable volume normalization by following the steps below. This will compensate for users with quiet or loud microphones and force them to a normalized volume level.
- Go to Setup
- Enable Direct Sound
- Select the SFX Button
- Select Compressor and click Add.
- Under Compressor Properties use the following settings
- Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. (I use 15)
- Attack = 0.01
- Release = Around 500
- Threshold = Around -30
- Ratio = 100
- Pre delay = 4.0
This will normalize all sound in vent for you
