Vent is numero uno.

X-fire is not great for talking on. What it excels at is hunting down your clanmates, when they are late for a tournement match.Why is it that they're always playing Spider Solitaire?

lol

I use MSN for RL friends (cos they are too lazy to get teamspeak and xfire). For games I use xfire and Teamspeak.

Monarch, the odd sound from your teammate's mic is probably due to his mic being too close to the speakers or he hadn't adjusted the noise filtering setting for his Vent account. If you go into the "setup" menu (from the Vent chat channel listing menu), on the bottom right of that menu there are 2 sliders. One is for adjusting your outgoing volume, the other one is for filtering out noise.

Tell him to try this, if you haven't already. I was having problems with feedback and adjusting the filterl slider corrected the trouble.

I just used Ventrillo for the first time today. I was having a lot problems getting the mic to to work, until I finally figured out the mic was bad. DOH! I bought a new headset/mic and was good to go.

Though they didn't believe I was who I said I was since they were of the opinion my accent wasn't Kentucky Hillbilly enough. :)
