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

Following is a quick image-based guide to get yourself connected to the server.

After entering your name, press "OK." once more to exit the "Setup User" window.

Back at the main window, click on the arrow next to "Server."

Click on the "New" button.
