I was able to install it without any problems. I was able to start the
application without any problems. I was also able to configure it and connect to
a Ventrilo server. I was not, on the other hand, able to hear anyone nor could
anyone hear me. I would get the following error message:
Unable to initialize outbound codec (GSM 6.10 - 11025 Hz, 16
bit): Unable to find the specified codec.Looking on the internet for possible solutions to this problem I found this
howto on getting Ventrilo working with wine:
http://home.student.uu.se/e/eran8655/
I followed those directions adding the following two lines to
cxoffice/support/templates/dotwine/fake_windows/Windows/system.ini:
[drivers32]
MSACM.msgsm610=msgsm32.acm
I also downloaded msgsm32.acm from that site and placed it in
cxoffice/lib/wine, this did not work. I than renamed the file to msgsm32.acm.so
and made it executable and readable by all (following the convention of the
other *.acm files in that directory), this did not work either. I stopped at
that point and decided to email support.
Hopefuly you guys can figure this one out.
Another link that may be of use is http://www.ventrilo.com/faq.php where the
question "Q: Unable to initialize the codec. CODE = -1" is relevant to the error
I'm getting.
