Hi,
I have a potential fix for some of the issues with audio in Ventrilo on the Mac. If you are interested in testing it, please:
) Go to http://dl.codeweavers.com
) Enter access key: coreaudio_test
) Download winecoreaudio.tgz
) If your browser doesn't expand the archive automatically, double-click it to expand it
) Control-click (or right-click) on CrossOver.app and select Show Package Contents
) In the new window, navigate to Contents > SharedSupport > CrossOver > lib > wine
) Renamed the file winecoreaudio.drv.so to something else (like "winecoreaudio.drv.so.backup")
) Move the new winecoreaudio.drv.so from the archive that you downloaded into the "wine" folder
Now see if Ventrilo works better. In particular, you should no longer need to set the Mac device sample rate using Audio MIDI Setup to match what Ventrilo wants. It should work with any sample rate (although it's possible that it will only work when the Mac device rate exceeds the rate that Ventrilo wants). Let me know what you find.
NOTE: this is test software. It may cause problems -- anything from sound completely failing to the inability to launch any Windows programs at all. Only try this if you're comfortable working with untested software. If you need to revert, just trash the new winecoreaudio.drv.so and restore the name of the previous one.
Thanks,
Ken
