[marteinn076]

hi i recently installed windows 7 ultimate 64bit , and i use ventrilo 2.1.4 and there is a problem with the sound i randomly stop hearing what people are saying like it is muted or something and when i disconnect i hear everything that was being said while it was muted over a short period of time , it is like when it gets muted every sound gets stacked and when i disconnect all the sound that got stacked up gets played really fast. i have 2 friends with w7 and they go to the same vent as me and they also got this problem. Sorry for my bad english , thanks (when i reconnect everything is normal, but at some random points it happens again so i have to recconect)
