In Windows, the functionality of extra mouse buttons, like Mouse 4, can sometimes be application-specific. Here are a few ways to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue with your Mouse 4 button not working as expected in Ventrilo:
### Check Mouse Driver and Software:
1. Update Mouse Drivers: Make sure you have the latest drivers for your mouse installed. Visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the most recent driver.
2. Mouse Configuration Software: Some mice come with software that allows you to customize button functions. Check if your mouse software allows you to assign specific functions to Mouse 4.
### Application-Specific Settings:
1. Ventrilo Settings:
- Check Ventrilo settings to ensure that the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key is correctly set to Mouse 4.
- Verify that the Ventrilo application window is focused when you try to use Mouse 4.
2. Game Settings:
- If you are using Ventrilo while playing games, check the in-game settings to see if there are any conflicts with the Mouse 4 button.
### Windows Settings:
1. Control Panel:
- Go to Control Panel -> Mouse and look for any settings related to extra buttons. Some mice allow you to configure extra buttons in this section.
2. Registry Settings:
- Advanced users can modify the Windows Registry to change button priorities, but this should be done cautiously to avoid causing system issues.
3. Key Mapping Software:
- Consider using third-party key mapping software to assign Mouse 4 to specific functions across different applications. This software can help resolve conflicts.
### Additional Suggestions:
With these steps, you can troubleshoot the issue with the Mouse 4 button not working as intended in Ventrilo while using other applications. If the problem persists, further investigation may be needed to identify the root cause.

- Experiment with different USB ports for your mouse, as some ports may have better compatibility.
