• if you do not have Ventrilo installed yet, go to www.ventrilo.com and download the windows client
• after the client is installed, click this link to connect to our Ventrilo server:  S2D Ventrilo Server
• if this is your first time connecting, create a user name then exit Ventrilo...  the fact that you did not have a user name established interrupted the connection to our server
• click on S2D Ventrilo Server again -- this time you will connect to our server
• enter "setup" and determine if you'd like to press a key to activate your mic or adjust your sensativity level and silence time so that your voice easily activates your mic
• if the speaker icon next to your name on the main Ventrilo window turns green, then your mic is active
• you do not transmit or receive communication while in the "setup" window -- always exit "setup" to test your new settings
• if using voice activation, be sure your speakers are not loud enough to activate your mic -- you only want your voice to activate the mic -- speakers activating the mic will potentially cause feedback for you and echo for the other users
• you may also want to adjust your amplifier settings in the "setup" menu to alter your inbound and outbound volume levels
• if you continually have difficulty setting up voice activation to work efficiently, I strongly suggest you use the "Push-to-Talk" option
