"Both server and client configuration wasn't very logic to me...Could never remember which of the 8 volume sliders controlled the actual volume."

I was of course talking about ventrilo here, forgot to mention. Sorry. Also for the double post (didn't read and thought my first posting was denied because I didn't enter an email address)

Couple of years ago I needed a voice server for chatting & gaming and I end up with TS just because it was free. Crossplatform was also a big plus, because I have many Linux clients. The installation was very easy, I host TS in Win 2003 among with IIS and MySQL. Its great that both client and server versions of TS are so lightweight.

The only bad thing in TS is that the voice quality is bad ONLY when playing music. The quality of normal speaking is great with 16kb Speex that takes almost none of your bandwidth. So my voice goes to Teamspeak.

Most of my experience has been with TS. I play an MMO and my guild all uses TS, however I know that a majority of the servers uses Ventrillo. From my impressions Ventrillo seems to be more popular than TS and many people who have used TS did not like it for one reason or another. I have used it for almost 3 years and have rarely had any issues with it.

For the games that i play.. they all use ventrillo so i have voted for that. I think one time we tried using TS but it just wasnt as good so we went back to ventrillo!
