Ok I need to find a good voice chat program for linux that also is available for windows. Any ideas? I have linux but my girlfriend has windows. We used to use yahoo messenger but I switched to linux and now I can't. So what are some voice chat programs out there for linux+windows?
I have ventrilo server running on my xbox. Its an older version though, from the time it still was free - 2.1.x.
However, skype is far better for normal 1on1 chat. Ventrilo is mostly used for gaming and many users.
thanks for the info. I tried skype but there is a lot of interference in the background, like a big buzzing noise....too annoying to carry on a conversation.
Sounds like hardware or driver problems to me. I've used Skype on both Windows and Gentoo (not on Xbox though) for a long time and I find the sound quality to be excellent with minimum delay.
However, whatever works for you - use it!
ya, I need to recompile my kernel and add ALSA support. I am just running OSS right now and I don't have a software mixer so only one program works at a time w/ sound right now! LOL
