Make everyone in Ventrilo the same volume

We’ve all been there. The one asshole in Vent that blasts us with machine-gun like volume. His laughter blows your speakers and his plosives and sibilance are CIA-approved torture techniques. Or the worst case scenario: The unstable audio connection that sends shock waves of static bursts that make you impulsively throw your headphones across the room. He can’t control it because he’s a savage. But that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it! Follow these nine steps and everyone will be the same volume!
