In setup make sure USE DIRECT SOUND for both input and output device is checked, and make sure that both Input and Output devices are selected to what you are using.
Also use the TEST and MONITOR buttons in the setup to make sure your levels are correct.
If this still doesnt work use the PUSH-TO-TALK Hotkey - this always has the mic off until you press the button - the button can be anything on your keyboard or mouse.

i tried vt without push-to-talk key (LALT) and i noticed that when i said something i was pushing that LALT.. so i decided to use push-to-talk key.. :D so it wasnt much "easier" to me without it lol :P

heheh I had similar problem, while talking on the phone and sitting next at computer. After a while I got irritated because my browser kept skipping back pages, due to the fact that I was pressing push-to-talk on my mouse while having a conversation on phone, and the same button while not in VT skips pages to previous :) Just makes me wonder IF I'm playing too much :P

Push to talk is the best way, you then dont let others hear conversations with your wife and telephone calls lol
I used to have num pad 0 but I have mine on my mouse as well which is so much easier, I also have reload set on my mouse so I dont go around a corner and try and shoot a bad guy with the 1 remaining round left in my mag

I remember when i first started using Ventrillo, my push-to-talk key was also my binoculars key every time i spoke i got a real good look at the bloke just about to shoot me
Also PRIVATE CHONG'S "use" key is also the enter button for text so when he types something in game he jumps out of cars, hilarious to watch.
