When you add it a new Compressor window will open. You can always come back to this window to adjust the settings.
Set the Gain level to around 15. This will be the volume adjustment of how loud or quiet you want all Ventrilo users to broadcast to you at.
Set the Attack to .01.
Set the Release to around 500.

OK button three times to get back to the client and press the
Connect button. Remember you can go back and set the Gain
settings if the users are too quiet or loud.
