Teamspeak or Ventrilo: Which do you prefer?

**FinishTheFight** · December 14th, 2008 06:32 PM

I would prefer TeamSpeak, but Ventrilo is good to. TeamSpeak is more friendly user though.

Some are saying the voice quality on TeamSpeak is not so great. I disagree, not only does the quality depend on what the user's settings on TeamSpeak are set to, but what codec is set for that channel.

It's really a matter of personal preference.

Quote from another site:

Well then, again, my original point stands. I don't believe there's going to be any appreciable difference between the two; it will boil down to personal preference. In today's world of 2+ GHz computers and 1Mbps + broadband connections... you probably aren't going to notice a performance difference between the two.

Vent is kinda more simple for me.And for some reason TS causes me more lag then vent....i have no idea why that happens.

And my mic seems to love vent since it causes big background noise on TS.

I prefer Ventrillo because TeamSpeak doesnt work on my PC for some reason. Why dont I just die, nothing works. Not even.. well...

I'm sensing some emoness/Kurt Cobain-ness.

Teamspeaks GUI is nicer and a lot easier to use, also voice activation actually works correctly. I really dislike ventrilo because the voice activation system doesn't work all that great for me and push to talk is horrifying.

I'd prefer Skype over both, but teamspeak is my runner-up.

Wow... This has been neck and neck for months now...

I don't think you can look at this from a technical perspective. People prefer one over the other simply because someone finds one program to be more lag free or more user friendly then the other one.
