Playing Arma 3 while using Ventrilo for voice communications causes a buzz in the headset, and creates a feedback while talking to others. Ventrilo is set up for voice activated transmission, and not PTT. Use of Ventrilo while Arma 3 is not running is not showing problems, once the game is loaded and running, feedback is being constantly transmitted regardless of whether I'm talking or not. If the game is placed in the background by using ALT+TAB, the feedback will stop but will resume once the game comes into the foreground as active application. This also continues if I turn down all in-game sounds and turn down all VOIP controls. Setting Ventrilo to PTT will cease the constant noise transmission, but it is in the background when I initiate my transmission.
The buzz in the headset did seem to alternate pitch when playing with video settings.

Hello, this is most probably caused by Ventrillo and not arma itself. Please try checking the Ventrillo configuration and settings.
Thank you for your feedback.
