i downloaded the latest drivers and everything, but when i try to watch videos or connect to ventrillo it says Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -1 plz help me

What video card did you install? What soundcard do you use or motherboard model if you use onboard sound? Operating System?

its a radeon HD 4670 and i have windows xp never bought a sound card or anything like that i have a compaq also, idk much about computers

It's probably because that video card has a built in sound chip for HDMI.

What you need to do is change your default sound device. (on XP) Go to Control Panel> Sounds and Audio Devices> Audio> then select the default device under Playback.

You may also have to change your sound devices in Ventrilo setup as well.

Try that.
