Yes. Check that you have all the settings, also make sure that you have not written anything in where it needs to be left blank.
This is my Ventrilo guide to help set up microphones:
I have just made a little guide to help anyone who has bad cutting out or can hear people not clearly.
Feel free to add a post to say anything I have missed, it is just a basic setup.
RED = Push to talk.
BLUE = Voice Activation.
1. [OPTIONAL] Set up microphone by going into MSN, Tools > 'Audio and Video setup...'
2. [OPTIONAL] Select your desired speaker volume, then click Next.
3. [OPTIONAL] Now, without speaking (it is best to put your microphone down on the desk), put the microphone volume up to up to max, then click Next (you will have to do this every time you want to start on Ventrilo, you speaker settings will remain the same, but the microphone volume always seems to go down to default).
4. [OPTIONAL] Click Finish, and exit MSN.
5. Open Ventrilo and click Setup.
6. At the top left hand corner you should have the following boxes ticked:
'Enable outgoing voice communications.'
'Use push-to-talk hotkey.'
7. Now, below all the tick boxes should be a box called 'hotkey', in the box type the letter or button you want to talk with.
8. Adjust your inbound if people are too quiet or too loud. Adjust your outbound if people think you are too loud or quiet.
9. Press and hold the button down and chat away!

7. Put silence time to 0.5 seconds.
8. You will have to adjust your sensitivity to how you want it. Too high and you will keep cutting out. Too low, and people can hear horrible background noises like kids screaming. This does take a bit of time to find your correct setting, you can see if you are cutting out by watching yourself in the Ventrilo main window. When you talk, the light next to your name should turn green, if it flashes green and red, your sensitivity is too high.
9. Adjust your inbound if people are too quiet or too loud. Adjust your outbound if people think you are too loud or quiet.
10. Chat away!
Hope this helps anyone's troubles.
