Trino, this is whats happening to Nelsons vent!
Can you have a look, this may help from Vent site, cheers.
Q: I hear my self echoed when ever a certain person is connected at the same time.
Most likely your friend has a Creative Labs sound card and he is using it for the microphone input. There is nothing wrong with the card but the way the system wide sound mixer controls are configured by default. For some unknown reason Creative defaults the sound input device to mix all input sources into a single source. This includes, mic, sound loopback, midi, wave, etc... They all get mixed together. If you reinstall Creative drivers or update to newer ones then this will quite often revert back to all-in-one mix mode again.
The solution to this problem is quite simple but must be performed by the person who is generating the echo rather then you who hears it.
Have this person go into Ventrilo Setup and select a Mixer for the sound card that will be the sound input device (as determined by the "Input device" option). This will populate the Mux and Line options. Normally there should only be one Mux. It's possible that you might have numerous Line options. Go ahead and select "Microphone" or what ever is appropriate for the input line and then click OK.
That should solve the problem.
Please note that selecting a mixer, mux and line will enable the "Hardware volume" slider. This gives you hardware level control over the sound input signal and is the best way for controlling how loud you are. Setting the slider to half way seems to work best for most people but that will be system and hardware dependant.

For those causing echo
Maintz Trino
Have a look at these again
Also check this screenshot of my Vent setup, as it shows where to set up input and output devices, shows using direct sound and also hardware input mixer, which I always set up on mine, and have never had any issues.

Ha ha, fairplay.
I would check Nelson & Maintz's vent settings as Im not sure they are using direct sound and the hardware input mixer where you can force what devices it uses. As screeny
