Turtle Beach SRM Microphone issue...

I am currently using a Dell XPS M1530 with Vista Business. I recently set up my Turtle Beach AK-R8. For those who aren't familiar, it consists of the HPA2 headset combined with the inline USB sound card, SRM along with support and drivers for it. I must say that the sound quality and customizability is absolutely incredible and I have never heard a better sounding set of cans!

One problem. When I'm using Ventrilo, people on the other end report that I occasionally broadcast "static" and "multiples" of me through the microphone on the headset. It sounds great otherwise according to them, but if anyone could help me solve this, it would be great. I am positive that it is the SRM causing the problem; I tested the SRM with another headset and got the same issue, while using the microphone built into my laptop I have no problems(asides from poor quality; it's running on the on-board sound)

Vista Business
Core2 Duo 2.4 GHZ T8300
8600m GT 256MB
4GB PC5300 RAM

Turtle Beach told me that this matters but so far ive yet to find any real impact:
I have 3 USB ports on it; One is being used by the SRM, the other by the charger/receiver for my Logitech G7, the other empty.

Thank you in advance for your help!

^ Very helpful. The T.B usb dongle has its own mic and your laptop has its own mic, so make sure you have muted whichever mic you aren't using

Perhaps you'de be better off asking here: http://www.ventrilo.com/forums/
