What factors determine the quality of VoIP ?

[GamerAndy]

method and type of compression, rough amount of bandwidth alotted for up/down, distance between users, # of people in the communication.....

What service are you using?

Does the sound card make a big difference? Because mine is pretty old.

Also, what is the minimum required speed for decent quality?

[Draygon]

VOIP takes up very little bandwidth, old or new, sound cards do the same thing...they out put sound.  So a new or old one doesnt matter.

The actual sound quality may sound better on a new one, but thats only because its coming out of your sound card.  New tech and what not.

Old or new you should be good with Vent though.

I can't figure out why everyone always hears a "cracking" sound, whether over vent or using bf2's in-game voip

Could be the card, or it could be your line in and out of your house as well.
