Can you still hear others talking?

Are you running in Direct Sound mode?

When you say key up, what do you mean exactly?

Have you tried running ventrilo as an administrator?
I bet that will fix this problem for you.

Right click on Ventrilo icon and select properties
on the Compatibility tab you should see a box for Run this program as an administrator

I have seen this issue myself and that was exactly the cause, at least in Windows 7 (maybe Vista also). If you are trying to run a full screen game and use ventrilo at the same time, you will need to run ventrilo as an administrator for hot keys to work in game.
