My mumble has gone a bit tits up and i was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as this or knows what the problem might be.
One night it was working fine and the next day when i put it on all the sound from people has disappeared, i see them light up, i hear the channels talking, they can hear me i just cant hear them.
I never changed any settings so it shouldnt be that but i checked them all the same and cant see anything wrong there. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but all the settings from the previous version reloaded so i assume there must be a config file or something hidden elsewhere.
Anyone have any ideas?

Mumble fails again. String and spent bean can triumph.

My clan is using Skype right now. We are thinking of getting a VOIP. Im split between Mumble and Vent. We use to have a vent server but ther was a HUGE delay. Then we switched to skype and it was god like. May main conserns are low delay, decent quality, and good admin control. So what do you think Gaf??

Mumble will meet your needs. Set up a local server and try it out with your friends. It's super easy.
Just make sure to fiddle with your audio settings. You can usually bump the quality up a few notches.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
I just use hamachi and run a server (Murmur) over the virtual network.fifasnipe2224 said:

Playing comp tf2 is a huge difference with mumble. Highly recommended and there is almost no lag. I know what you mean with vent, but mumble is just leagues betterfifasnipe2224 said:

too bad since im on a mac, and they developed a mac client and it apparently isn't as up to snuff as the PC client, since i had those issues that i described earlier. not like it matters, though. if it works better for some people than vent, then that's good.

So does anyone have ANYTHING negative to say about mumble?

Some people confuse the HD audio quality with sounding like robots. That's about it.
I doubt it.fifasnipe2224 said:
Works like a charm, and you can host your own server without any problems.
Edit: I have no idea about bandwith allocation though... that might be a problem with hosting compared to other services for some. But I live in Sweden and we pretty much do not have that problem here.

THANKS GAF! Looking to buy a BF3 server and a Mumble server as well. And If I buy from multiplay gameservers I get a mumble server for free (Equal to the slot count and 50% off for every additional slot)
So I might pull the trigger on that unless I hear any negative reactions to Mumble or Multiplay Gameservers.

Not a fan of the CELT codec...it's very poor for reproducing voice. The Mumble interface is overly confusing and cluttered. There is no Mumble web control panel. Otherwise, I like it. It has a much brighter future ahead of it than the competition. I just don't believe it has reached maturity yet.
For now, I'm sticking with Ventrilo, but I will probably convert my server over once Mumble gets a proper control panel.

I did at one point. I only tested it with a few people, however. I think the main issue was the noise reduction algorithm which really messes with the voices. Some people on GAF Mumble sound nice and clear, while others just sound terrible. I feel like there's too much inconsistency. Speex is generally much more consistent, but sadly it doesn't have the benefit of lower lag. Mumble does support both codecs however, so it's not really a knock against it.

There are some nice third party ones if the mumble server is running on unix/linux

Hey, guys. Is there something about Mumble that can mess up voice chat in Steam games for me? I was playing L4D2 a few days ago and my friends said they couldn't hear me (well into the game, so I was basically talking to myself).
I asked them if they thought Mumble could be the cause and one said maybe, so here I am. Help?
I checked Recording Devices in Win7 and the mic is my default communications device. I also checked Mumble but I couldn't really find anything, so I must have missed it.

If that is the case, then try starting mumble as administrator.

Sorry for the late response, but, basically, Mumble seems to have fucked up my mic from working in in-game chat on Steam games (well, both L4Ds, at least. Haven't tried other games). And I don't know what to do. I've checked the settings, and everything's the same as it was before. In-game voice chat was messed up after I installed Mumble, so it must have been the cause. I even uninstalled Mumble but the mic isn't being recognized when I do a mic test in-game in the options, but it's recognized in Steam -> Settings -> Voice. It also works in Steam voice chat and Skype.
However, it doesn't work when I try recording my voice in Audacity, or Window's Sound Recorder. I'm seriously lost and it's getting on my nerves.
I even googled the problem and only this was similar: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1760747 I had already tried what the second poster said, but I got nothing.
Also bumping to say thank you to Vertopci for his continued support of our addiction to each others voices in the various GAF communities, of which I'm involved in 4.

Figured I'd ask this here: I've got a vent server atm, and I'm probably going to switch to Mumble when my subscription crap runs out in a few days.
Does anyone know of a host that's better than Multiplay (not that that's hard), preferably based in the UK, and allows me to switch between Vent/Mumble/Teamspeak whenever. Would love some recommendations.
Edit: Hypernia seem ok, but I've no way of seeing whether they'll let me do the on-the-fly switching. Anyone use them?

Updated OP with info on the new backup/secondary server. I noticed that the main one last night was pretty much full, so I turned on the backup with 50 slots.
If the backup is down or lagging, just message me on steam. Backup only has a few rooms. If you need to make a new one, remember you can create your own temporary room to use until someone is able to create a permanent one.
