I might update this tutorial with images and stuff later.
What is Mumble?
Mumble is a voice communication program. Like teamspeak, ventrilo, skype.
Mumble have a much faster response time than ventrilo, teamspeak 2, (a little faster than teamspeak 3), and skype.
It is open source, meaning it is totally free, server and client. This also means there is no limits.
(Free Skype and ventrilo has a cap of 8 slots?). Mumble is unlimited.
Mumble is much better at detecting what is noise and what is speech than Skype.
Has 3 options: Continious transmit (records all the time), transmit speech only (only transmit when you speak) and the classic ventrilo (push to talk key).
Getting the client:
You can download the client here: Mumble
When you install the client, there is an audio wizard, you should NOT RUSH yourself through it. Take good time, because this wizard will help you adjust your microphone to its best potencial.
(Like configurating how sensitive it shall be to noise and speech) for an example.
Thread RC1 done.
Mumble = Client. We use Mumble to connect to a Murmur server.
One of the big pros with murmur, is that is is so much faster than etc ventrilo, and this also makes it very sensitive to performance. Meaning, it is highly recommended to use it with Linux and not Windows. However, it is possible to run murmur server on both.
Installing Murmur on Linux Ubuntu Server 10.04
First you need to install some sort of package to give your box greater compatibility:
Then:
Then a simple configuring wizard: (password to admin user etc is set here)
Writing these commands, you have downloaded the required things.
Now its time to edit the configuration file:
use ctrl + W and search after these lines, one by one:
Uncommented and/or set a value to them. I changed the port from default to 7355.
then, ctrl + O to save, and ctrl + X to exit.
Then you just write "murmurd". In command line, it will look like you get no reaction, but it started. Its a silent starter.
Now, everything should be working.
Installing Murmur on Windows:
When you download Mumble (the client) during the installation, it will ask you if you want to also install the server. Do so.
All you got to do now, is to make sure that you have modified mumble-server.ini file. Witch you can locate at the place where you installed Mumble (and Murmur).
Then, the standards, firewall, routing has to be taken care of.
Connecting to the murmur server with Mumble:
Start mumble, when you get to the server panel (sorted by country) you can click on "Add New..."
server name: pick a random name that you think suits the server.
Address: The IP where the server is hosted.
Port: The port it is running.
Username: Your desired username on the server. Choose whatever you like.
