How to Set Up Mumble

Here is my tutorial on how to get Mumble ready for use. I normally don’t do this, but I’ll try to make it herp-derp friendly, hehehehehe. Mac and Linux versions may be a little bit different, but I hope this guide helps.

inb4 tl;dr - Download, install, run audio wizard, and connect to “66.151.138.10” (port 6390).

Download the software at http://mumble.sourceforge.net/. Mumble is available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Linux!
After installing, RUN THE AUDIO WIZARD. There should be a prompt asking you to do so when you first run Mumble. I cannot stress “RUN THE AUDIO WIZARD” enough. From there you can optimize your sound and network and set up your push-to-talk key. IF YOU FUCKING ASK ME, “HOW DO I SET UP A PUSH-TO-TALK KEY?” I FUCKING KNOW YOU DIDN’T RUN THE AUDIO WIZARD AT ALL OR YOU JUST RUSHED THROUGH IT CARELESSLY. I think you’ll be asked to create a certificate or something, just make one. Click yes/next or whatever, you can do that part carelessly, lol.
Open up the server list by clicking Server on the menu bar then Connect.

Click Add New.

In the Edit Server window, fill these details in:

Address: 66.151.138.10

Port: 6390

Name the server whatever you want, and enter in your desired name (you can’t copy mine, teehee).

Click on the new server you just added and CONNECT! Or you can just double click on the server name.

Then you should be inside the server and ready to use Mumble! (My Mumble is customized to have the chat/log on the right side, but yours should be on the left by default.)

This part is optional, but I recommend doing this to make your Mumble server look more pleasing and look like Ventrilo/TeamSpeak (I’m used to it and it just makes more sense) like in the previous screenshot. On the menu bar, click on Configure then Settings. Check Advanced on the bottom left corner and click on the User Interface tab/section. Change your layout if you want but I recommend setting Expand to All and check the boxes below it. YOU NEED TO RESTART MUMBLE FOR THESE CHANGES TO APPLY.

From this point, feel free to change other options to your liking, especially Overlay, Messages, audio and network quality, and custom skins.
This part is also optional. On Windows 7 (not sure about Vista and XP) you can change the input and output quality of your devices. In the screenshot below I have my mic quality set to the max. You should too by going into your system sound settings and change the format for your mic (and speakers if you want). Your max quality may be different from mine because I have a high-end sound card.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or need any extra help (I hope this isn’t the case), feel free to message me on Tumblr or any other networks like Steam.

tl;dr - Download, install, run audio wizard, and connect to “66.151.138.10” (port 6390).
