Step-by-Step Instructions:

Follow these simple steps for installing, setting up, and using Mumble.
  1. Create an account on the TexasMilitia Community Forums
  2. Download the 1.2.2 version of Mumble at http://mumble.sourceforge.net.
  3. After Mumble finishes downloading, double click the program.
  4. Click "English" or your preferred language, then click "OK".
  5. Click "I agree" to accept a user license agreement.
  6. The next screen asks what you want installed. Mumble (Client) is the only thing required to run Mumble on the TxM server.
  7. Click "Next"
  8. Mumble will now ask you for a file path. You can just click "Next" and then "Install". When Mumble is finished Installing click "Finish".
  9. When Mumble starts it will ask, "Would you like to go through the Audio Wizard", select "Yes".
  10. When you are at the Introduction screen, click "Next"
  11. You can either leave these settings set to "Default Device" or select your devices from the list.
  12. You can enable the "Enable positional audio" option if desire. To read more about it Click Here.
  13. click "Next"
  14. On the Device tuning page, set this option as low as possible, but where the voice still sounds clear. This will depend on your hardware, but most newer systems will work fine at 10ms, then click "Next"
  15. On the Volume tuning page, adjust your Windows microphone so that when you talk loudly it is still in the green area.
  16. Now adjust the bottom slider so it is just below your whisper voice. The Blue area is your "quiet" zone. Click "Next"
  17. The Voice Activity Detection depends on your personal preference. For voice activated, use "Signal-To-Noise" or "Raw amplitude from input". "Signal-To-Noise" works better is quiet locations. If you have a lot of background noise, use "Raw amplitude from input".
  18. If you are using voice activated, adjust the slider so that it looks like this, but when you speak it crosses over into the green. Click "Next"
  19. Depending on your bandwidth, you can select the best option for you. By default Balanced works for most users. If you have high speed cable or FIOS, you can use the High option.
  20. Some find the "Text-To-Speech" annoying, so you may want to disable this option, but by doing so, you will not be notified when you receive a text message.
  21. Click "Next"
  22. On the Positional Audio page, Click use headphones, if you are using them, then click "Next"
  23. On the Finished page, make your selection on the "Submit anonymous statistics", then click "Finish"
  24. Mumble will now open a "Certificate Management" Page. Select "Automatic certificate creation", then click "Next".
  25. Then click "Finish"
  26. Mumble will now open the "Mumble Server Connect" window. You can
