We offer a Mumble server to chat with other BitMissile members or to talk with your friends online. This is a how-to on configuring Mumble and connecting to our server.
There are public and private rooms available to talk in. If you’re bored and just looking for someone to talk to, we have public channels to talk in. However, for groups of people acting independently, we also have private rooms.

Configuring
Step 1
This will be the first screen you see when you start Mumble for the first time. Just proceed to the next step by clicking “Next”.
Step 2
Here is where you select your audio input and output devices. Yours will probably be different than the ones in this image. When it is set up correctly, you should be able to hear yourself speak. After you’ve selected your devices, proceed to the next step by clicking “Next”.
Step 3
You need to setup the output buffer now. Usually, the default value you will work fine here. However, if you hear people breaking up quite a lot, you will need to turn this up. After you’ve completed this step, proceed to the next step by clicking “Next”.
Step 4
Now you need to set the volume for your microphone. You need to try to keep everything in the green range. Try talking both softly and loudly, while adjusting the volume accordingly. After you’ve set your volume correctly, proceed to the next step by clicking “Next”.
Step 5
Here you can select the type of input activation. We strongly recommend you use ”Push To Talk,” so you don’t annoy people when your mic picks up random noises. Make sure you do not use a constant stream. After you’ve got your input activation method selected, proceed to the next step by clicking “Next”.
Step 6
You now need to set your quality setting. The best option to use is “Balanced”. You can tune this option more later. After you’ve selected your quality, proceed to the next step by clicking “Next”.
Step 7
This is a test for position audion. You can simply just click “Next” and proceed.
Step 8
You’ve now completed the Mumble configuration. You can optionally send the Mumble team data if you wish. Click “Finish” to complete the configuration.
