Hi ladies and gents,

As most of you dont know, but were struggling some time already with our voice-communication.
We are using VT2.3 and there is no VT2.3 client out there for Mac users.

So we are going to migrate to Mumble (http://mumble.sourceforge.net/) voice client.
Download it from ::: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/


Its open source, so accessible for everybody and coded for Win / Max and *nix
On top of that, the soundquality of Mumble is 100 times better then VT.

Just install it as any other application and start it.
Most of you should be able configure it with common sense, for those who cant, a small tutorial (it may look different in colors, because i added a skin, ignore that)::

1. Start Mumble.
2. The Audio Wizard will start by default, if not, start it by doing the following :

On the first screen use default devices (should always work), click continue.

3. Adjust your microphone, do this carefully as Mumble is very sensitive.
A screen as below will pop up with 3 bar colors, blue/green/red.
Make sure you put your slider in the blue area (very tiny, almost at start).

4. When the Sound wizard is finished, you can start to connect.

5. Put in the following details (except for my imba name ofc), port is default. When you added the details, press "new".. itll add the server to the box to the left and then press "connect".

On a note ::
Walk through your settings after your done, make sure you set a push to talk key!!!!!!
If your sound will start to "sing" around, you have to adjust your Audio wizard and put the slider, visible on picture 2, even lower.


Dont spam here, if you have any questions regarding the installation, post them here (any other post not regarding installation issues will be deleted) and we will try to answer / solve them.

For those who want to adjust more stuff
(for example, with me by default i had some sort of overlay in my games, which always showed me who was in channel, annoying and wanted to turn it off.. but how??... expert settings!!!)

How to get there ::

Open your configuration menu.

Now, goto the User Interface Tab and tick the bottom tickbox called "expert config" and press apply.

Now you will see alot more Tabs will open with all kind of adjustments to make.
