We are testing out the new murmur server for mumble @ voice.bornl33t.net just use the default port and the same password as the ventrilo server. For those of you with registered users, I don't have a way to migrate you at this time. Though I'm looking into a way to link the drupal users into the mumble user database.
- To get started, download the client from here
- Spend a little time setting up your mic
- Enable expert mode and move the quality to "10" (leave the other settings alone)
- Connect to voice.bornl33t.net using the default port listed
- Use the default password to connect
- join one of two channels and chat away!
Why not use Ventrilo?
The reason we are moving away from Ventrilo and onto mumble is for a few reasons.
- It doesn't make sense that if you can get the same audio quality from an open source solution, why pay $120USD+ a year?
- As of late, our ventrilo host has been on the fritz with major lag spikes. We haven't given them a chance to fix it because another, more favorable solution has presented itself
- Mumble seems to be much more flexible in the ways of user management and channel management
