FAQ
Q
How to Install Mumble on Linux mint?
A
Run the following command:
# apt-get install mumble mumble-server
Q
What makes Mumble better?
A
Mumble has very low latency combined with good sound quality; it uses OPUS, CELT and Speex, not just the voice compression technology, but also the voice pre-processing to remove noise and improve clarity. Mumble also has positional audio for supported games, meaning the other players' voice will come from the direction their character is in game
Q
What are the system requirements?
A
The client runs on any Windows, Linux or Mac OS X machine. You also need a microphone. The server is mostly bandwidth bound, so as long as your network hardware is sufficient it should run on pretty much anything.

Please note that the Windows binaries distributed from SourceForge are compiled for SSE (Pentium 3 or Athlon-XP). Mumble is a VoIP solution for gaming, and as most modern games require at least that good a CPU it makes little sense for us not to optimize for it.
Q
What platforms does it run on?
A
The client, Mumble, runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

There is also a client for iOS, named Mumble for iOS and an inofficial Android client named Plumble.

The server component, Murmur, should run on anything you can compile Qt 4 on.
Q
What is Mumble?
A
Mumble is a voice chat application for groups. While it can be used for any kind of activity, it is primarily intended for gaming. It can be compared to programs like Ventrilo or TeamSpeak. People tend to simplify things, so when they talk about Mumble they either talk about "Mumble" the client application or about "Mumble & Murmur" the whole voice chat application suite.
