=====Introduction=====
Since it is already up and running, has user (and group) integration with phpBB3, and so on, most importantly because I'm bored, I'll write **how to get to our Mumble Server**.\\ To avoid missunderstandings: Mumble is the client, Murmur is the Server
Allthough the prog is very new, it has quite a respectable list of features.\\
Best of them (in my opinion) is the in-game display of ur channel.

=====Requirements (What you need)=====
#Windows or Mac:\\
First you need to obtain the client from http://mumble.sf.net (in the middle of the page "**Get Mumble**"), download and install it.

#Linux:\\
try getting mumble from your distro's repository, if you can't find it there, or there is an outdated version (everything older then 1.2.0) try compiling it from source or get a deb/rpm file from an other repository (check the unstable ones from your distribution). If everything fails send me a pm, I'll try to hook you up with a deb/rpm file or the binaries.

=====Step by step=====
Next run Mumble (I assume that you installed software on your system in the past and therefore know how to start a program you just installed) and please take the time to complete the [[tutorials:mumble-how_to#Mumble Audio Wizard|Audio Wizard]] that shows up on the first run (you can start the Audio Wizard again whenever you need it (e.g. new sound, new headset) by selecting "configure"->"**Audio Wizard**").

Now it should welcome you with a server selection window (if not press crtl+o), select the "//Custom Server//" tab, click new and insert the following information:\\

Label: dswp (whatever you want but I think dswp is a good name to use, I use it myself)\\
Address: dswp.de\\
Port: 64738 (you may leave this blank as well, it is the default port)\\
Username: <your_username> (the username you use in the forums)\\
Password: <your_password> (the password you use in the forums)\\

Now click "//Add//" to permanently add this server to your custom servers list.\\
Doubly clicking the entry (dswp) or pressing "//Connect//" will bring you on our Mumble server. You are now ready to speak.\\

Optional: Create a Desktop shortcut (Windows)\\
Right-click on the desktop, select "//New shortcut//". In the destination field, insert: "mumble://dswp.de" (without ""). Clicking on that shortcut will connect you to the server and, if specified in the custom servers list, log you in.\\
\\
Optional: Connecting on startup (Linux, command line)\\
(prompt)$ mumble mumble://dswp.de


=====Mumble Audio Wizard=====
Audio Wizard shows up on the first run (you can start the audio wizard again whenever you need it (e.g. new sound, new headset) by selecting //“configure”→“Audio Wizard”//). 

First, be SURE that the microfone is set right.\\
First of it all (only for windows...)\\
Activate Mic Boost:\\

{{:tutorials:mic_boost_2.png|}}


When ure in mumble, klick **configure --> settings**,\\
u see the following window:\\
{{:tutorials:mic_mumble.png|}}

in the "Interface" part\\
- leave default, exept u have a separate Audio for Headset (Bluetooth in shown case...)

in the "Transmission" part\\
- Be sure its set to "Amplitude" (like in example)\\
- Voice Hold --> keep it short...\\
- the RED area mean: what happenes here is background noise\\
- The YELLOW area mean: Mic wont be activated but will stay open\\
- The GREEN area mean: Mic will be activated\\

in the "Compression" part\\
- set Quality to high, Audio per Packet low (as shown in example)\\
- set it vice versa if u expirience lagi

in the "Audio Processing" part\\
- I rly dunno, i left it. If u have a noisy surrounding (like u play while u drive with the car) -Play with it and post a picture of ur car please.\\



THE "EXPERT" CONFIG\\

=====What makes it unique and great for us=====
It has now the capability to be administrated remotely.\\
And we have a brandnew mechanism:\\
It switch the user in the right channel, according to the team he plays in.\\
U dont have to care for talking to the enemy, the machine guards ure in the right channel.\\
Btw: it works in real time.

Last at not least its open source, thx the community.\\
Theres the a client for ALL Operating systems that URT support.\\
We can use Teamspeak free too, since were not professional. But this feels so much better!
