Mumble is insanely awesome. It's still my goto app if you don't need video (which is most of the time for me). The only downside (maybe really an upside) is that you need to spend considerable amounts of time and effort setting it up for good audio quality. But the latency just can't be beat.
- robryk 7y agoWhat are the settings that you twiddle for better audio quality?
- o-__-o 7y agoAudio quality depends on jitter timing. Too low and you get dropouts, too high and you get uncanny valley with the delays and pauses. You should never have to twiddle these settings since internet routing is so dynamic. But things to look at include jitter sample size (20ms is a good start), codec selection (lower bandwidth), and server resource usage (more cpu or ram). I don’t use mumble but ran an asterix server for a decade and these where the three things that mattered most to reduce conference call latency
- mikekchar 7y agoIn this case, it's mostly getting the levels set up and cutoff set up correctly since by default it cuts off when you aren't talking (and thankfully doesn't have AGC). There is a push to talk mode, but most people that I know don't use it.
- o-__-o 7y agoOh silence detection. Yea that’s another solved problem dunno why you need to manually set that
