Win 7 Mumble - Distorted sound/Fixed - Page 2

Duckmeister · 02-08-2010, 10:57 PM

Right now, all my sound card drivers are adding is EAX and CMSS 3-D, no crystalizer or EQ or anything like that. Both of those shouldn't/aren't causing the problem, and I really don't want to turn them off.

Speaker type is on stereo.

I haven't tried the "exclusive control" thing yet, though.

I've tried raising the packet size and lowering the quality in mumble, to no avail.

it would be helpful for testing purposes to turn them off so we know its not them causing the issue...

you might want to consider contacting the mumble developers in their form - or since they seemed to have fixed the issue in the newer version find the bug-report for it and how it got resolved

Neither EAX nor CMSS 3-D are causing the problem, I just tested them both.

Mumble has something in their FAQ on "robotic voices", talking about how people with bad connections heard everybody distorted because of the codec they used prior to version 1.2.

However, I don't have a bad connection, as I was able to use mumble just fine on a previous computer using the same connection.

EDIT: This website:
http://mmo-mumble.com/help/AdvancedOptions
says that if people are distorted or breaking up, there are various settings you can try. I've tried all of them, to no avail, except for "output delay". For whatever, the "output delay" slider is grayed out, I have no access to it. This may be the answer to my problem, if only it wasn't blocked.

EDIT 2: I've also done some loopback tests, and I sound just as distorted to myself as others do to me.

good thing you tried that
bad thing i would just tend to say its because prmumble is an old mumble
untill there is an update of pr mumble i don't see how your problem could be fixed (maybe by replacing files from the new mumble install hoping that the bugged version gets replaced and doesnt cause new problems)

I got this problem now.

Duckmeister · 02-10-2010, 02:10 PM

Bump for great justice, this is an extremely annoying problem.

[R-DEV]Dr Rank · 02-10-2010, 08:56 PM

FIXED!!!!!

Simple really, I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I just set the PRmumble(0.5beta).exe to run in compatibility mode windows xp service pack 3 (works with service pack 2 as well). Now seems to be working perfectly, although annoyingly I do seem to have to reapply having my audio output settings every time I reload mumble (literally just have to click on configure - settings - apply every time you load up mumble and it will start working, don't need to change any settings if its already been set up correctly) otherwise I can't hear anyone speaking.

At least it works now though!

Duckmeister · 02-11-2010, 09:19 AM

I can confirm that setting for compatibility mode (xp service pack 3) does fix the distorted sound. Good thinking!

Epim3theus · 02-12-2010, 10:26 AM

Yep it works, thanks.
And i don't even have to reapply my audio settings every time.

Silly_Savage · 07-24-2010, 09:18 PM

Bump.

I was having issues with static/distorted voices when anyone broadcast over Mumble.

Running Mumble in compatibility mode with Windows Service Pack 2 DID fix my issues.

Thank you, Dr. Rank.
