Win 7 Mumble - Distorted sound/Fixed

[[R-DEV]Dr Rank]

64x edition of WIN 7

S/C - PCIe SB X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro Series, Driver version 2.17.7 (latest)

Mumble v 0.5(beta) (lastest PR mumble)

For some reason all of the sound outputed from mumble (i.e. everyone speaking) is badly distorted. Here's an example:

4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download mumble fail v2.zip

Tried:

reinstalling mumble
reinstalling s/c drivers
installing latest normal mumble too to see if it would update codecs or w/e
changing around various sound set up option in the mumble program

Teamspeak/ingame voip work perfectly, only mumble has an issue.

Not much help but i've got the exact same thing with the normal titanium, same latest drivers and Win7-64.
Did a fresh win7 instalement and fresh driver instalement couple of days ago.

Win 7 has an Exclusive Mode that might be messing up Mumble while you have other voice programs running. Go To: Control panel > open Sound > Double Tap Recording device > Select Advanced......

Unckeck the box that says, "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".


Let me know if that works, or take screen shots of your mumble settings.

What is the sampling rate on the output? Does this same problem occur with Mumble 1.2.1? You can connect to some public server and do a loopback. Actually, you might want to try the loopback with PR Mumble as well, since that will isolate some other possible factors.

Thankyou for the advise so far. Unfortunately this didn't make any difference:

Here are my mumble settings, I tried playing around with them a bit but they should be on default now:

Ok, tried Mumble 1.2.1 and no, it doesn't have the same problem. Went a bit mad when I tried to set up the audio during the initial tutorial (edhoing sounds, mic reverbing etc) so I skipped that. But when I connected to a random public mumble servers I could hear everyone speaking clearly. However when I connected back to pr mumble I still had the issue.

EDIT: Tried uninstalling and reinstalling prmumble again with no joy. Even the sound I hear back when talking during the setup wizard is distorted in the same way, as is the guys voices when he says "this is an examples of speaks, an audio compression tool" etc.

Try to set your device to the specific type, not default. Do this for both audio in/out.

Have you tried to download a different PRMumble?

Yeah, tried those cheers, still no joy

Have you tried checking the TCP option? Perhaps your router and/or firewall or virus protection is interfering with your UDP packets?

I'm having this exact same problem, with a Titanium series card. Latest drivers and everything, hugely distorted sound.

I'm even getting the main menu music as distorted, but all other music and sounds are fine.

make sure you select headphones/stereo for your speaker type in the sound driver program/windows sound settings - not 7.1 or so

disable all enhancements off the device

check your sound driver program if it tries to filter and or apply effects and disable them

also you can set devices to be used for voip (default communication device) - maybe that has something to do with it (no clue where to go from here though xD)
