So, I’ve been having issues with voice chat on Discord and I’m looking for alternatives. In my search, I came across Mumble, here. Does anyone here have experience, or information regarding Mumble, or a better alternative to Discord with better latency? Is it relatively easy to set up? Is it safe? Any advice and help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your well articulated response! I think Mumble might be my best bet. I personally love the idea of a hassle setting it up, but never having to touch it after. I’ve found most products I stick with are like that. I converted an old laptop with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD with an AMD CPU into my server, so I don’t expect any issue with loads.

      I used to run Mumble for my Battlefield crew (probably Bad Company 2 I think) on a Nokia n810.

      Your laptop will definitely handle it.

      Sounds perfect, my TS3 instance was running on a 10+ year old Dell Optiplex until a while ago when I moved it to a VM.

      You seem to have everything covered, VOIP services are not that heavy, and its great having a residence on the internet where your nerds can drop in and out of. The main issue is getting people off Discord or understanding that old programs are just as if not more functional. (Plus, the whole “If TeH PrOdUcT is Fr33, UR da PrOduCt” thing, but im preaching to the choir here)
