ractamoncor Mumble is a low-latency, high quality voice chat application intended for use alongside computer games.

Its primary features are:

  • Very low latency.
  • Denoising of audio.
  • Echo cancellation to enable playing on surround speakers.
  • Automatic volume control so all players are equally loud.
  • Positional audio with supported games (the voice of players comes from their direction ingame).
  • Unlimited number of channels with as deep a nesting as desired.
  • Per-channel groups and access control lists.

The design goal of mumble is to have audio quality just as good as if you were sitting in the same room, a goal that has largely been achieved. Current emphasis is on interchannel communication, to enable a mumble-connected community to work better than if they were in the same room.
