You will now be connected to the server. Some channels will be restricted to members that have the game(s) required. If you need access to a particular channel ask any moderator for help.
Q2. Why does no one hear me on Mumble?
A2. If no on hears you, and your microphone is functioning properly, then the problem is that you need to configure your voice activation in Mumble.
Go to "Configure" in Mumble and then select "Audio Wizard". Follow the instructions provided.
The goal is to keep background noise silenced (red), the start of speech in the green, and the rest of your speech in the yellow.
To test if your voice activation is properly configured the mouth icon near your username on the server will turn red only when your microphone is active. Your microphone should only be active when you are talking, and off when your not. If you did not succeed as setting up the voice activation the first time, try the "Audio Wizard" again.
