Re: [orca-list] [OT] Mumble Client and settings?

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Thanks for your help with the Mumble setup!

I got through everything without a crash, after cleaning out the busted 
configuration.  I don't know how I sound, for real, but I connected to a 
server with some people logged in.  It was silent.





Cheers,





Dave  H.
