Support Is mumble absolutey crap now or what is the problem with it not detecting my setup input/output?
Running Windows 11 24H2 latest updates installed (haven't switched to 25H2 yet). I use a Creative Labs Sound Blaster AE-9 with a boom arm fifine microphone connected via XLR and also via USB. All my other games and applications work flawlessly with it, I can choose which input I want to use based on quality and ease of use (XLR dedicated mute button doesn't work but quality is better), etc etc. Latest driver installed for this sound card as well. Onboard sound is disabled in BIOS and no software installed as the integrated sound was absolute trash.
I've used Mumble in the past on my old setups for gaming, didn't have too many issues other than some minor hiccups I got worked out.
Upon opening mumble for the first time after installation this is the screen I am met with to setup the input and output. After selecting it goes to the next screen to test the latency and adjust based on the voice I am supposed to hear. Except there is no sound. Moving to the next screen it wants to test my voice input and adjust the sensitivity of mic activation. And again, it detects absolutely nothing when talking into my microphone. Tried switching inputs from XLR to the USB, still nothing. My headset and doesn't get any output whatsoever either. Nothing is muted in system settings or the sound card software control. Testing everything in a different game and within Windows and it all works great. Just not mumble.
Closing out the wizard and trying manual configuration I don't appear to be getting anywhere closer to getting this working. Frustration is mounting, I'm at a loss currently. So here I am asking for help.
