Mumble stops functioning after about 2 minutes.

It is a very similar problem to the one described here. My only difference is that I'm not connecting using a server that I run, and it stops working after about 2 or 3 minutes instead of 20. It was not doing this 2 days ago, and I don't recall changing anything, but help would be appreciated!

Can you define "stops functioning"?

Next time it does it, please right-click yourself and pick "Information", and tell us what the to/from UDP client counts look like?

Do your lips turn red in the client? Does opening the configuration window, changing something (anything) and clicking "Apply" help?

Yeah, by stops functioning, I mean that I can see people enter and leave. I can't see their messages or hear them talk. I cannot be heard, even though my lips turn red, and I cannot hear them. Opening and applying the configuration window doesn't do anything. Here is the information.

Do those packet loss counts go up suddenly when it stops working, or is 4~5% pretty common?

Does forcing TCP mode in Mumble's network settings do anything? (Note that with that ping deviation and packet loss, TCP mode will likely cause some giant lag, it doesn't seem like your connection to the Mumble server is very stable at all).

How about disabling QoS (also Mumble's settings)?

This is what it looks like when it's working fine.

I've forced it into TCP mode (w/o QoS disabled) to see if its that. I'm going to put it into no QoS if this doesn't work and then try.

EDIT: Neither seem to do anything. but TCP makes me hella laggy

Okay, so here's what is different from when it was working and now when it's not working. The two things that I have changed are:

I have moved to college and am now using dorm room internet,

I have changed from a wired to a wireless connection, the usb dongle that I'm using to conneck to the WiFi is a Netgear WNA3100.

Other than that, nothing has changed.

Does anyone else in your dorm use Mumble without issue?

Because those packet loss numbers are pretty messed up. And yes, TCP mode will lag you if you're dropping packets because the OS will resend late/lost packets and the OS will stack them up in order when they arrive.

I'd personally suspect your dorm's internet - quite likely an anti-P2P thing is severely throttling packets and catching Mumble as well.

Yeah, it seems like it is network based because I tried logging into the mumble server on my Macbook and had the same issue :\ I contacted my admin, but I don't think they will be able to help me :P This sucks, but thanks for the help.
