Mumble crashes upon trying to connect or configure

[glasspuppet]

Hi, I haven't made any big computer changes recently but Mumble has become completely unusable. It freezes up and I have to shut it down via Task Manager if I try to connect to any server or check/change any of the settings. It also shuts down the audio for my whole system.

Using Win 7 64, let me know what other information is useful to you and I'll provide it.

Cheers.

Even waiting 2 or 3 minutes does not make it responsive again?

It *can* take some time on first start-up and first connection (DLL library loading and stuff).

It also hangs when merely checking the settings (opening the settings dialog)? Really?

As for the no-audio-for-the-other-stuff, do you have exclusive mode enabled by chance? Disable it.

When does it stop other audio output? Even before Mumble freezes? Or when it freezes?

Hi, the problem randomly went away for a few weeks...and has now randomly reappeared.

I have tried leaving it for several minutes and it remains unresponsive.

Yes, really! Sometimes it even works fine until I try to change settings. It will either not open the settings window at all, and freeze up the program, or open the settings window but become unresponsive when I change something (like switching to PTT from Voice-Activity). Usually this is when it also knocks out the audio for my whole system and I have to shut everything down via task manager and then reboot.

Rebooting seems to reset my system audio, but the same problem-cycle continues with mumble regardless.

At the moment, I can't get the settings to open at all so -- though I'm 99% sure exclusive mode is already disabled -- I am unable to actually check it.

Thanks for your reply. Let me know if you think of anything! Cheers

Maybe an audio driver issue.

I suggest uninstalling it and trying with some windows default ones.

Then updating to the most recent / most stable driver version.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling/etc sound drivers several times. No luck so far. The problem almost seems to appear and disappear randomly, regardless of what I do, which other programs are running and so on. It's kind of ruining my gaming life! Please help!!!!
