{{tip|We suggest to choose the '''Push-To-Talk''' mode in the '''Voice Activity Detection''' step; if you choose another mode, make sure to calibrate the volume levels correctly (follow the on-screen instructions carefully). This way, your voice will be transmitted only when you mean to, and there will be less background noise on the channel.}} | {{tip|We suggest to choose the '''Push-To-Talk''' mode in the '''Voice Activity Detection''' step; if you choose another mode, make sure to calibrate the volume levels correctly (follow the on-screen instructions carefully).

=== Binding '''Push-To-Talk''' to joystick button on linux === | |||
On linux you can enable generic input support by editing <code>~/.config/Mumble/Mumble.conf</code>. You need to add the following section: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="ini" enclose="div"> | |||
[shortcut] | |||
linux\evdev\enable=true | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Make sure you have permission to access the input devices (typically called <code>/dev/input/event*</code>). You might need to add yourself to the appropriate group (for example <code>input</code>) or configure your device manager to grant access. Consult your OS documentation for details. {{Tip|<code>input-events</code> is a useful tool for troubleshooting.}} | |||
Proceed to launch mumble. If you are using a terminal, watch the output messages. You should see your input device listed, such as: | |||
<code>GlobalShortcutX: /dev/input/event7: Saitek Cyborg Evo Force</code> | |||
Open the settings dialog, go to the shortcuts tab and assign any button you like to the <code>Push-to-Talk</code> function. | |||
{{Note|It may show up as nonsense but that is just a cosmetic issue. For example, one of my joystick buttons appears as {{button|semicolon}}. Nevertheless, it's still the joystick button and typing semicolon on the keyboard has no effect.}} | |||
