Mumble since it has that positional audio thingumajiggy.

I voted for mumble, as from the brief amount of use I've got of it, it seems to maintain the lower latencies I've seen from teamspeak, whilst not being that system heavy, having a nice room ingame overlay, and also having decent voice quality, think it also has built in normalisation on voices which is nice.
Haven't tried TS3 to see how its improved from TS2, but that'd be my second choice...TS2 sounds worse than vent, but its lighter on your system and lower latency in most cases, which is more important than sound quality as long as you're understandable.

Mumble is the new king of Voice comms!!
All the others are over priced and simply dont offer what Mumble can!

Voted TS3.
Ventrilo lagged too often & have not tried Mumble yet.
BTW the difference between TS2 & TS3 is night & day.

I've never tried Mumble, but between Vent and TS I would say TS. I've used it for years and never had a problem at all. Not sure how good the server software is at hundreds of people though, was only ever in channels with a maximum of around 50. Can't see it being an issue though providing the server had enough power.

Mumble.
Superb quality and the priority speaker and normalisation really does make it even better.

Any options for admin for those of us that currently run servers for ocuk?

Will be, need authorisation first though from the top man first, so just looking for ideas at the moment.
Had really bad experiences with TS2 server, 90% of them had terrible codecs.
Used Ventrilo for years, great stuff with the voice normalisation, no more quiet or loud people.
Used Mumble for Global Agenda and Rift, seems fine.
My vote goes to Ventrilo due to the voice normalisation, loads of people popping in and out massively increases the risk me getting deafened.

Mumble also has normalisation built in, so that doesn't really put Vent in any better position
Also like you mention with TS, it's all down to codecs...or at least it was with 2

never used vent , but have used ts3 and mumble......my opinion is mumble is better....
Mumble and that's after using Ventrilo for around 5 years.
As to why, the lower latency of Mumble makes it far better. There's literally no delay when someone speaks to when you hear it.
The OSD is nice too
I do miss the admin side of Ventrilo though, it's so much easier adding admins/making channels.

Mumble, best audio quality by far in my experience
