Would #178 resolve this issue?

Not without changes to src/mumble/mumble.appcompat.manifest. Specifically, it looks like we need to add

<supportedOS Id="{1f676c76-80e1-4239-95bb-83d0f6d0da78}"/>

or else 8.1 will identify as 8. We should probably also add

<supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"/>

just to clarify that 8.0 is supported as well. I think adding comments for which OS each GUID corresponds to would probably also be a good idea.

Of course, someone who actually has a Win 8.1 machine should test it and make sure Mumble really is compatible :)

I'm running Windows 8.1 and Mumble works just fine ;)

Same here 😉

I wasn't overly concerned, but neither did I want to claim something I can't test. Thanks for the confirmation.

[mkrautz]

Thanks @tipabu.

I've pushed your change as 1eefaab.

Closing this bug.

I just did a fresh install of windows 8.1, and immediately installed Mumble. The audio wizard produces no sound, and I have my USB headset selected as the output device. I am able to hear all other audio applications on the headphones and even in Mumble I am able to hear the messages spoken. Just no live audio.
