I'm having some issues with the latest mumble snap package (version 1.5.0).
Before I get into describing/troubleshooting those specific problems, I think the overall issue is that Mumble 1.5.0 is still in RC/prerelease state. It should not have been published to the stable channel for the snap package yet.
What should have happened?
The stable snap package should remain on version 1.4.287 until mumble officially releases 1.5.0 as a stable build, not an RC build.

**About Mumble**
Mumble is a free, open source, low latency, high quality voice chat
application.
Mumble was the first VoIP application to establish true low latency voice
communication over a decade ago. But low latency and gaming are not the
only use cases it shines in.
We heard from users who record podcasts with our multi-channel audio
recorder, players seeking realism with our positional audio in games, Eve
Online players with huge communities of over 100 simultaneous voice
participants (I bet they make good use of our extensive permission system
😄), the competitive Team Fortress 2 community making us their required
voice communication platform, hobby radio transmission users, and a variety
of workplaces adapting Mumble to fit their needs - be it on-head mobile
devices or communicating across countries or into airplanes.
Administrators appreciate Mumble for being able to self host and have
control over data security and privacy. Some make use of the extensive
permission system for complex scenarios (for example separating two groups
but leaders being able to talk to both). Some love to provide their users
with additional functionality with scripts making use of server APIs, or
host music bots and the like that connect to the server. Those that have an
existing user database often make use of authenticators to allow
authenticating with existing account login data.
**Features for end-users**
- Low-latency - great for talking and gaming
- Stay private and secure: always encrypted communication and
public/private-key authentication by default.
- Recognize friends across servers
- For gamers: In-game Overlay - see who is talking, FPS and the current
time
- For gamers: Positional audio - hear the players from where they are
located in-game
- Wizards to guide you through setup, like configuring your microphone
**Features for administrators**
- Libre software - no licensing hassle, caveats and limitations
- Open Source - open in security and technology, and open to extendibility
- Extensive user permission system (ACL)
- Extendible through Ice protocols
- Web interfaces - free choice of several community free software projects
- Channel viewers - even without direct Ice access, if the hoster provides
the CVP, easily set up your channel viewer of choice
- Authenticators - to allow users to authenticate against an existing user
database
- Custom chat commands and context (right click) menu entries
