Warning: This version uses a new format for the savefile. A backup will be made when converting. If you want to downgrade to a previous version, you can restore the backup.
New:
- #38 - Add double click action to buttons
- It is now possible to add more than one action to a button or slider
- There is also an option to run them all at once when a button is pressed, or sequentially
- Dials currently only support all at once
- #41 - Dial/Slider values are applied when VoiceMeeter starts
- Dial/Slider values are applied when OBS starts
- #39 - Allow showing the actual volume number (0-100, linear) and additional color settings in overlay
- Dials/sliders can be inverted (combined with multiple commands, this will make it possible to cross-fade, but volume levels aren't useful for that yet)
- The overlay allows showing the actual value (this differs from the slider state when using logarithmic scaling)
- #59 - Additional overlay options (colors, rounding, size and position)
- #45 - Voicemeeter string values are now supported for advanced button actions
- #67 - It's now possible to add a 'dead-zone' (move-start/end) to the dials and sliders which allows better control of multiple items at the same time
- #69 - It's now possible to connect to mqtt. This is a two-way connection for the led's
- #69 - The mqtt option also allows Home Assistant auto-discovery
Fixes:
- Pressing escape when a dialog is open will close the dialog
- Version check is done using the GitHub version api and will notify when a new snapshot is available
- [Linux] #44 - pactl commands are run in English so that their output can be parsed correctly
- [Windows] #57 - The end focussed task command works again
- #58 - VoiceMeeter lowest value is now 60 instead of -inf making it behave better
Fixes within the snapshot: (not relevant when not upgrading from a previous snapshot)
- Commands can be removed again
- Commands that are not supported or not enabled are not shown
New:
- [Windows] There is now also an advanced toggle that allows changing the media/communication devices through toggles
- There is now a slider for device brightness. This will apply to all device options. It's also possible to adjust the device brightness via a knob/slider.
- #22 - Mute override colors also work when controlling OBS input volume
- Button action to toggle focus mute (from request)
- Some button actions (the default device toggles) now also show overlay hints (from request)
- #26 - Allow switching default device for a process (specific or follow focus)
- #27 - Initial support for OSC (Open Sound Control) protocol
- #29 - VoiceMeeter mute state support
Fixes:
- If it wasn't possible to get the executable for a path, the AppFinder dialog would not show any results
- When the connection to OBS fails with an error, the reconnect attempts will still be done
- [Windows] Some additional checks are being done in the c++ parts so that the application should crash less (or hopefully not at all anymore)
- [Linux] The application doesn't use
pacmdanymore, onlypactlto also be compatible with PipeWire - [Linux] The application can start when no tray extensions are available
- [Linux] It's possible to disable the tray icon by adding
-Ddisable.trayas a command line parameter - [Linux] All audio streams for a process will be changed when a process is controlled
- [Linux] Processes without a PID or Executable can be controlled
- Starting the application again (when skipfilecheck is not specified) will show the main window
- #24 - Controlling Discord via focus volume would also change the microphone volume
- The mute color should not overwrite the color configuration anymore
- The application should start with the profile that was last used (unless a Main profile is specified)
New:
- Added a feature that might fix twitching sliders on faulty hardware (#6)
- [Linux] Allow controlling input volume (#10)
- Allow configuring what the mute override color follows
- OBS Websocket 5 (OBS 28) support. Don't use this version of the software if you are still using OBS 27 or lower without the Websocket 5 plugin.
- [Windows] An option was added to show an overlay when volume is changed and to show icons of the controlled applications in the main ui. From request
Fixes:
- An error would be logged when the mute override service triggered while a device did not use custom colors
- The application names are now case-insensitive for volume changing or muting
- Profile switching using a shortcut is disabled on Linux, it crashed the VM on certain distros
- OBS volume range is now from -97 (-inf db) to 0 instead of -100 to 26
- Removed Roboto font, hoping to fix this issue
New:
- Added button action to set the default device based on the (partial) name. This might be helpful if Windows reconnects devices with different id's.
- The 'Toggle device' action only works for all output or all input devices, not a combination of both
- Allow controlling only Spotify with the media keys instead of any application that is playing sound (fix for #3)
Fixes:
- When connecting a mini or rgb for the first time, an NPE would occur which would prevent the software from finding the device.
- The right-click link to open lighting options was broken, should actually work now.
- Fix the process picker, it gave a ClassCastException
- Allow setting system sounds when the process does not have pid 0
- It's possible to drag audio devices into the Selected Devices list in the Toggle Device button option again (fix for #2)
- Updated JNativeHook so that dead keys keep working (fix for #4)
- Applications that have multiple audio sessions should now be controlled correctly
New:
- When there is no saved profile but there is one from the original software, ask to migrate on startup
- Right clicking a knob or slider opens the lighting dialog
- Middle click already triggered the click action (I did not know that)
- It's now possible to configure a 'Mute override' color which will show a different color when the controlled device is muted
- Volume change actions now have an option to unmute the device/process
- The App Finder dialogs have a filter field
- An option was added to assign a shortcut to profiles to switch between them
- Initial Linux compatibility
- A lot of options probably won't work correctly yet
- The UI seems a bit buggy on Ubuntu 22.04 (flashing/blacking out)
- But volume controlling seems to work mostly for processes, devices and focus volume
Fixes:
- Its possible to configure an alternative profile folder for development purposes
- Controlling OBS volume is now done with db's instead of mul, this gives the slider a better range
New:
- Added options to automatically switch to a profile when other windows get focus
