Download for Windows · Stream Deck plugin · 1.0.0 release notes · Installation

Why is there no portable ZIP download?

Soundboard Maker is distributed as a Windows .exe installer. No portable/ZIP edition is planned.

How do I install the Stream Deck plugin?

The plugin is provided separately as a .streamDeckPlugin file until it is published on Elgato Marketplace. Open it with the Stream Deck software. See Installation.

Is Wave Link required to use Soundboard Maker?

No, not for listening to sounds through headphones or speakers: a standard Windows audio output is enough.

Yes, for sending sounds into your virtual microphone input in Discord, games or voice chat using the setup supported by Soundboard Maker. Use Elgato Wave Link to receive sounds on an output channel, route them to MicrophoneFX, then select that device as the microphone in your voice-chat app. Soundboard Maker does not create its own virtual microphone.

See Play sounds through your microphone.

Can I play and save the same formats?

Not necessarily. The library and players may accept formats that are not available for recording or saving in the editor. Check the choices shown by each feature.

Does the app download updates automatically?

No. It checks releases at launch or through the manual button and can notify you of a new version. You remain in control of downloading and installing it.

Where can I report a bug?

Use GitHub Issues after reading Support. Do not include personal sound files, private screenshots, credentials or tokens.
