v2.4.0

Astraeus 2.4.0

New

• A full audio mixer. Every app on every output, with live level meters, its own output device, and the microphone's volume and mute. No virtual audio devices needed.
• Mixer groups. Up to 8, each with a name, color and icon. Set volume, mute and output for the whole group, with each app still adjustable inside it.
• Chat mix. One slider balances your game group against your chat group.
• Ducking. Chosen groups lower automatically while another group plays.
• Mixer profiles. Save the whole mix and switch between profiles from the Mixer or with a shortcut.
• Mixer shortcuts with an on-screen note: Ctrl+Alt+M mutes the mic, Ctrl+Alt+P picks the next profile, Ctrl+Alt+[ and ] move the chat mix, and Ctrl+Alt+1 to 8 mute a group. Turn them on in the Mixer's options.
• Workspaces (experimental). A Tools tile and a pill widget that show your workspaces and switch between them, from a tiling window manager when one is running, otherwise Windows' own virtual desktops. When a supported tiling manager is installed, the tile is added on its own.
• To-do list and server monitor as new tabs on the Tools page. Servers are checked once a minute.
• More tiles: keyboard language, recycle bin, and pending Windows and app updates.
• More pill widgets: workspace, keyboard language, the window in front, and free disk space.
• Visualizer opacity. One slider for how see-through the bars are, on the Media page and in the fullscreen player, shared with HaloBar. It replaces the album art strength slider; the art now shows at full strength.

Better

• The mixer is lighter. It reads levels only while it's open or while a group, ducking or a shortcut needs it.
• Mixer sliders stay visible on every theme, Starfall included.

Note

Workspaces is experimental. Tell us if it misses a workspace change or shows the wrong one.

Note

The executable is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show an "unknown publisher" warning the first time. Click More info → Run anyway.
