  • Keep game volume during calls (Windows): by default Windows turns every other sound down 80% while Discord, Teams
    or Zoom has a call open, so your game gets quiet whenever a friend talks. A new switch in Settings → Audio devices
    stops that.

  • DeepFilterNet on any PC:

    • If your graphics card can't run DeepFilterNet, it now runs on the CPU instead of dropping to RNNoise.
    • If your CPU is too slow for it in real time, StreamLite switches to RNNoise rather than sound choppy.

    The Microphone page says when either happens. Setting STREAMLITE_NO_GPU=1 keeps the AI off the graphics card
    entirely.

  • Mic hints:

    • StreamLite warns when your mic clips before it gets the sound, and says where to turn the gain down.
    • On Linux it also tells you when you're using a Bluetooth headset mic.

  • Copy details: Settings → Updates and bug reports → Copy details puts your version, system, StreamLite's status
    and your audio devices on the clipboard for a bug report, with your user name taken out. On Linux, run
    streamlite --details.

  • 3D audio now goes back to your own headphones when you plug them in again after a fallback.
