Soundboard 1.3.0 keeps your physical microphone clearly audible while sounds play, and adds a real pause for playback.

Voice Priority

  • Automatic microphone-triggered ducking: sounds are lowered while you speak and return to their configured volume when you stop.
  • Only the selected physical microphone is analysed, before it is mixed with soundboard playback, so soundboard audio can never trigger its own ducking. Your microphone keeps its existing unity application gain and is never attenuated.
  • Voice sensitivity: Low (-30 dBFS), Normal (-36 dBFS), High (-42 dBFS), with separate engage and release thresholds so the state does not toggle near the threshold.
  • Ducking strength: Light (-6 dB), Balanced (-12 dB), Strong (-18 dB). Sounds fade down over 50 ms, stay lowered for at least 200 ms, and return over 500 ms.
  • The optional sound-only monitor receives the same reduction, so headphones hear a representative result.
  • Voice Priority is opt-in and stays off after an update. Defaults are Normal sensitivity and Balanced strength. The toggle sits next to the master volume; sensitivity and strength are in Settings.

Pause and resume

  • New Pause sounds / Resume sounds control in the main window.
  • Paused sounds stop advancing through their source data and resume from their exact previous sample position. Trim, fades, per-sound volume, master volume, and concurrent sessions are unaffected.
  • Optional global Pause/Resume playback hotkey, with the existing bare-key support, modifier combinations, duplicate and conflict validation, and persistence. No shortcut is assigned by default.
  • Microphone passthrough, the audio service, and device connections keep running while playback is paused.

Compatibility

Existing libraries and settings remain compatible. Sounds, categories, ordering, favorites, hotkeys, trim and fade settings, per-sound volumes, master volume, device selections, and monitoring settings are unchanged and load without a settings schema change. VB-CABLE routing, concurrent playback, retriggering, one-shot playback, and device recovery behave as before.

Soundboard still does not change Windows volume-mixer or endpoint volume, microphone hardware gain, communication-session ducking, VB-CABLE, Discord, or game settings.

Downloads

  • Soundboard-Setup-v1.3.0-win-x64.exe — per-user installer.
  • Soundboard-v1.3.0-win-x64-portable.zip — self-contained portable release.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt and release-manifest.json for verification.

The application and installer are unsigned; Windows SmartScreen may show an Unknown Publisher warning.

Verification notice

Final functional and in-game verification is left to the user. This release was built and package-verified, but live microphone detection, ducking in Arma Reforger or Discord, pause and resume during real playback, and hotkey registration on your system have not been functionally tested.
