Soundboard 1.3.1

Soundboard v1.3.1

Soundboard v1.3.1 makes sound playback exclusive: only one sound can be audible
at a time.

Highlights

• Triggering a sound now immediately stops the sound that is currently playing
  and starts the new one from its beginning.
• Retriggering the same sound restarts it from the beginning, as before.
• Clicking a tile and pressing a global hotkey behave identically, because both
  paths share the single playback entry point in the audio engine.
• The replaced session is removed from the virtual-microphone mix and the
  optional monitor mix and then disposed, so repeated switching does not leak
  decoders or audio resources.
• Triggering a sound while playback is paused replaces the paused session and
  clears the paused state, so the new sound starts audible.

Compatibility

Microphone passthrough and monitoring are unchanged: the physical microphone is
never paused, muted, or attenuated by this change. Audio routing, device
selection, Voice Priority, per-sound and master volume, hotkey registration,
trimming and fades, and the installer retain their existing behavior. Existing
libraries and settings remain compatible without a schema change.

Users who relied on layering several sounds at once will notice the behavior
change: earlier versions mixed different sounds concurrently.

Installation options

• Soundboard-Setup-v1.3.1-win-x64.exe is the per-user installer. Its normal
  destination is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Soundboard.
• Soundboard-v1.3.1-win-x64-portable.zip is the self-contained portable
  release.

Both options preserve user settings, the sound library, hotkeys, and managed
audio under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Soundboard.

Validation

The Release x64 application build completed with zero warnings and errors.
Package verification checks the release versions, artifact contents, hashes,
architecture, dependency versions, privacy boundaries, and installer scope.
Audible playback switching, hotkey triggering, monitoring, and Discord
transmission remain manual checks because they require the user's installed
audio devices and applications.
