OpenChatMix 2.6.0

Media gets a volume of its own, the equalizers get undo, and the group meters stop showing sound that
isn't there.

Highlights

  • Media volume and meter. The Media group has a volume slider and a level meter on the Mixer tab,
    like Game and Chat. Its apps still ignore ChatMix.
  • Undo for the equalizers. Ctrl + Z undoes a change on the Equalizer and Headset tabs,
    Ctrl + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Z redoes it, up to 100 steps. A drag is one step; in a number field the
    typing is undone first.
  • Leave an app out of ChatMix. The trash icon works in every group. In Game it leaves the app out
    of ChatMix: it keeps its own volume and belongs to no group, and in virtual device mode it plays past
    the virtual devices. Add in any group lists it as "out of ChatMix" and brings it back. The trash icon
    also shows right away next to an app you just added by hand.
  • Meters that show what really plays, without virtual devices. Apps that record the headset's
    sound, such as OBS capturing desktop audio or Discord in a call, made their group's meter show
    everything that played: with OBS in Game, Discord in Chat and music in Media, all three meters moved
    at once. Each app's meter now listens only to what that app plays. The same fix stops ducking from
    lowering Game for any sound while Discord is in a call, and stops GG's Discord screen from staying up
    for music.
  • Ctrl + A in a text field keeps the text selected, so typing replaces it.

The full list is in CHANGELOG.md.

Upgrading

  • Earlier versions find this one on their own once a day (Settings → Updates), download it, check it
    against SHA256SUMS.txt and restart. You can also replace OpenChatMix.exe by hand.
  • Your settings carry over.

Files

  • OpenChatMix.exe: the app, portable.
  • OpenChatMix-2.6.0-win-x64.zip: the app with both READMEs, the license and the third-party notices.
  • DeepFilterNet-OpenChatMix.dll: the optional AI noise suppression plugin, built from tools/deepfilter.
  • DeepFilterNet-NOTICES.txt: the licenses of DeepFilterNet and the Rust crates inside the plugin.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt: checksums.

The binaries are not code-signed, so SmartScreen may ask for confirmation on the first run, and some
antivirus programs may flag a new, unsigned program; these are false positives. Compare the files with
SHA256SUMS.txt, read the source code or build them yourself. Third-party code (RNNoise, the VST 3 SDK
interfaces, DeepFilterNet in the plugin) is listed in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
