🎉 Sound Visualizer v1.1 Release

We are incredibly excited to announce the official release of Sound Visualizer v1.1!

Sound Visualizer is a real-time, hardware-accelerated audio visualization and AI sound analysis overlay engine. It captures your system's audio and translates it into stunning graphic overlays directly on your screen. Powered by WPF and featuring an integrated AI sound classifier using ONNX Runtime (YAMNet), it provides not only beautiful audio reactivity but also tactical awareness by detecting in-game audio events like gunshots, speech, and ambient sounds.

Whether you are a deaf/hard-of-hearing player seeking critical visual feedback for audio cues, a competitive gamer looking for an extra edge, or simply a music lover who wants a sleek desktop overlay, v1.1 delivers a premium, highly optimized experience.

🌟 What's New in v1.1

🤖 AI Sound Classification (Powered by YAMNet & ONNX)

  • Real-time Audio Event Detection: Integrated an advanced AI sound classifier capable of detecting Speech, Gunshots, and Ambient Background noises.
  • Visual Feedback: Each detected sound category now maps to specific UI color cues, providing critical accessibility for deaf/hard-of-hearing users and enhanced tactical awareness for gamers.

🔊 Advanced 7.1 Surround & "Picture Frame" Rendering

  • Perfected 7.1 Visualization: The wave animations now flow strictly along the screen's rectangular edges without distortion.
  • Sharp Corner Joints: Overhauled the rendering logic to maintain sharp 90-degree corners without rounded artifacts or geometry overlaps, retaining fluid and organic movement even at 120+ FPS.
  • Hardware-Aware: Seamlessly detects and maps to 2.0 Stereo, 5.1, and 7.1 Surround setups.

⚡ Extreme Performance Optimization (Zero-Allocation)

  • GC-Free Rendering: Completely optimized the high-FPS rendering loop to minimize per-frame memory allocations by caching UI objects and geometry path points.
  • CPU/Memory Reduction: Throttled hotkey monitoring to reduce P/Invoke overhead and optimized HUD text updates to prevent redundant string processing, ensuring zero impact on your game's framerate.

🎨 Refined UI/UX & Real-time Overlay Editor

  • Independent Opacity Controls: Finalized the "Intensity As Opacity" feature with dedicated maximum opacity sliders for all visualization modes (Wave, Pad, Circle, Outline). Users can now control fixed sizing and transparency limits independently without conflicts.
  • Overlay Interaction Fixes: Resolved logic issues where dragging boundaries past the limit would invert or shrink the UI. The "Opacity Fixed Size" and "Wave Intensity" settings now properly clamp at 100%.
  • Professional Polish: Standardized UI text elements, removed emojis for a cleaner look, and eliminated legacy external brand references to establish a neutral, professional aesthetic.

🎨 Visualization Modes

  • 🌊 Wave Mode: Dynamic audio waveforms scaling by sound intensity.
  • ⭕ Circle Ripple Mode: Circular EQ and ripples based on core radius and frequency.
  • 🎛 Pad Mode: Spatial frequency spectrum mapped to 2.0 / 5.1 / 7.1 grids.
  • 🔲 Outline Mode: Perimeter lighting waves rendered along the screen borders.

🌐 Localization & Accessibility

  • 8 Languages Supported: Full support for English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.
  • On-the-fly Toggles: Use F2 (Sound Mode), F3 (Visualizer Mode), and F4 (Overlay Editor) to adjust settings seamlessly without minimizing full-screen applications.
