Neap 0.4.0

The Atlas Air, and a parametric equaliser for the Stealth Pro II.

Highlights

• Atlas Air support. Neap works with the Turtle Beach Atlas Air on Windows and Linux, and shows only the controls it has.
• A true parametric equaliser. On the Stealth Pro II, the headset's ten bands are no longer fixed: you choose where each one sits, how wide it is and how much it boosts or cuts, and the headset plays the shape as drawn. The old Parametric could only get close to your shape with the ten fixed bands, four adjustments at most. Import AutoEq and Equalizer APO filters, draw the headset's measured sound against a target and fit one to the other, save presets, and keep a shape in a profile. If another app or the headset changes the equaliser, Neap switches back to Bands and keeps your shape.
• A mini panel you set up. Choose its controls, including a new Superhuman Hearing tile and your current profile.
• Sound in the right place. On Windows, when sound or calls go to the wrong device, one button fixes it.
• Linux updates itself, as Windows does.
• Pre-gain, formerly Loudness boost, now goes lower as well as higher, so equaliser boosts have room.

Install on Windows

1. Download Neap-0.4.0-win-x64.zip below. Windows 10 version 2004 or later, 64-bit.
2. Unzip it into a folder you will keep, and run Neap.exe.
3. The download is not signed yet. If Windows says it protected your PC, choose More info, then Run anyway.
4. Make sure Swarm II is not running in the background, and turn off its Autostart in its App Settings. The two apps fight over the headset when both are open.
5. Remove the Waves audio driver: in Windows Settings, under Apps, uninstall Turtle Beach Audio Driver by Waves Audio Ltd. Neap does not need it.

Install on Linux

1. Download Neap-0.4.0-x86_64.AppImage below, make it runnable (in a terminal, chmod +x Neap-0.4.0-x86_64.AppImage, or in your file manager tick Allow executing as a program), and run it. It needs a desktop with PulseAudio or PipeWire, which almost every one has.
2. If it says it needs FUSE, install libfuse2 from your distribution, or run it as ./Neap.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.
3. The first time, Neap may say it is not allowed to use the headset. Choose Allow access: your system asks for your password once, and the only thing it changes is a small rule file that lets you use the headset.
4. The download is not signed. Check it against the .sha256 file beside it if you like: sha256sum -c on that file.
5. Neap tells you when a newer version is out. Update and restart downloads it, checks it and puts it in place of the old file.

Fixed

• Atlas Air: a steadier connection, and its controls behave as in Swarm II.
• Your settings are safer: a power cut or a locked file no longer loses them.
• Steadier when the headset drops: fewer crashes, and Neap picks up again when it reconnects.
• Easier with a screen reader and keyboard: more controls are named and read out, and focus keeps its place.
• A tidier look: controls line up, switches and lists match, and high contrast is clearer.

Neap 0.4.0.1, test build

A test build, for trying what comes next before it is released. Neap does not offer it as an update, and offers the next release once it is out.

Highlights

• Parametric on the Atlas Air, to try. The Atlas Air gets the same parametric equaliser as the Stealth Pro II. Its firmware has the same controls, but no one has heard a band change on it yet, so this build is for owners willing to try it and say what they hear.

Neap 0.3.0

A redesigned Neap for the Stealth Pro II.

Highlights

• A redesign. Home, Audio and a new Equaliser page are set out afresh, with a flatter, calmer look, a new icon and a typeface of its own that looks the same on Windows and Linux.
• A mini panel by the clock. The mix, the microphone, noise cancellation, spatial sound and the equaliser preset, mid-game, without opening the window.
• See the mix. On Windows, a live meter for each side shows chat speaking and the game's sound as you set it.
• Louder than the headset's maximum. A loudness boost raises the Stealth Pro II's own level, for when it is too quiet even at full volume.
• An equaliser to try things on. Drag the points or use the keyboard, hold Compare to hear the headset flat, and undo any change.
• Profiles for calls. A call app can switch to its profile only while it is using the microphone.
• The microphone follows every mute: the boom arm, the mute button, and the boom microphone going in or out.
• Steadier on Linux. Transmitters are kept from sleeping, and one that goes quiet is brought back.

Added

• A mini panel for mid-game. A click on Neap's icon by the clock opens it: the headset's name and battery, the game and chat mix as a slim slider, tiles for the microphone, noise cancellation and spatial sound, and the equaliser preset. A press turns a tile off, or back on the way it was last on, and the arrow in its corner lists its choices. Spatial sound offers what the system has, and is left out where it has none. The panel closes on Escape or a click elsewhere, and "Open Neap", on it and on the icon's menu, opens the window. A switch in Settings turns the panel off; a click on the icon then opens the window.
• Live levels for the mix. On Windows, the game and chat card shows a meter for each side beside the dial, with the level the mix sets, so you can see chat speaking and the game's sound as you set the mix. The meters stop while the window is behind, and are left out when animation is off. When the chat wheel moves the dial, the dial glides to its place.
• A loudness boost on the Audio page raises the Stealth Pro II's own level, so everything through the dock plays louder, for when the headset is too quiet even at full volume. It starts at +0 dB, is saved on the headset, and only the Stealth Pro II shows it.
• The equaliser is easier to try things on. Points show they can be dragged: a resize cursor, a halo and a larger point under the pointer, and a bubble with the value while one is moved. The curve takes the keyboard, with Left and Right to choose a band and Up and Down to move it, and Shift for a bigger step. Compare plays the headset flat for as long as you hold it and puts your curve back when you let go. Undo and Redo, or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y, step back through the edits made since the page was opened. The curve grows with the window and shows a dB scale, and the part of your curve the headset can't reach is shaded grey and named in the legend.
• An app given to a profile can switch to it only while it's using the microphone, rather than whenever it's open. A profile for Teams calls comes on as a call starts, and the default comes back when it ends.
• On its cable alone, where the headset sends nothing from its chat wheel, the mix says so, with what still moves it.
• With a headset whose settings Neap only reads, Home says so, rather than leaving its controls greyed out without a word.
• A recording lists each change Neap sends to the headset beside what the headset says, and says why when a change wasn't sent.
• What's new is always in Settings, beside Neap's version. With no update waiting, it shows what's new in the version you have, without going online.

Changed

• A flatter, calmer look. Neutral grey grounds, with one deeper ground in the dark theme; cards, rows, tiles, buttons, fields and switches without outlines or gradients, each a gentle step of fill from what it sits on; smaller text, tighter rows and even spacing on every page, so more of each page fits on screen. Neap's ultraviolet accent marks only what is on, chosen or playing, so a tile that is on is a soft violet tint. High contrast keeps every outline, and the keyboard focus ring is as clear as before.
• The app's text is set in Figtree, and the name beside the mark in Outfit. Both are carried inside the app, so Windows and Linux show the same letters.
• The app icon is redrawn as a split half moon over one wave, and the icon by the clock is its own simpler drawing that follows a light or dark taskbar on Windows.
• The menu and the page each run the full height of the window, and the menu starts in the title bar's row, with the Neap mark and name at its top and the profile switcher under them. When the menu is icons only, just the mark and one profile icon show. The headset's status and the update bar sit at the top of the page.
• Home is redesigned. The headset's readings run across the top, with how it is connected, such as "Through the USB Transmitter". The game and chat mix is one shorter card, with a Keyboard shortcuts link; before any chat app is chosen, its dial shows faded, with the question about chat apps below it. Every other card works the same way: on or off is a switch at the top right, and the card is tinted while it is on; a choice among a few is a row of segments under the name, such as Off, Cancelling and Transparency for noise cancellation, or Off, Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos for spatial sound. Superhuman Hearing gets a switch, with its sound (Legacy, Footsteps or Gunshots) under the name, and the equaliser card a preset choice.
• Audio holds what you hear and your microphone in two sections, with noise cancellation, Superhuman Hearing and spatial sound as choices you can see at once, a link from each section to its equaliser, and every slider ending at the same edge. The microphone settings live here, and Microphone has left the menu.
• The equalisers have a page of their own, Equaliser, with a Game and a Microphone tab, and Home's equaliser card opens it. Your presets sit beside a larger curve, with names on one line, and the test tone is folded away until it is wanted. Discard shows only once the curve has been edited, and a saved preset's delete button only on the row you point at, focus or have chosen. Saving or deleting a preset takes about half the time.
• On Controls, each job for the Mode button and the lower dial is a full-width row you can press anywhere, the chosen one tinted. The dial's first job is named Microphone monitoring volume.
• On Profiles, the profile in use has a soft tint and says "In use" under its name, following a switch from the menu or by an app starting as it happens, and New profile sits beside the page's title. A screen reader hears each profile's apps, and whether it is in use, on the button that changes its apps.
• Sliders are the system toolkit's own, in Neap's colours: a white thumb in the dark theme and a purple one in light. The value beside each slider shows it while dragged.
• The headset is called what its firmware calls it, the name the system and a phone show, such as "Stealth Pro II Xbox", rather than "My Headset". Where the firmware gives no name, it is called by its model, and a headset Neap doesn't recognise, or none at all, is simply "Headset".
• What Neap says is shorter and clearer throughout, with Noise cancellation, Strength, Noise reduction, Loudness boost and Microphone monitoring as names, and every failure says what to do next.
• When your system sends sound to a device the headset isn't listening on, Home's connection line says there's no sound, as the title bar does, rather than naming the transmitter.
• A microphone muted in Windows while the headset itself is live, as Neap's switch does with the boom microphone in, says "Muted on this PC", so nobody waits for the headset's tone or red ring.
• "Keep high-resolution audio" is gone from the Device page, for now. It restarted the headset's sound to turn the Charging Dock's ring purple again after an app used the microphone, and that only works while something is playing. Neap no longer restarts the sound. After a call the ring stays white until something plays, then turns purple by itself. Windows keeps sending the same format while the ring is white, and the ring is the only change seen.
• "Help support another headset" says it's for Turtle Beach headsets that work with Swarm II, as...

2. If it says it needs FUSE, install libfuse2 from your distribution, or run it as ./Neap.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.
3. The first time, Neap may say it is not allowed to use the headset. Choose Allow access: your system asks for your password once, and the only thing it changes is a small rule file that lets you use the headset.

5. Neap tells you when a newer version is out and opens its page; download the new file to replace the old one.

Fixed

• On Linux, the Atlas Air no longer drops to "Not connected" every 24 seconds or so. Neap took in the same report again and again as the transmitter handed it back, and then could not read the headset's replies.
• On Linux, when a transmitter stays silent after Neap has restarted it, Home asks you to unplug it and plug it back in. It used to say the headset was off or out of range, though switching it on could not help.

Neap 0.2.1.8, test build

A test build, for trying what comes next before it is released. Neap does not offer it as an update, and offers the next release once it is out.

5. Neap tells you when a newer version is out and opens its page; download the new file to replace the old one.

Added

• Neap no longer asks the Atlas Air for two groups of settings it does not have.

• The mini panel has spatial sound: Off, Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos, whichever the system offers. It is left out where the system has none, and folds away with the headset's settings when the headset is away.

• A switch on the Settings page turns the mini panel on or off. It is on by default; when it is off, a click on the icon by the clock opens the window, and "Mini panel" is left off the icon's menu.

• The game and chat card shows live levels: a meter for each side beside the dial, with the level the mix sets, so you can see chat speaking and the game's sound as you set the mix. It reads each app's own level, so it follows the mix. Windows only; it stops when the window is behind and is left out when animation is off. When the headset's chat wheel moves the dial, the dial now glides to its place.

• A click on Neap's icon by the clock opens a mini panel for mid-game: the game and chat mix, mute for the microphone, noise cancellation and the equaliser preset, with the headset's name, state and battery above them. It closes on Escape or when you click elsewhere. The window is now "Open Neap" on the icon's menu, and on the panel.

• The equaliser is easier to try things on. Points show they can be dragged: a resize cursor, a halo and a larger point under the pointer, and a bubble with the value while one is moved. The curve takes the keyboard, with Left and Right to choose a band and Up and Down to move it, and Shift for a bigger step. Compare plays the headset flat for as long as you hold it and puts your curve back when you let go. Undo and Redo, or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y, step back through the edits made to the curve since the page was opened.

• The Neap mark and name sit at the top of the menu, above the profile switcher, at the menu's left edge; the window's title is no longer written over them. When the menu is icons only, just the mark shows.

• Every tile on Home has the same layout: icon and switch on top, then the name, then its state, so names line up across a row. On Game and chat, Keyboard shortcuts moves up beside the title.

• The equaliser curve grows with the window and shows a dB scale, preset names stay on one line, and the part of your curve the headset can't reach is shaded grey and named in the legend.

• A max loudness boost on the Audio page raises the Stealth Pro II's own level, so everything through the dock plays louder — for when the headset is too quiet even at full volume. It starts at +0 dB until you move it, is saved on the headset, and is for the Stealth Pro II only: other headsets don't show it.

• An app given to a profile can switch to it only while it's using the microphone, rather than whenever it's open. A profile for Teams calls comes on as a call starts, and the default comes back when it ends.

• Neap recognises the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, finds its speakers and microphone, and shows only what it has: no chat wheel, noise cancellation, lights, Charging Dock or CrossPlay. Its settings can be changed, in testing with an owner of one.

• On the Atlas Air, Superhuman Hearing and voice prompts use the places Swarm II keeps them, rather than the Stealth Pro II's. In testing with an owner of one.

• On the Atlas Air, mic monitoring and the transmitter's light use the places Swarm II keeps them. In testing with an owner of one.

• On a headset with no chat wheel, such as the Atlas Air, a profile saves the game and chat mix and puts it back when it's switched to.

• The game and chat mix on Home links to its keyboard shortcuts.

• A recording lists each change Neap sends to the headset beside what the headset says, and says why when a change wasn't sent.

• What's new is always in Settings, beside Neap's version. With no update waiting, it shows what's new in the version you have, without going online.

Changed

• The game and chat card on Home is shorter: a smaller dial, with each side's level and meter beside it and the choice of chat apps under them.
• Home's cards and the Device page's transmitters are set out so no row ends with one card stretched across it; the Atlas Air's four cards are two rows of two.
• The Atlas Air's voice prompts read as a percentage, like the levels beside them, and the slider keeps one scale from the start.
• Spatial sound and the loudness boost have icons of their own, instead of the volume's speaker.
• Home's headset card says "Through the USB Transmitter" rather than repeating "Connected" from the top of the window, and the Audio page's link to the equaliser takes the same arrow as every other link.
• A microphone muted in Windows while the headset itself is live, as Neap's switch does with the boom microphone in, says "Muted on this PC", so nobody waits for the headset's tone or red ring. A tile in the mini panel wraps a long state to a second line instead of cutting it off.
• Sliders are the system toolkit's own, in Neap's colours: a white thumb in the dark theme and a purple one in light. They no longer show their value in a bubble while dragged; the value beside each slider shows it.
• The mini panel is smaller and quicker: a slim game and chat slider in place of the dial, and tiles for the microphone, noise cancellation and spatial sound. A press turns a tile off, or back on the way it was last on, and the arrow in its corner lists its choices.
• "Help support another headset" says it's for Turtle Beach headsets that work with Swarm II, as the GitHub form and the guide now do: Neap talks to a headset the way Swarm II does, so it can't support others.
• The app's text is set in Figtree, and the name beside the mark in Outfit, in place of Inter. Both are carried inside the app, so Windows and Linux show the same letters. The text is a little rounder and a little wider.
• The menu and the page each run the full height of the window, so the edge between them reaches the top, and the menu starts in the title bar's row. The headset's status and the update bar sit at the top of the page.
• On Profiles, the profile in use now has a soft tint and says "In use" under its name, and a screen reader hears it on the button that changes its apps. It follows a switch from the menu, or by an app starting, as it happens.
• Every card on Home works the same way. On or off is a switch at the top right, and the card is tinted while it is on; a choice among a few is a row of segments under the name. Spatial sound now shows Off, Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos in view instead of opening a list, and Superhuman Hearing gets a switch with its sound (Legacy, Footsteps or Gunshots) under the name, faded until it is on. The microphone is a card with a switch too, instead of a tile you press anywhere.
• On Profiles, a screen reader hears each profile's apps, and when they switch, on the button that changes them.
• Deleting or saving an equaliser preset updates the list in about half the time, and the Delete and Cancel buttons are disabled while it runs.
• In a narrow window, a switch that drops under its name now starts where the name does, instead of floating in the middle of the row.
• Before any chat app is chosen, Home and the mini panel show the game and chat dial faded and disabled, with the question about chat apps below it, rather than leaving the dial out, so it is clear what the card is for.
• Buttons, drop-downs, fields, tabs, switches and tiles lose their outlines for a flat, softer look: each is a gentle step of fill from what it sits on, and icons and dividing lines are quieter. The keyboard focus ring is unchanged, and high contrast keeps every outline. A tile that is on, such as the microphone on Home, is a soft violet tint rather than solid violet, and the panels set into a card, such as the chat app list, are a lighter grey in the light theme.
• On the Equaliser page, Discard shows only once the curve has been edited, and a saved preset's delete button shows only on the row you point at, focus or have chosen.
• On Controls, each job for the Mode button and the lower dial is a full-width row you can press anywhere, the chosen one tinted, and the two cards are the same height. The dial's first job is named Microphone monitoring volume.
• Audio's sliders all end at the same edge, with Master volume's mute...

Added

• On the Atlas Air, the loudness boost, as on the Stealth Pro II. It is new on this headset and still being checked.

• On the Atlas Air, the noise gate is read when Neap starts, where the headset keeps it, so its switch and level show how they are set. Neap no longer asks this headset for two groups of settings it does not have.

• The mini panel has spatial sound: Off, Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos, whichever the system offers. It is left out where the system has none, and folds away with the headset's settings when the headset is away.

• A switch on the Settings page turns the mini panel on or off. It is on by default; when it is off, a click on the icon by the clock opens the window, and "Mini panel" is left off the icon's menu.

• The game and chat card shows live levels: a meter for each side beside the dial, with the level the mix sets, so you can see chat speaking and the game's sound as you set the mix. It reads each app's own level, so it follows the mix. Windows only; it stops when the window is behind and is left out when animation is off. When the headset's chat wheel moves the dial, the dial now glides to its place.

• A click on Neap's icon by the clock opens a mini panel for mid-game: the game and chat mix, mute for the microphone, noise cancellation and the equaliser preset, with the headset's name, state and battery above them. It closes on Escape or when you click elsewhere. The window is now "Open Neap" on the icon's menu, and on the panel.

• The equaliser is easier to try things on. Points show they can be dragged: a resize cursor, a halo and a larger point under the pointer, and a bubble with the value while one is moved. The curve takes the keyboard, with Left and Right to choose a band and Up and Down to move it, and Shift for a bigger step. Compare plays the headset flat for as long as you hold it and puts your curve back when you let go. Undo and Redo, or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y, step back through the edits made to the curve since the page was opened.

• The Neap mark and name sit at the top of the menu, above the profile switcher, at the menu's left edge; the window's title is no longer written over them. When the menu is icons only, just the mark shows.

• Every tile on Home has the same layout: icon and switch on top, then the name, then its state, so names line up across a row. On Game and chat, Keyboard shortcuts moves up beside the title.

• The equaliser curve grows with the window and shows a dB scale, preset names stay on one line, and the part of your curve the headset can't reach is shaded grey and named in the legend.

It starts at +0 dB until you move it, is saved on the headset, and is for the Stealth Pro II only: other headsets don't show it.

• An app given to a profile can switch to it only while it's using the microphone, rather than whenever it's open. A profile for Teams calls comes on as a call starts, and the default comes back when it ends.

• Neap recognises the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, finds its speakers and microphone, and shows only what it has: no chat wheel, noise cancellation, lights, Charging Dock or CrossPlay. Its settings can be changed, in testing with an owner of one.

• On the Atlas Air, Superhuman Hearing and voice prompts use the places Swarm II keeps them, rather than the Stealth Pro II's. In testing with an owner of one.

• On the Atlas Air, mic monitoring and the transmitter's light use the places Swarm II keeps them. In testing with an owner of one.

• On a headset with no chat wheel, such as the Atlas Air, a profile saves the game and chat mix and puts it back when it's switched to.

• The game and chat mix on Home links to its keyboard shortcuts.

• A recording lists each change Neap sends to the headset beside what the headset says, and says why when a change wasn't sent.

• What's new is always in Settings, beside Neap's version. With no update waiting, it shows what's new in the version you have, without going online.

Changed

• The game and chat card on Home is shorter: a smaller dial, with each side's level and meter beside it and the choice of chat apps under them.
• Home's cards and the Device page's transmitters are set out so no row ends with one card stretched across it; the Atlas Air's four cards are two rows of two.
• The Atlas Air's voice prompts read as a percentage, like the levels beside them, and the slider keeps one scale from the start.
• Spatial sound and the loudness boost have icons of their own, instead of the volume's speaker.
• Home's headset card says "Through the USB Transmitter" rather than repeating "Connected" from the top of the window, and the Audio page's link to the equaliser takes the same arrow as every other link.
• A microphone muted in Windows while the headset itself is live, as Neap's switch does with the boom microphone in, says "Muted on this PC", so nobody waits for the headset's tone or red ring. A tile in the mini panel wraps a long state to a second line instead of cutting it off.
• Sliders are the system toolkit's own, in Neap's colours: a white thumb in the dark theme and a purple one in light. They no longer show their value in a bubble while dragged; the value beside each slider shows it.
• The mini panel is smaller and quicker: a slim game and chat slider in place of the dial, and tiles for the microphone, noise cancellation and spatial sound. A press turns a tile off, or back on the way it was last on, and the arrow in its corner lists its choices.
• "Help support another headset" says it's for Turtle Beach headsets that work with Swarm II, as the GitHub form and the guide now do: Neap talks to a headset the way Swarm II does, so it can't support others.
• The app's text is set in Figtree, and the name beside the mark in Outfit, in place of Inter. Both are carried inside the app, so Windows and Linux show the same letters. The text is a little rounder and a little wider.
• The menu and the page each run the full height of the window, so the edge between them reaches the top, and the menu starts in the title bar's row. The headset's status and the update bar sit at the top of the page.
• On Profiles, the profile in use now has a soft tint and says "In use" under its name, and a screen reader hears it on the button that changes its apps. It follows a switch from the menu, or by an app starting, as it happens.
• Every card on Home works the same way. On or off is a switch at the top right, and the card is tinted while it is on; a choice among a few is a row of segments under the name. Spatial sound now shows Off, Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos in view instead of opening a list, and Superhuman Hearing gets a switch with its sound (Legacy, Footsteps or Gunshots) under the name, faded until it is on. The microphone is a card with a switch too, instead of a tile you press anywhere.
• On Profiles, a screen reader hears each profile's apps, and when they switch, on the button that changes them.
• Deleting or saving an equaliser preset updates the list in about half the time, and the Delete and Cancel buttons are disabled while it runs.
• In a narrow window, a switch that drops under its name now starts where the name does, instead of floating in the middle of the row.
• Before any chat app is chosen, Home and the mini panel show the game and chat dial faded and disabled, with the question about chat apps below it, rather than leaving the dial out, so it is clear what the card is for.
• Buttons, drop-downs, fields, tabs, switches and tiles lose their outlines for a flat, softer look: each is a gentle step of fill from what it sits on, and icons and dividing lines are quieter. The keyboard focus ring is unchanged, and high contrast keeps every outline. A tile that is on, such as the microphone on Home, is a soft violet tint rather than solid violet, and the panels set into a card, such as the chat app list, are a lighter grey in the light theme.
• On the Equaliser page, Discard shows only once the curve has been edited, and a saved preset's delete button shows only on the row you point at, focus or have chosen.
• On Controls, each job for the Mode button and ...

Neap 0.2.1.6, test build

A test build, for trying what comes next before it is released. Neap does not offer it as an update, and offers the next release once it is out.

Install on Windows

1. Download Neap-0.2.1.6-win-x64.zip below. Windows 10 version 2004 or later, 64-bit.
2. Unzip it into a folder you will keep, and run Neap.exe.
3. The download is not signed yet. If Windows says it protected your PC, choose More info, then Run anyway.
4. Make sure Swarm II is not running in the background, and turn off its Autostart in its App Settings. The two apps fight over the headset when both are open.
5. Remove the Waves audio driver: in Windows Settings, under Apps, uninstall Turtle Beach Audio Driver by Waves Audio Ltd. Neap does not need it.

Install on Linux

1. Download Neap-0.2.1.6-x86_64.AppImage below, make it runnable (in a terminal, chmod +x Neap-0.2.1.6-x86_64.AppImage, or in your file manager tick Allow executing as a program), and run it. It needs a desktop with PulseAudio or PipeWire, which almost every one has.
2. If it says it needs FUSE, install libfuse2 from your distribution, or run it as ./Neap.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.
3. The first time, Neap may say it is not allowed to use the headset. Choose Allow access: your system asks for your password once, and the only thing it changes is a small rule file that lets you use the headset.
4. The download is not signed. Check it against the .sha256 file beside it if you like: sha256sum -c on that file.
5. Neap tells you when a newer version is out and opens its page; download the new file to replace the old one.

Added

• The mini panel has spatial sound, between noise cancellation and the equaliser: Off, Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos, whichever the system offers. It is left out where the system has none, and it stays when the headset is away, as it does on Home.
• A switch on the Settings page turns the mini panel on or off. It is on by default; when it is off, a click on the icon by the clock opens the window, and "Mini panel" is left off the icon's menu.
• The game and chat dial shows live levels: a thin arc inside the ring for each side, growing from its own end as that side plays, so you can see chat speaking and the game's sound as you set the mix. It reads each app's own level, so it follows the mix. Windows only; it stops when the window is behind or animation is off. When the headset's chat wheel moves the dial, the dial now glides to its place.
• A click on Neap's icon by the clock opens a mini panel for mid-game: the game and chat mix, mute for the microphone, noise cancellation and the equaliser preset, with the headset's name, state and battery above them. It closes on Escape or when you click elsewhere. The window is now "Open Neap" on the icon's menu, and on the panel.
• The equaliser is easier to try things on. Points show they can be dragged: a resize cursor, a halo and a larger point under the pointer, and a bubble with the value while one is moved. The curve takes the keyboard, with Left and Right to choose a band and Up and Down to move it, and Shift for a bigger step. Compare plays the headset flat for as long as you hold it and puts your curve back when you let go. Undo and Redo, or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y, step back through the edits made to the curve since the page was opened.
• The Neap mark and name sit at the top of the menu, above the profile switcher, at the menu's left edge; the window's title is no longer written over them. When the menu is icons only, just the mark shows.
• Every tile on Home has the same layout: icon and switch on top, then the name, then its state, so names line up across a row. On Game and chat, Keyboard shortcuts moves up beside the title.
• The equaliser curve grows with the window and shows a dB scale, preset names stay on one line, and the part of your curve the headset can't reach is shaded grey and named in the legend.
• A max loudness boost on the Audio page raises the Stealth Pro II's own level, so everything through the dock plays louder — for when the headset is too quiet even at full volume. It starts at +0 dB until you move it, is saved on the headset, and is for the Stealth Pro II only: other headsets don't show it.
• An app given to a profile can switch to it only while it's using the microphone, rather than whenever it's open. A profile for Teams calls comes on as a call starts, and the default comes back when it ends.
• Neap recognises the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, finds its speakers and microphone, and shows only what it has: no chat wheel, noise cancellation, lights, Charging Dock or CrossPlay. Its settings can be changed, in testing with an owner of one.
• On the Atlas Air, Superhuman Hearing and voice prompts use the places Swarm II keeps them, rather than the Stealth Pro II's. In testing with an owner of one.
• On the Atlas Air, mic monitoring and the transmitter's light use the places Swarm II keeps them. In testing with an owner of one.

A tile that is on, such as the microphone on Home, is a soft violet tint rather than solid violet, and the panels set into a card, such as the chat app list, are a lighter grey in the light theme.
• On the Equaliser page, Discard shows only once the curve has been edited, and a saved preset's delete button shows only on the row you point at, focus or have chosen.
• On Controls, each job for the Mode button and the lower dial is a full-width row you can press anywhere, the chosen one tinted, and the two cards are the same height. The dial's first job is named Microphone monitoring volume.
• Audio's sliders all end at the same edge, with Master volume's mute beside the slider's line instead of shortening it.
• Start when you sign in says why when it can't be changed, as in a practice run.
• Home is redesigned: the headset's readings across the top, Game and chat as one card with a Keyboard shortcuts link, and tiles that show how they work, such as a switch for the microphone, Off, Cancelling and Transparency for noise cancellation, and a preset choice on the equaliser.
• Audio holds what you hear and your microphone in two sections, with noise cancellation, Superhuman Hearing and spatial sound as choices you can see at once, and a link from each section to its equaliser.
• The Equaliser page lists your presets beside a larger curve, with Game and Microphone as tabs and the test tone folded away until it is wanted.
• Clearer words: Noise cancellation, Strength, Noise reduction, Loudness boost and Microphone monitoring, and every failure says what to do next.
• The profile switcher sits at the top of the left menu, and becomes one profile icon when the menu shows icons only.
• The equalisers have a page of their own, Equaliser, with a Game and a Microphone tab. Home's equaliser tile opens it.
• The microphone settings are on the Audio page, and Microphone has left the menu.
• A stronger look: an ultraviolet accent in both themes, and in the dark theme a deeper, single ground behind everything.
• In a small window, such as the Steam Deck's, text, rows and the menu step up a size so they are easier to read and touch.
• The app icon is redrawn as a split half moon over one wave, and the icon by the clock is its own simpler drawing that follows a light or dark taskbar on Windows.
• A calmer, more compact look: neutral grey backgrounds in place of the violet-tinted ones, flat panels w...

Fixed

• On the Atlas Air, the master volume no longer jumps to 100% and back as it is moved, from the slider or the headset's wheel.
• The volume and microphone sliders no longer jump back while they are moved. The headset reports each level a moment late, and a late report pulled the slider back, then forward again. They now leave the headset's reports alone for a moment after a change.
• On the Atlas Air, Bluetooth says whether the headset is listening over it. It used to say "Connected" on the transmitter and "Not connected" on Bluetooth.
• On the Atlas Air, profiles no longer stay on "Reading the headset's settings…". They wait only for settings the headset has.
• A profile saved on one headset no longer shows as changed on another that lacks some of its settings, and saving over it keeps them.
• On the Atlas Air, AI noise reduction is no longer offered. The headset doesn't have it, and the switch was changing its mic monitoring level.
• On the Atlas Air, voice prompts go from 0 to 15, as in Swarm II, so every step changes how loud they are.
• Home calls the Atlas Air "Atlas Air", as Swarm II does, rather than the name it holds. With nothing connected, it says "Headset" rather than "Stealth Pro II".
• On Linux, a headset that seems to say nothing is also listened for where Linux keeps what the headset sends unasked. If it still says nothing, the log says what arrived there.
• On Linux, Neap waits for the headset's replies at the same pace as on Windows, rather than asking about four times as often.
• On Linux, a transmitter that stays silent is restarted once, as if it had been unplugged and plugged back in, with Neap listening as it comes back. Some transmitters answer only if something has listened since they were plugged in. Neap asks for permission once more where it was allowed before this.
• What the headset reports, under Device, can be selected and copied, and a Copy button puts all of it on the clipboard.
• Settings and recordings show a test build's full version, such as 0.2.1.1, rather than the release it follows.
• When a transmitter opens but the headset gives no answer, the log and any recording say so, rather than leaving "Quiet" unexplained.
• When a transmitter opens and the headset gives no answer, the log says what was tried, and the first ask after Neap starts waits longer, in case the answer is only slow.
• Neap no longer changes the settings of a headset it doesn't know, as it always said it wouldn't. It only reads them.
• A recording of another headset now says which functions the headset didn't answer about, rather than counting them as not found, and asks it again before giving up.
• A link in What's new sits in line with the words around it, rather than above them.
• A recording keeps going for well over an hour. It notes a sound level when it changes rather than every second, which filled it after about 37 minutes.
• A recording made on Linux names Linux and its version, rather than calling it Windows, and says once rather than every second that it can't yet tell where sound is going.
