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-0.2.1.9-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-0.2.1.9-x86_64.AppImage below, make it runnable (in a terminal, chmod +x Neap-0.2.1.9-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.

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.
