✨ Overview

Soundboard lets you trigger sounds during calls, streams, and games — and route both your soundboard audio and your filtered voice into any app (Discord, Teams, OBS, games…) via a virtual microphone. It ships with a slick Aurora glass UI, a live spectrum visualizer, six real-time voice effects, and a guided first-launch setup in Italian, English, and Spanish.

Built as a three-process Electron app with a custom media:// protocol and a dual–AudioContext engine for independent playback and monitor routing.

🎚️ How it works

Soundboard runs two independent audio paths plus an optional mic-effects engine, so what you hear and what other apps hear can be routed to different devices.

Loading

• Output device — where the soundboard plays (your speakers/headphones).
• App input (VB-Cable) — a virtual microphone that other apps select as their mic, so they hear your soundboard and your effected voice.
• Monitor — an optional second device so you hear your own filtered voice in your headphones.
• Amplifier — a shared gain stage that can boost both paths above 100%.

💡 To use your voice with effects in other apps, install VB-Cable (one click in Settings) and select it as the microphone inside Discord/Teams/OBS.

⬇️ Installation

1. Go to the latest release.
2. Download Soundboard-Setup-x.y.z.exe.
3. Run the installer and pick your install folder.

⚠️ The app is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run. Click More info → Run anyway.

Once installed, the app checks for updates automatically on every launch, downloads them in the background, and prompts you to restart & install.

---

🚀 First launch

A guided two-step wizard runs the first time you open the app:

1. 🌐 Choose your language — Italian, English, or Spanish.
2. 🎤 Set up your microphone — pick your mic, soundboard output, and (optionally) a headphone monitor.

Everything can be changed later from Settings → Audio Routing.
