Soundpad News

The changes include:

- Fixed issue with forbidden characters when saving the sound list. This bug allowed sound files with such characters in their tag (artist or title) to make the entire sound list unreadable.

Many people asked for it and as we didn't come to implement it directly into Soundpad, our buddy Nikodem Jaworski, the developer of Meowpad, decided to take matters into his own hands.

We are proud to present his free open source app, with which you can play TTS phrases in Soundpad.

Try it yourself: Text-To-Speech for Soundpad.

The changes include:

- Updated installer to handle the installation differently on Acer Aspire notebooks with Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and a Realtek audio device. This fixes a critical issue, where the microphone became muted after Soundpad was installed.
- Added manufacturer and model name to the troubleshooting report.

The changes include:

- Fixed autostart option not being shown in certain cases.
- Autostart is now removed upon uninstallation.
- Fixed: Using F2 as hotkey for playing a file was not blocked in the sound category view. Pressing F2 played the file and opened the edit dialog when a category had focus.
- Fixed minor display bug in hotkey dialog when removing a hotkey by pressing Del.

The changes include:

- Fixed regression as of v3.0.0: jump backward and forward by special hotkeys and seeking when paused didn't work.
- Command line -rc DoStartRecording() now opens the sound recorder if it was closed.
- The recording finished notification is played when stopping a recording by command line -rc DoStopRecording() or if the configured maximum recording time is reached.
