SoundSwitch​

Highlights​

• Dark mode everywhere — the WinForms settings now follow the Windows dark theme, extended to every remaining screen, tab page, list headers, and a crisper, device-aware tray icon.
• Hotkeys for app rules — assign a keyboard shortcut to any application rule and trigger it without opening the settings (

  ).
• Self-contained installers — both x86 and x64 installers ship with everything bundled. No more runtime downloads, no more install failures on locked-down machines (

  ).
• Banner customization — choose which monitor the banner appears on, and tweak its color and scale to fit your setup.
• Microphone control — pick exactly which device your mic hotkey mutes, with mute banners scoped to the affected device so you always know what happened.

Fixes​

• App rules now persist device info so they keep working when a device ID changes (common with docks and hubs).
• No more phantom update offers when running a nightly build.
• Plus a round of dark-mode polish: readable link colors, light column headers, repainted group headers, and text rendering initialized correctly before the hidden window.
• Website: search restored, changelog excluded from search results, and no more horizontal scrolling on mobile.

Stability release this time: six Sentry-reported crashes fixed, mostly around the notification sound and the mute banners that shipped in 7.4.0.

Strongly advise to update, especially if you use notification sounds on a device that gets unplugged or comes in and out, or mute banners. Some of these hit a big chunk of the user base.

What got fixed​

• Notification sounds don't take the app down anymore when the output device is unplugged, reconfigured, taken in exclusive mode, or rejects the format while the sound plays (the single Sentry fingerprint with ~300 affected users).
• Saving your settings survives a locked configuration file (backup/sync tool, antivirus, second instance): saves go through a temp file and swap atomically instead of crashing Settings.
• Mute banners no longer die when they close themselves (click-to-dismiss, fade-out after click).
• Mute events arriving during app startup are handled instead of crashing an audio thread, and the mute banner state reconciles at startup.
• Device list refresh doesn't throw "Collection was modified" between the cache publication and the mute target lookup anymore.
• And the settings window no longer crashes when the banner scale input receives its 0 default (
