Close detail of cue-grid geometry used as the soundboard mark.
Cue detail for the cue-grid used across this install guide. Cue Bind original cue-grid geometry (original geometry, not the upstream app icon).

Tag the current release on Soundux/Soundux does not ship a macOS dmg or pkg. Upstream README build instructions cover Linux and Windows, not a signed Mac soundboard installer. This page exists so searchers get an honest answer instead of a fake download button.

What the release list shows

Open the [the current release release](https://github.com/Soundux/Soundux/releases/tag/the current release) and read every asset name. You will see Windows setup and portable exes plus Linux packages. You will not see a macOS row on that verified tag. Filename fiction from blogs does not create a binary.

Practical alternatives

Use a Windows or Linux machine for the GPL soundboard path this guide maps. Many booths already pair a Windows stream PC with a Mac editor. Put Soundux on the Windows box that owns the call app, and keep timelines on the Mac. That split is clearer than forcing an unsupported installer.

If you must stay Mac-only, choose a different Mac-native tool rather than a hijacked SEO page promising Soundux for macOS. Honesty about missing assets is part of safe soundboard practice.

Compilation caution

Upstream documents Linux and Windows compilation toolchains. A macOS compile is UNVERIFIED here and not treated as a supported door. This guide will not publish pretend brew commands that were not verified.

Windows: /install-soundboard-windows. Linux: /install-soundboard-linux. Safe download: /soundboard-download-safe. Chooser: /soundboard-for-this-computer.

Rewrite watch

Upstream discusses a major rewrite. Future tags might add assets. Until a clearly named macOS file appears on Soundux/Soundux Releases, assume it does not exist for production soundboard desks.

Operator notes

Write the install door on the machine card beside the OS version. Prefer GitHub Releases filenames or Flathub id io.github.Soundux when teammates ask where the binary came from. Skip ranking portals that cannot show those names.

Prove one routed cue after every change. Hotkeys and skins can wait until playback is boring and reliable on the desk you actually stream from.

If a helper proposes a faster mirror, ask for the exact asset name. Decline anything that is not on Soundux/Soundux Releases or a verified package id. That habit keeps unwanted adware off booth PCs.

Booth checklist

Confirm the binary name, the sink or passthrough target, and one proof play before showtime. Keep Voicemod only if marketplace voices remain required; otherwise let the GPL path own simple pads.

Desk reminder

  • Keep the soundboard install door written beside the OS version.
  • Prefer Soundux/Soundux Releases or Flathub io.github.Soundux.
  • Prove one routed cue after every change before you trust hotkeys on stream night.

Reimage notes

  • Store the Releases URL beside the cue folder path.
  • Survive Windows feature updates without a frantic search for the soundboard binary.

Notes for install soundboard macos

  • Document the install door beside the OS version.
  • Prefer Soundux/Soundux Releases filenames or Flathub id io.github.Soundux.
  • Prove one routed cue after every change so the soundboard path stays trustworthy on shared desks.

Show-night checklist

  • Confirm the soundboard binary name still matches Releases or Flathub before doors open.
  • Confirm the cable or passthrough target.
  • Play one two-second cue into headphones, then into the call app, then stop it.
  • Hand the booth to talent only after that proof.

If anything fails, do not download a random mirror. Return to /soundboard-download-safe and /soundboard-for-this-computer.

Voicemod coexistence

Keep Voicemod available only when marketplace voices remain part of the show. For simple pads, let the GPL soundboard own the grid and retire duplicate hotkeys after the side-by-side week documented on /switch-from-voicemod.

Update rehearsal

  • Rehearse updates with the same door used at install time.
  • Do not invent a new download under pressure for the next soundboard bump.

Frequently asked questions

Is this soundboard guide free to follow?

Yes. Cue Bind publishes soundboard install steps without a paywall so anyone can follow the path. Soundux itself ships under GPL-3.0. Audio files you import remain your responsibility and stay separate from the program licence.

Where should I download this soundboard app?

Prefer soundux-*-windows-setup.exe from GitHub Releases for Soundux/Soundux on Windows, or use winget id Soundux.Soundux.Portable for the portable exe, or Flatpak io.github.Soundux on Linux when you already trust those managers.

Does this soundboard work offline after install?

Yes for local pads and playback after the program is installed on the machine. You still need network access for the first setup, portable, Flatpak, or package download from the trusted door.
