Soundboard

Soundboard GitHub overview

The Soundux repository is the source of truth for this soundboard guide. Licence, README runtime dependencies, and release binaries all hang off Soundux/Soundux—not off a random mirror that only ranks for the head term.

Repository identity

Canonical repo: github.com/Soundux/Soundux. Homepage: soundux.rocks. Licence file reports GPL-3.0. Topics on the repo include soundboard, Windows, Linux, Flatpak, PipeWire, and VB-CABLE.

Stars and issues are social signals. They do not replace reading the asset names on Releases when you need a genuine soundboard binary for a desk that already distrusts adware wrappers.

Cue Bind cites this repo for filenames and package ids. Publisher copy does not claim to operate upstream. About: about.

What lives in the tree

The README documents runtime dependencies, installation options, and compilation steps for Linux and Windows. Screenshots of dark/light UI, settings, search, passthrough, and grid view live in the companion screenshots repository linked from the README.

  • Releases hold the installers this guide cites for a soundboard desk.
  • README holds PulseAudio/PipeWire and VB-CABLE notes.
  • Issues track bugs and the major rewrite discussion.
  • Actions workflows show Windows, Linux, and Flatpak build status badges.

Contributors and translations appear in the README tables. That community signal still does not replace filename discipline when you download.

Releases versus source builds

Most readers should take a release asset, not compile from source. Source builds matter for packagers and contributors. Compilation steps in the README are UNVERIFIED in this factory session; treat them as upstream documentation, not a timed lab log on your laptop.

Release chooser: releases. Windows path: install on Windows. Linux path: install on Linux.

If you compile anyway, follow upstream dependency lists exactly and expect to bring Webkit2gtk, PipeWire headers, and friends on Linux, or MSVC tooling on Windows. This soundboard guide will not pretend those builds were timed here.

Security and reporting

Use the GitHub Security tab on Soundux/Soundux for coordinated disclosure. Prefer official assets so checksum conversations stay attached to the real project. Safety narrative: is it safe.

When a friend forwards a “cracked soundboard” archive, decline it. Open-source GPL builds already remove the need for shady cracks, and cracked archives are how unwanted malware arrives beside cue packs.

Rewrite status

Upstream notes a major rewrite in progress. This soundboard guide still maps the current release tag because that tag publishes the Windows setup and Linux packages readers need. Re-check Releases before imaging a lab if newer tags change the asset list.

Rewrite tracking does not invalidate honest filenames on the current tag. It only means you should confirm the live asset table before you automate a fleet install script for next season.

How Cue Bind uses the repo

Cue Bind cites Soundux/Soundux for filenames, licence, and package ids. Editorial rules: how we verify. Advertising stance: advertising disclosure.

If a download page cannot link back to Soundux/Soundux Releases with matching filenames, it is not the GitHub door this soundboard guide trusts.

Package verification for winget Portable and Flathub ids lives in download safe. Comparison with freemium voice seats lives in vs Voicemod.

Next steps

Grab the right file from releases, follow download safe, then finish first hour. Machine chooser: for this computer.

Keep the repo URL beside the machine ticket so future soundboard updates start from the same org and name, not from a bookmark titled only with the head keyword. That boring habit is how stream desks survive reimages without rediscovering adware mirrors every quarter.

Reading badges without cargo-culting

Build badges on the README show Windows, Linux, and Flatpak workflow status. Green badges help, but they still do not replace opening the Releases asset list when you need a soundboard binary tonight. Treat badges as health signals for contributors, not as a download button substitute.

Discord and Matrix links in the README are community doors. They are useful when routing fails after install, yet they are not an alternate binary host. Keep installs on Releases or Flathub even when a helpful stranger offers a personal mirror.

Weblate translation badges explain localization progress. A translated UI does not change the GPL-3.0 licence or the filename rules this soundboard guide enforces for Windows setup and Linux packages.

Forks and lookalike names

Search results sometimes surface forks that copy the README. Confirm the org is Soundux and the repo name matches before you trust a Releases list. A fork can be legitimate packaging work, but this guide’s filenames and winget Portable YAML point at the canonical Soundux/Soundux the current release tag assets.

When in doubt, start from https://github.com/Soundux/Soundux and click Releases in the right sidebar. That click path is harder to spoof than a search ad promising the best soundboard installer of the year.
