v3.4 refinements: WASAPI drift correction, startup-dialog sequencing, quick-switch polish, docs
Builds on the v3.4 freeze (dd70613) with the fixes and tuning from live testing,
plus the v3.4 documentation pass.
Audio (receiver):
- Per-device WASAPI drift correction in MultiOutputPlayout. A pull-side resampler
(mirroring SessionPlayout's proven corrector) holds each output device's buffer at
a fixed low depth, cancelling the slow clock drift that made WASAPI peers "lag
apart" over long sessions. Feed-forward clock-ratio measurement plus a gentle
depth-restoring term; the first measurement window is discarded because WASAPI
start-up priming poisons it. ASIO already self-corrected; this brings WASAPI level.
- Output device buffer requested at 5 ms (WASAPI clamps it up to the device's minimum
period, ~10 ms) instead of 15 ms, since the corrector keeps it fed — a free saving.
UI / accessibility (MainForm, Program):
- Startup notices (what's-new About box, Realtek warning) now run one at a time via a
single sequence instead of separate BeginInvokes, so they no longer stack into
nested modals that couldn't be closed. The loading splash is skipped for a
tray-bound quick switch.
- Quick profile switch keeps RemSound in the tray if it was there, and plays the
switch cue immediately on click.
- Profile-switch cue now plays on click for every switch path (recent menu, quick
switch, File > Open) and no longer on a fresh start into the first profile. It was
also previously dead on the rebuilt form (pendingProfile was nulled first).
- Realtek ASIO toggle's accessible name now reads "Enable"/"Disable" to match the
visible text, instead of "Toggle" (screen reader read the wrong word).
Docs (plain English):
- RELEASE_NOTES.md: v3.4 entry.
- About dialog: v3.4 "what's new".
- readme.html (the canonical bundled manual): quick switch, the hotkey read-outs, the
new profile-menu-open cue, Realtek auto-detect/disable, and the config-folder path.
- MANUAL.md regenerated from readme.html via sync-manual.py so the two stay in sync.

RemSound v3.4
|
||||
|
||||
Quick profile switch: a new global hotkey pops up a
|
||||
list of all your profiles from anywhere — even when
|
||||
RemSound is in the system tray. Arrow to one, press
|
||||
Enter, and it switches straight away. It marks the
|
||||
profile you're on, plays a sound as the list opens
|
||||
and again when you switch, and stays in the tray if
|
||||
that's where it was. Unset by default; give it a key
|
||||
under Options → Keyboard shortcuts.
|
||||
|
||||
A safety net for the Realtek ASIO driver, which leaks
|
||||
Windows resources and can make audio unstable: RemSound
|
||||
now spots it on startup and offers, just once, to
|
||||
disable it. Re-enable or disable it any time from the
|
||||
Options menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Your screen reader now reads out global hotkeys when
|
||||
you move over the menu item or control they're tied to,
|
||||
so you can learn your shortcuts just by arrowing around
|
||||
— no need to open the shortcuts dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
Smoother long sessions on WASAPI: two machines' sound
|
||||
clocks drift apart by a hair over time, which slowly
|
||||
added delay. RemSound now corrects that continuously,
|
||||
so a WASAPI link stays as tight after three hours as it
|
||||
was at the start. (ASIO already kept itself in step.)
|
||||
|
||||
Also: a new "profile menu open" cue; the profile-switch
|
||||
cue now plays the instant you switch, and no longer on
|
||||
a fresh start; faster reaction when you plug or unplug a
|
||||
device; and your settings now tuck into a "config"
|
||||
folder, moved there automatically the first time you
|
||||
run this version.
