|

**Profile passwords …**| Alt+O, W| Lists every profile alongside its password, so you can view or change any of them in one place.
|

**Manage named peers …**| Alt+O, N| Opens a list of every peer you've given a friendly name to, showing each one's machine name and where and when you last connected to it. Pick one and **Rename (Alt+R** , or F2) to change its name, or **Delete (Alt+D** , or the Del key) to forget it — deleting only drops the name, the peer still connects as normal under its machine name. See the peer-naming notes on the Connectivity tab.

**Reset the default audio device prompt**| Alt+O, R| Brings back the “use only the default audio device?” question if you previously ticked “Don't ask me this again” on it. See Following the Windows default audio device.
|
||||
**Enable / Disable Realtek ASIO**| —| Only shown if a Realtek ASIO driver is installed. Lets you reverse the choice RemSound offered about disabling that driver (Realtek's generic ASIO driver tends to grab the wrong device and clash with your screen reader).
|
||||
**Install RemSound on this PC …** (or **Uninstall …**)| Alt+O, I (Alt+O, U once installed)| Turns the copy you're running into a properly installed Windows app — on the Start menu, with a desktop shortcut, and listed in Windows’ Installed apps — or removes it again. Once it's installed, this item changes to **Uninstall RemSound from this PC**. See Installing RemSound on your PC.

**Preferences …**| Ctrl+P, or Alt+O, P| Opens the Preferences dialog, organised into six tabs (move between them with Ctrl+Tab, or the arrow keys when the tab names have focus): **General** — the profiles folder, accept remote volume commands, UPnP router opening, and two buttons to clear the shared address books: **Clear remembered peers list (Alt+P)** and **Clear remembered applications list (Alt+L)** (each asks you to confirm first; these lists are shared across all your profiles, so clearing empties them everywhere); **Appearance** — **Colour theme (Alt+T)** (Match Windows / Light / Dark; changes only how the window looks, takes effect next launch, no effect on the screen reader), “Show the volume, pan and EQ for peers tab” (on by default; hides the Volume, pan and EQ for peers tab if you untick it), **Tab order (Alt+O)** — a list of the window's tabs with **Move up (Alt+U)** and **Move down (Alt+N)** buttons to reorder them, and two toggles to **enable the Discovered (Alt+D)** and **Remembered (Alt+R)** peer lists on the Connectivity tab (both on by default — untick one to hide that list); **Audio cues** — the cue list and its sounds (see Audio cue sounds); **Startup behaviour** — start minimised / with Windows / with a specific profile; **Update settings** — the update checks and install options; and **Logging** — enable logs, write logs now, and the log-folder housekeeping (see Logs and diagnostics). Esc or the Close button dismisses it.

### Following the Windows default audio device
|
||||
|
||||
At the very top of the **WASAPI outputs for received audio** list and the **WASAPI audio inputs to send** list there's a special entry: **Use Windows default audio device, follows Windows changes**. Tick it and RemSound uses whatever Windows currently treats as the default — the default speakers for received sound, the default microphone for sending — and, the useful part, it **follows that default on its own**. Make a headset your default and RemSound switches to it; unplug it and RemSound moves back, all without you touching the list.

At the very top of the **WASAPI outputs for received audio** list, the **WASAPI audio outputs to send** list and the **WASAPI audio inputs to send** list there's a special entry: **Use Windows default audio device, follows Windows changes**. Tick it and RemSound uses whatever Windows currently treats as the default — the default speakers for received sound, the default output for what you send, the default microphone for input — and, the useful part, it **follows that default on its own**. Make a headset your default and RemSound switches to it; unplug it and RemSound moves back, all without you touching the list.
|
||||
|
||||
It works alongside the specific devices: tick the default entry _and_ particular cards, and the sound plays out of (or is captured from) all of them at once. When you first tick it, RemSound asks whether you'd like to untick the other devices in that list, so you can choose to use only the default — with a “Don't ask me this again” option. If you tick that and later want the question back, use **Options → Reset the default audio device prompt**.
|
||||
Ticking it is **exclusive** : RemSound unticks every specific card in that list and locks them so they can't be re-ticked while the default entry is on. That keeps things unambiguous — in each list you're either following the Windows default or picking specific cards, never a mix. Untick the default entry and the specific cards become available again.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the specific device ticks (which start fresh each session), the “use default audio device” choice is remembered between launches. It's safe to remember because it can never point at the wrong card — it always resolves to whatever Windows is using right now.

Everything lives in the **Service** menu on the menu bar:

1. **Configure service profile …** — opens a small window with two tabs (Connectivity and Audio send) where you choose who to send to (plus a password) and what to send. There is no “send my audio” switch because the service always sends, and there is no audio-quality tab to fiddle with: the service always uses the settings that work best for live streaming (the Opus live-latency codec, small packets, locked to the audio clock), so it just sounds right. This is a separate profile from your normal ones and does not appear in the usual profile list. The **Additional options** button lets you turn the connect/disconnect sounds and the service's own log on or off.

2. **Install service** — registers it with Windows so it starts automatically at every boot. Windows asks for administrator permission (one prompt). Do this once. (When you first install RemSound on a PC, the installer also offers to set the service up for you, so you may have done this already.)

1. **Configure service profile …** — opens a small window with two tabs (Connectivity and Audio send) where you choose who to send to (plus a password) and what to send. On the Audio send tab, the first output choice is **Use Windows default audio device, follows Windows changes** — tick that to send whatever this machine is currently playing and keep following the Windows default if it later changes, rather than pinning one named card. (You can still pick specific devices, or a specific application, exactly as in the normal app.) There is no “send my audio” switch because the service always sends, and there is no audio-quality tab to fiddle with: the service always uses the settings that work best for live streaming (the Opus live-latency codec, small packets, locked to the audio clock), so it just sounds right.

Straight after installing, RemSound asks whether you'd like to **start it now** (otherwise it waits until the next reboot). (When you first install RemSound on a PC, the app installer also offers to set the service up — and start it — for you, so you may have done this already.)
