• Text: Enter text to generate and bind audio, or trigger a function.

See below for how to map a function to a key.

Functions

Functions can be bound to specific keys. Available functions include:

reset():      Clear all of the audio channels
toggle():     Toggle the sound player (disables all commands if toggled off)
pause():      Pause all sounds
unpause():    Unpause all sounds

Enabling Mic Output

To enable microphone output you need to download 2 external programs, VB-Audio Cable and Voicemeeter. Both programs are free and well trusted. Once you run the installers for both programs you will need to do the following steps:

• Go in KeyboardSoundPlayer settings and enable Mic Output
• Open Voicemeeter
• Under Stereo Input 1 select your default mic and make sure the A button is gray
• Under Stereo Input 2 select Cable Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)
• Under HARDWARE OUT go to A1 and then go to MME then select your default speakers
• Now you can minimize Voicemeeter (It must remain running for the mic output to work)
• Now set your audio input device on your game or wherever to Voicemeeter Out B1
• You are now finished!!!

Extra Information

To play a sound when any key is pressed, name the key "all" in keys.json or provide an all.mp3 file. The GUI does not need to stay open for the sound player to function. The player can be shut off using the GUI or by pressing Esc 5 times quickly.
