Profiles

Using profiles, it is possible to switch to a specific device when a condition occurs. Profiles can be defined for the following purposes:

• 💫 Application profile

When a application is focused, the sound settings are switched based on the profile. For example create a profile for Spotify to only play music on your speaker, while your favorite game is using your headset.

• ⌨️ Hot key profile

When a hot key combination is pressed, the sound settings are switched based on the profile. For example you define a special combination to switch your playback device to your television.

This version is the first one officially signed by a recognized certificate agency.

No need for the self-certificate anymore.
For now on, SoundSwitch will be double signed. Once by my self-signed cert, and then by the other certificate of Certum.

After a couple of versions of doing that, I'll stop signing it with my self-sign certificate.

Moreover, this version introduces translation corrections and 2 new languages, Russian and Polish.

This version is a major step toward having a full interface for you to be able to set which application should use witch endpoint directly from SoundSwitch.

This version contains a huge refactoring of the way the default device is switched. Before I was relying on another lib I wrote in C++, I've removed all the code linked to this lib.

In other words, now SoundSwitch is a full C# application without any C++. This let me drop the need for Visual Redist C++ 2017.

This version should also work with the latest version of Windows 10.
