First launch

What to review when SoundOverlay starts for the first time.

Version note: Exact screens may change before the first public release.

Start with the essentials

On first launch, review detected playback and recording devices before assigning global shortcuts or creating automations.

  1. Confirm the output devices you recognize.
  2. Confirm the input devices you recognize.
  3. Set direct-selection or priority controls.
  4. Test an overlay while on the Windows desktop.
  5. Add one automation and verify its restoration behavior.

Do not create a large set of rules until the basic device changes behave as expected on your PC.
