Wave Link 2 has reached End of Life. It will still be available for download, but our development focus will be on Wave Link 3 moving forward. We look forward to improve audio for an increasing audience of great creators.

What's new in Wave Link 1.7?
🆕 Play Sound Effects through MicrophoneFX
Using a soundboard is easier than ever. In the Wave Link SFX channel, you'll find a new Route To MicrophoneFX option. When enabled, all audio going into the SFX channel will be routed to MicrophoneFX.
To add sound board SFX to your voice in real-time, simply select MicrophoneFX as the input in Discord, OBS Studio, your game, etc.
Learn how to set up your soundboard.
🆕 Default Device Selection
We've also made switching between different speakers, headsets, and other monitoring devices much easier. Just set Wave Link to output to your default Windows device, and your monitor mix will play through it. Then, when you change your default Windows device, your monitor mix will be routed accordingly.
🛠️ Performance improvements & Bug fixes

- Fixed an issue where Stream Deck + dial actions would break after turning on or restarting your computer.
