What’s new in Wave Link 1.9?

👂 Stream Mix to hardware

You can now play your Stream Mix through a hardware device like headphones, capture cards, and speakers. This makes dual-PC setups a breeze—just select your capture card as the audio output.

🔁 Back up your audio settings

Lost your settings? No worries. Wave Link now automatically backs up your audio configuration—including effect settings—which can be restored at any time. For extra peace of mind, you can even save custom backups.
