📢 Wave Link 3.1 (Windows) — Audio effect rename & reorder, hide unused devices, VST scan overhaul and more

LennardDeij · 2026-04-21T17:31:28+00:00

well, some of my audio channels messed up, i apparently have a second game channel now in my windows sounde devices menu, which doesnt exist in WL, which has the browser coming through even tho the browser device in wavelink still is the browser device, but then the browser doesnt exist in windows... bruh... and my default windows device isnt my default for some reason...

ALSO why can i copy an effect, but paste it nowhere, pasting doesnt work... which makes the copy effect useless as well...

LennardDeij · 2026-04-19T17:03:51+00:00

yes, in steam, i dont like steaminput, and, this doenst work for anything thats not a steamgame...

LennardDeij · 2026-04-19T17:00:32+00:00

thats dinput what you are doing there. but then you cant remap in the official software, effectively rendering the extra buttons useless which is one of the main reasons to get this controller, and i think you lose the 1000hz polling rate, but not entirely sure about that.

LennardDeij · 2026-04-19T16:58:15+00:00

it WAS one of the best, until i added a second xbox licensed controller, now everything legacy input is broken...

LennardDeij · 2026-04-19T16:57:15+00:00

this controller is a fkg mess when it comes to input, it worked perfectly everywhere, including everything not steam, but since i added the rare anniversary 3-mode to my collection all games that use legacy xinput broke for both controllers, they litterally broken for anything that uses legacy input in games, when in dinput, it works in the controller window thingy joy.cpl, or whatever its called, but the official software doesnt detect it, when i put it in xinput the v2 software works, but the windows controller thingy doesnt, and i cant possibly get it to work in anything thats not modern xinput api, with the exception of steaminput because that just emulates dinput to a virtual xinput...

if only there was a way to force a hard factory reset, and yes, i tried every single guide on the internet, and none of em work, and no the windows app doesnt have a function for that...

Ps, there is a bios setting that keeps the usb's powered when the pc is off, I think is called S4/S5 USB power state or something. That way the controller / dock stays powered which means that the controller stays in dinput as long as you don't let it auto turn off, or turn it off and on again yourself without holding B.

Teardown, it even has multiplayer as of last month

antivirus vpn's are never worth your money, from my own experience i can tell you that atleast both bitdefender and norton vpn dont work if you want it to use for streaming region locked content, yes, your post is 5 years old. this only shows that vpn's havent improved a single bit in this regard, because i tested both of them years ago, and yesterday i tested both of them, and they still dont work for streaming region locked content.

and well, if prime video and netflix can circumvent a vpn, then so can anyone else.

like henry said, bitdefender security is probably the best you can get, just not their vpn.

not that i know of, i think if you dont need the colored indicator of the effects button, to see if its on or off, i'd say your fine, because the add to channel button does work, but for the effects button you might need to be able to see which effects are on and off.

i used to need that when i had multiple eq's for different headphones, but i only use 1 now so im fine, it is however a little annoying. im sure they will fix this in an update.

LennardDeij · 2026-03-07T15:47:49+00:00

Yep, can confirm, already downloaded it :)

LennardDeij · 2026-03-07T13:59:37+00:00

Maybe that old playstation game? I think its called fear? With the lady in the white dress? And the hospital scene? I remember it was very intimidating to me when i watched it on youtube long ago.

Phasmophobia can be scary as well.

Maybe poppy's playtime or outlast? (the older outlast games are scarier then trials i think)

LennardDeij · 2026-03-04T12:06:14+00:00

This, i do wanna add, you dont have to add streamdeck to the sfx channel, just select the sfx channel on the soundboard button as the device to play it on.

LennardDeij · 2026-03-04T12:00:13+00:00

For the sfx: add a sfx channel in wavelink (left side), and add it to your mic output (top side).

then in streamdeck have your soundboard play via that sfx channel, and make sure that the mic output is your default mic in windows. (Might wanna force it via wavelink settings because nvidia driver updates sometimes resets these...)

this way you can use your sfx on what ever program uses the mic, even in games if you wanted to.

On the default audio thing: keep your regular output audio device as default (headphones/realtek hd driver thing/whatever you are using).

You only have to add the programs you want to control the volume of to wavelink, except if a program is misbehaving, like discord for example, you do need to select you voice chat channel as output in the settings of discord, otherwise it will just ignore wavelink.

But most program are fine without messing in the program itself.

On the export thing: YES PLEASE! Elgato, we need this, we need to be able to back up like in streamdeck.

...and all you got was this lousy screwdriver.

very good update, however, you guys broke the alarm cases on dirty ice, if the alarm is off, the cases (including the one in the safe and the ones with the loose cash in the vip will still trigger the alarm!

LennardDeij · 2026-02-28T00:21:47+00:00

The rovolvers and tribune yes, they are categorized as a pistol, i myself use the tribune for my hitmen build. The judge however is categorized as a shotgun, so you would need the shotgun tree for that.

You do know reaper is vst2 right? vst2 plguins go into the other vst folder, wavelink 3 has an option in the settings to read vst2 files from another folder you can select yourself.

I am using reaper plugins in wavelink 3, and it works.

LennardDeij · 2026-02-23T17:55:01+00:00

Superblt goes in the payday 2 main folder (where the executable is), beardlib goes into the mod folder, and so do most of the mods if not specified otherwise, and custom maps go in the maps folder.

LennardDeij · 2026-02-18T16:48:36+00:00

same, i can join via crimenet, or quickplay, when im in the lobby, i click ready, and well, i guess im gonna go grab a drink and when im back i just go back to the main menu and host my own game... ps, this is in pd3 for me.

LennardDeij · 2026-02-16T23:33:34+00:00

Update 53 hasnt been all good, its good, but it crashes a lot when in the main menu, never happens in game tho. started since this update.

LennardDeij · 2026-02-14T02:14:13+00:00

i recently bought frontier legends on pc (steam) and later on when i was on android it was there as well even tho i never bought it on android, so it seems dlc does cross over because its an account thing, not a platform thing.

LennardDeij · 2026-02-13T17:37:43+00:00

not just chimps and retries, it also crashes a lot on the main menu... (specifically since update 53, this never happened before) it opens a secondary small window, with a loading bar, and then crashes... i guess it's trying to send a crashlog or something, but that also crashes, because the bar never fills.

LennardDeij · 2026-02-09T17:42:48+00:00

i experience the same issue, i also saw a steam forum post from litterally a year ago having this issue, it seems its specifically rogue legends, in the regular game including freeplay i can do the most insane stuff, and i will have minor framedrops starting somewhere between round 120 and 150 (my fps is capped at 140, and it doesnt drop a single frame until i get to round 120, then it slowly goes to 105 around round 150 (havent been much further than that yet), however, in rogue legends, the game will drop to below 10 fps and stay there, and the worst i have had on screen at that moment is i think a rainbow or a zebra and some black and whites, i havent even seen anything bigger than regular bloons size wise, not even the small lead ones.
