⚠️ Pre-release ⚠️

How to install

In a nutshell: uninstall the previous version, then install this one.

AI Voice Changer (RVC): real-time voice conversion with a guided calibration wizard, model management (HuggingFace search/download or local files), and auto-tune.
Noise Cancellation panel with presets and full manual control.
Hardware EQ support for the Nova Pro family, with a per-channel backend selector (Auto / Software / Hardware).
Per-application EQ and Noise Cancellation overrides, including switching by focused window on Hyprland, Sway, and X11.
EQ presets (10-band and 15-band) with a curve editor.
Audio output can be redirected automatically on headset connect/disconnect.
Device settings now persist across daemon restarts.
GUI shows the daemon version and upgrades/starts the background service automatically.
Rust daemon (v3): rewrite of the background service, with support for the entire device lineup (Nova 5, Arctis 7+, Nova Pro Wired/Wireless/Omni, Nova Elite, Nova 7, Nova 7 Gen2, Nova 3/3X/4/4X, Arctis 7, Arctis 1 Wireless, Arctis 5, Arctis 9, Arctis Pro/Pro Wireless/Pro GameDAC, Arctis GameBuds) — see docs/device_compatibility.md for the full capability matrix.

Voice Changer's Enable control is now a tri-state switch (off / on for this session / on, starts with the daemon).
The background daemon has been rewritten from Python to Rust; the GUI is unchanged.
EQ changes apply live to the running audio graph instead of reloading it.
Noise Cancellation now runs as a single audio device instead of one per effect stage.
Device detection now matches primarily by product name, falling back to product ID.
Side navigation now uses icon buttons instead of text labels.
The Voice Changer panel is labelled "(Preview)".
README's Supported Devices table rewritten and re-checked against SteelSeries' own device specs.
CI now enforces Python code quality (ruff, basedpyright, coverage floor) alongside the existing Rust checks (cargo-deny added).

The old Python daemon and everything only reachable from it, now that the Rust daemon covers its functionality. lam-cli is trimmed to its device-introspection subcommand.

Byte-order mismatch that corrupted custom EQ gain on Nova Pro Wireless, Nova Pro Wired, Arctis 7+, and Nova 7.
GUI's automatic service restart now targets the actual installed v3 systemd units.
Noise Cancellation no longer swallows quiet consonants.
EQ preset/gain changes no longer interrupt other apps' playback or leak PipeWire modules.
Settings with many options no longer overflow the window; sliders no longer stutter while dragging.
