Volume Locker 0.9.0

What's new in 0.9.0

What's New

Independent Communication Priorities

• You can now set separate priority lists for communication devices.
• Voice calls and regular media playback can route to different devices automatically.
• For example, keep music on speakers while calls automatically use your headset.
• Input devices also support independent communication priorities for microphones.

Flexible Communication Fallbacks

• Communication priorities can now include your regular device priority as an entry.
• Prefer a headset for calls when connected, and fall back to your normal speakers otherwise.
• Move or remove the fallback entry at any time.

Streamlined Priority Menus

• Priority lists are now organized in dedicated settings submenus.
• The main tray menu is shorter and easier to navigate.
• When adding a device, you can choose Add to top or Add to bottom.
• Notify on restore is now located inside each priority settings submenu.

Current Device Status at a Glance

• Active default and communication devices are displayed directly under Current: .
• Star indicators were removed from the device list in favor of these clear labels.

Temporary Overrides for Communication

• Temporary device overrides now support communication devices.
• Temporarily switch calls to another device without changing your saved priorities.
• Temporary menu labels display the currently active override.

Independent Notifications

• Toggle restore notifications separately for regular audio and communication audio.
