Zound is an audio server that uses WebSocket to enable local sound control and playback.
Manage your audio files, set custom keybinds for sound effects, and play them simultaneously through both your headphones and a virtual microphone.
It’s the ultimate tool for playing music, soundboard clips, and memes directly into your favorite games or Discord.
Note
Zound requires a virtual audio driver to function properly. We recommend using Voicemeeter (must be installed, configured, and running). Follow this Tutorial for basic setup instructions! Make sure to select the virtual audio device you want to use as your PLAYBACK_DEVICE.
Important
Zound requires Python 3.12. Compatibility with earlier versions is not guaranteed!
From the project root directory, run:
.\setup.bat
This command will create a virtual environment and install all required dependencies.
To start the project, you can either run the /src/main.py file manually or use:
.\run.bat
