Download Volume Locker 0.11.0

What's New

Keep Your Device Names and Icons
- When Windows treats a device as new, Volume Locker now transfers its Windows name and icon along with its settings. This covers changing USB ports, re-pairing a Bluetooth device, and updating a driver.
- It is on by default. To turn it off, uncheck Also transfer device name and icon under Preferences > Settings transfer.
- This uses an undocumented Windows interface. If a write fails, Volume Locker logs a warning and your settings still transfer. See Transferring names and icons.

New Settings Transfer Menu
- "Device migration" is now called "settings transfer".
- Preferences now starts with a Settings transfer submenu:
- Automatically transfer device settings (on by default) is new, and turns the whole feature off when unchecked.
- Also transfer device name and icon (on by default) is new.
- Notify on settings transfer (off by default) replaces Notify on device migration and keeps your current choice.

More Reliable Device Matching
- Renamed devices are recognized more often, including USB devices without a serial number and monitors that move to another port.
- Device names no longer depend on PKEY_Device_FriendlyName, which Windows computes and doesn't store. Renames and icon changes are picked up from the properties that actually change.
- Settings never transfer between different USB interfaces of a device, such as the game and chat channels of a headset, or between two units with different serial numbers.

Skip Wireless Headsets That Are Off
- Some wireless receivers stay connected in Windows while the headset is off or out of range. Priority lists now skip supported headsets in that state, so put a fallback device below the headset in your list.
- Supported headsets are the Astro A50 X, Logitech G533, and Logitech G733.
- It is on by default. To turn it off, uncheck Skip disconnected wireless headsets in Preferences.

Open a Device's Own Properties
- Properties in a device's menu now opens that device's own Properties dialog, not just the Playback or Recording tab of the Sound panel.

Run From Any Folder
- Fixed the tray icon failing to appear when the app was moved or run from a different folder.
