Into voice chat and games
Sounds go to your speakers and through a virtual microphone (VB-Cable) to your friends, each with its own volume. Your real mic keeps working.
Free soundboard for Windows
Your sounds in every voice chat, played from your phone.
Resound plays sounds into Discord, games and any voice chat, and to your own speakers. Your phone is the remote: scan a code, tap a button, done.
Paired with your PC.

1
Install Resound on your PC
One small program, no admin rights. The guided setup picks your speakers, adds your sound folders and sets up the virtual cable for voice chat.
-
2
Scan the code with your phone
Resound shows a QR code. Your camera opens this app, and it pairs with your PC on its own.

Install the app and play
Add it to your home screen, straight from the browser. It opens fullscreen, keeps the screen on and reconnects to your PC by itself.
Everything a soundboard needs
Built for playing sounds while you game or talk, without tabbing out.
A remote in your pocket
Tabs you swipe through, favorites, colours and emoji for every sound, custom layouts, progress bars, stop and pause. Works on phones, tablets and a second screen.
Any sound in a second
Search every tab at once, even with a typo, and filter by colour. Tap the search button or pull down with two fingers; results play right away.
Your folders are your library
Drag folders in; each folder and subfolder becomes a tab. MP3, WAV, FLAC and OGG. Renaming or moving files keeps their settings.
Import from sound button sites
Drag a sound from Myinstants or Sound Buttons World onto a folder. Resound downloads it, lets you preview and name it, and spots duplicates.
See where your audio goes
A live diagram on your PC shows your mic and sounds flowing to what you hear and what others hear, with level meters. Anything missing is marked, with its fix.
Mic mute and push-to-talk
While a sound plays, Resound can mute your microphone and hold your game's push-to-talk key. "Talk through" lets you speak over it.
Hotkeys inside your game
Hold a key to pause the sounds and talk on another channel, or press one to stop everything at once.
Set up once, updated in a click
A guided setup installs VB-Cable for you. Updates and settings backups take one click each.
On your PC
See where your sound goes. No more guesswork.
Resound's panel on your PC draws your audio as it flows: from your microphone and the soundboard to what you hear and what your friends hear.
-
Every connection at a glance
Pipes light up with the signal and live meters show each level, so you can see that your friends will hear you before you join a call.
-
Problems point to their fix
If something isn't connected, like a missing VB-Cable or a microphone that isn't routed, its pipe breaks and a badge says why. Click it and Resound takes you to the fix.
-
What happens while sounds play
Mic muted for sounds, push-to-talk held, playback paused: Resound shows it right on the pipes, while it happens.

How it works
This website only delivers the app. Everything after that happens between your phone and your PC.
Your phone
Resound app
Direct, encrypted, your Wi-Fi
Your PC
Resound
Sound
Speakers and voice chat
Discord, games, …
A static app
The app is a set of files that your browser loads once from this site and keeps. Installed, it starts from your phone, even without internet, and only checks here for updates.
Pairing stays local
The QR code holds your PC's local address and a one-time code. They come after the # in the link, the part a browser never sends to any website.
A direct, encrypted connection
The app connects to your PC with WebRTC, the technology behind video calls, but without any server in between. The connection is encrypted and checked against your PC's certificate from the QR code.
Your data stays on your PC
Your sounds, library and settings never leave it. The phone only sends which button you pressed, and only phones you paired can connect.
News
Import sounds from Myinstants and Sound Buttons World
Open the Sound library on your PC and drag a sound's name from either site onto one of your folders. Resound downloads it there, warns if you have it already, and lets you preview, rename or discard it right away. It shows up on your phone at once. Sound files from Explorer work too, and subfolders now become tabs of their own.
Search all your sounds from your phone
The app can now search every tab at once: type part of a name, the letters in order or even a typo, and pick a colour to narrow it down. The redesigned app also brings a sliding tab bar that follows your swipes, a live preview of a button while you edit it, and help on screen when your PC can't be reached.
Resound is now an app on your phone
The phone remote became an app you install from this page. It connects straight to your PC, encrypted, keeps the screen on, runs fullscreen and starts even without internet.
