How to fix Output Switching in Wave Link 3.0 (One-click Headphones/Speakers toggle for Stream Deck/Galeon)

Hi everyone,

I recently updated to Wave Link 3.0 and found out that my old "Multi-Action" toggle for switching between headphones and speakers was broken. The new version handles outputs differently (allowing multiple outputs at once), so a simple "Set Output" command often results in sound playing through both devices simultaneously or requires multiple button presses to work.

After some testing, I found a foolproof way to get a perfect one-click toggle using the Multi-Action Switch in the Stream Deck software.

The Problem: Standard "Toggle" or "Set" actions in Wave Link 3.0 sometimes just add a new device to the list of active outputs instead of replacing the current one. This is frustrating when you want a clean switch from your headset to your desk speakers.

The Solution: Instead of a single command, you need to use a Multi-Action Switch with a "Remove/Add" logic for each state.

Step-by-step Setup:

  1. Create a Multi-Action Switch on your Stream Deck/Galeon.
  2. State 1 (Switch to Headphones):
    • Add Action 1: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Speakers
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Remove (This forces the speakers to turn off).
    • Add Action 2: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Headphones
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Add (This turns the headphones on).
  3. State 2 (Switch to Speakers):
    • Add Action 1: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Headphones
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Remove (Forces headphones off).
    • Add Action 2: Wave Link: Mix Output Device
      • Type: Set
      • Device: Your Speakers
      • Mix: Personal Mix
      • State: Add (Turns speakers on).

Why this works: By explicitly telling Wave Link to Remove the unwanted device and Add the desired one in the same click, you bypass the software's tendency to stack multiple active outputs.

Now, when I rotate my volume knob (mapped to Personal Mix Level), it always controls exactly what I’m hearing, and I never have to deal with "phantom" sound coming from the wrong device.

Hope this helps anyone struggling with the 3.0 update!

There are some screenshots, for your secondary device just make vice-versa.

New WaveLink 3.0 logic???

Hi guys, I’ve got a question. With the good old Wave Link, I was able to switch my output device using the Multi Action button. With one press, I could change both my default output device in Windows and the device used for my personal mix in Wave Link.

Now, after installing the update, I just can’t figure out how to do the same simple thing. Also, sometimes my audio output becomes empty for no reason, so I have to manually add my headphones and speakers again.

So it looks like I need a new Multi Action button that does 3 things:

  • add an output device for my personal mix;
  • change the default output device in Windows;
  • set the output device in my personal mix to either speakers or headphones.

Could you help me out? I just can’t understand how to do this with the current software and plugins. Right now, it seems impossible.

Corsair Galleon 100SD problem

Hi guys, I was having some issues with my brand new keyboard galleon sd100 with firmware upgrading. It seemed it was working fine when it finally got the fw upgrade, bot another issue showed up.

Main problem now is that my sd part of the keyboard isn't workin properly after system boots up. It's look ok, but nothing is working on a streamdeck side. Displays are ok - it even switch layouts through stream deck software, but nothing is actually working, till I replug the cable. I tried to use single cable or 2 at once - nothing really helps. Everytime I trun my pc on I have to replug the keyboard to use my stream deck part. Really annoying. Any tips?
