Usage

Wale tries to adjust all sound generating processes' peak level to 'Target: yellow bar on View(F2) page' level. You can change Target to your preferred level.

However, Wale uses windows volume system for now, which means the app only can control volume between 0.0~1.0. Hence, if you set Target to near 1.0, then Wale could not control volume, because all processes' peak levels are always less than or equal to Target. So, you should lower Target a little. Suggested Target level is about 0.25(-6dB). Default is 0.15(-8dB).

Caution! Too low Target may cause sudden hugely loud sound. Low Target means quieter output sound from your windows system. Then, you may need to increase the volume of your hardware such as speaker to hear the sound. In this situation, uncontrolled process would make very loud sound caused by some trouble of sound system include unintentional stop of Wale.

• Just click the session name or blue checkbox on that session to uncheck it if you want to exclude some session from auto control. This exclusion is not saved when Wale is closed.
• You can use your mouse wheel to adjust Relative volume -white bar- for each session. Relative value is not saved when Wale is closed.

Wale System Description

View(F2)

MASTER CONTROL - Left pane

Controls volume of current default render device with mouse wheel on anywhere of master tab. Control step is on small textbox which a left one of two of them.
Click ‘Set Volume’ button to set a volume of current default render device, target volume is on bigger textbox which a right one of two of them.
AlwaysTop(F7): window would be always on top
StayOn(F8): window does not close automatically
DetailView(F9): detailed mode for session pane

SESSION(APPLICATION) CONTROL - Right pane

Click checkbox or session name to include to or exclude from auto control list.
Click number to cycle values to volume, peak, average peak or relative volume when not detailed mode.
Use mouse wheel to change relative volume of each session.
Relative is kept between -1~1. And Final volume is multiplied by (2^Relative).

Config(F3)

• UI Update [ms]: update interval of main UI and audio status
  Auto Control [ms]: auto control interval, a value lower than 15ms is worthless due to the limitation of windows system
  GC Interval [ms]: garbage collection interval
  Target Level: target peak to equalization
  Up Rate: rate of volume raising per second
  Kurtosis: kurtosis for reciprocal functions
  Function:
  linear=V+(R-R*V)
  sliced linear=(V<V_B)? V+A*V+R ∶ V+B*(V-1) [A=R-R/V_B][B=R*V_B/(V_B-1)]
  reciprocal=V+R*1/(K+(1-K)*V-1) [if (K==1&&V==0) reciprocal=99]
  fixed reciprocal=V+R*((K+(1-K)*V)^(1/(Log_2(K)))-1) [if (K==0) fixed reciprocal=input][if (K==1) fixed reciprocal=input+R]
  where V=Volume,R=UpRate,B=Base Volume,K=Kurtosis

• Graph: graph for current volume raising function, yellow is base, blue is current, red is new(you want to set)

• Average Time: past time to compute average
  Min Peak Level: minimum peak to compute average
  Average Enabled: On/Off average computing, should always on
  Auto Control Enabled: On/Off Auto Session(App) volume control, should always on

• Run at Windows Startup: run at windows start
  Detailed View: view mode for main window.
  Detailed Log: log more detailed information on file. for future
  Priority: process priority for Wale.

Log(F4)

you can find app log on log tab, detailed log on %appdata%\WaleAudioControl
