What it is

TuxVoice is a free, open-source Linux voice changer and soundboard that creates a virtual microphone in the PipeWire graph. Other applications can select TuxVoice Virtual Mic even without native support. The app provides twenty effects that can be ordered and stacked without a stated count limit, plus fourteen editable presets. Its soundboard accepts files from disk and offers an in-app catalogue divided into ten categories. Listed compatible applications include Discord, Zoom, OBS, Telegram, TeamSpeak, Mumble, browser tabs, and games. For games without a microphone picker, including CS2, TuxVoice can become the system default input. Routing is checked and repaired every two seconds after device or Bluetooth-profile changes. Installation options are Flatpak, source build, and Arch PKGBUILD. PipeWire with WirePlumber is required; GTK4, libadwaita, and ffmpeg come with the package. TuxVoice uses GPL-3.0-or-later, requires no account or subscription, and has no paid voice tier.
