Amplitude Soundboard vs Resanance

Amplitude Soundboard is a desktop app for playing audio clips to express yourself and entertain friends. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with downloads listed for Windows x64, macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, and Linux x64. Supported formats include AAC, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP4, OGG, OPUS, and WAV. Clips can play through multiple output or input devices, with volume controls for the full app and individual clips. Users can assign hotkeys to sounds. The interface offers light or dark themes, custom tile backgrounds, and controls for tile size and grid dimensions. Listed languages include English, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. The app is free at free, and its repository is identified as GPL-3.0 licensed. The project page describes update notices at startup and automatic updating on Windows. Routing sound to an input such as a microphone requires additional audio-routing software. Linux hotkeys work under X11, not Wayland; macOS hotkeys require accessibility permission and an app restart, and a security warning may need to be bypassed because the app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID.

Resanance is free soundboard software for applications that accept audio input. It lets users add unlimited sounds and hotkeys, send audio to multiple devices at once, and adjust local and microphone volume independently. Controls include per-sound and per-button volume, button resizing, borders, and colour changes. The feature list also includes MIDI soundboard support and text to speech. Users can sort sounds by name, search the collection, or trigger a random sound with a hotkey. The site names TeamSpeak, Discord, Skype, Curse, Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Twitch as compatible application examples, and says the software has been tested on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11. Listed platforms are Android, web, and Windows. Help links point to Discord, Reddit, and a YouTube tutorial.
