Clownboard

A soundboard that plays your sound clips into a virtual microphone alongside your real voice — so your voice and streaming apps hear you and your sounds together, mixed into one mic.

⬇ Download for Windows Standalone .exe (no install)

Windows 10/11 · ~33 MB installer · no admin required · unsigned (SmartScreen → “More info → Run anyway” the first time).

⚠️ One free thing to install first: Clownboard routes audio through VB-Audio Virtual Cable (a free virtual audio driver). Install it and reboot — then Clownboard's built-in Settings / Setup guide walks you through the rest.

What it does

Mic + sounds, one cable. Your voice and clips are mixed and sent to your voice or streaming app as a single microphone.
Low-latency passthrough. WASAPI duplex audio — no noticeable delay on your voice.
Global hotkeys. Trigger sounds with F-keys while a game or Discord is focused.
Per-sound volume + auto-leveler. Keeps your voice loud and consistent; ducks clips under your voice.
In-app device picker. Choose your mic, the cable, and your monitor right in the window.
Local & private. Runs entirely on your PC. No account, no server, no telemetry.

Setup in 4 steps

  1. Install VB-Audio Virtual Cable (vb-audio.com/Cable) and reboot.
  2. Run Clownboard and open ⚙ Settings / Setup — pick your mic, set Output to CABLE Input, and your headphones as the Monitor.
  3. In your voice or streaming app's audio settings, set Input Device to CABLE Output and turn off Automatic Gain Control.
  4. Add your sounds, then talk & press a key — the call hears you and the sound together.
