FoxVox Free voice control software for BMS

Is AV still a thing, really? I guess you can trust foxster just fine if you downloaded the installer from the link he provided.
All the best,
Uwe

Not so much a lack of trust in foxster, but in the Installer app he used to create the installer. It is a common thing that they bundle adware or auto-installs of other apps (pre-selected). And that’s exactly what the malware Ids seem to indicate. So pretty sure the warnings are legit.

No idea if this site is legit, but the logos make me feel all warm and fuzzy (and I’m sensing a false sense of security as well, how come? )
All the best,
UwePS: Maybe you can compare the checksum of your download to this one:

Ok, my bad.
Seems the results were from a previous scan on other items.
Sorry for the noise.
DISREGARD. NO THREATS FOUND WITH MS DEFENDER. -
@logic Sorry, I’ve not been replying as I’ve been out sick this last week Really poorly timed coincidence I suppose. Thanks @hoover for your help and providing the scans! I assure you the software is clean. As for the msi packaging I did it myself using WIX Installer to create the bundle in Visual Studio. No help from any 3rd parties. The link I provided is original files only and there is no included addware, spyware, or anything of the sort.
FYI, the new joystick handler is going well with the new Push-to-Talk updates. I’m just a little behind because being sick and programming really don’t work well together! Now if I can just purge my own virus first …

@foxster I hope you feel better soon mate. No rush, health always comes first
All the best, Uwe

Hi,
I installed today FoxVox software. when it starts nothing happens.
I have installed W10 with framework 4.7.2 Any ideas?
Thanks -
@viper_falcon so you don’t see the voxfox main window after starting the program?
Cheers, Uwe
-
@hoover correctly, FoxVox main window is not starting.
Maybe I’m missing something… but can’t find it yet. -
@viper_falcon Foxvox will create a log file on any unhandled error in the default user temp directory (c:\users[username]\AppData\Local\Temp). Can you find a log file there by any chance? Also make sure it isn’t minimized to the system tray. It isn’t by default but just in case look for an icon there to click.
Fyi…working on v1.1 right now with some new features. I’ll have an update on it soon.
-
@foxster I get also no error log file i temp folder. I look also i taskbar i see no Foxvox.
Strange problem. I wil test on other pc i have time. -
@viper_falcon Maybe something got eaten by some weird / dumb antivirus program? Just guessing…
All the best,
Uwe

Hello everyone, I’ve just released FoxVox v1.1 with some new enhancements. Info about the new release along with the download can be found here: https://foxster.itch.io/foxvox/devlog/306628/foxvox-update-v11
Here’s a quick video showing how to implement the new Push-to-Talk features:

@foxster,thannks!

hi @foxster , just tried installing v 1.1 after uninstalling the old (beta) version and sadly foxvox crashes on start (logs attached).
I exchanged headsets in preparation for our LAN so that might have to do with it.
Thanks for this great tool!
Uwe

@hoover It’s possible it may be a problem with the library file since you had the v1.1 beta installed (sorry)… v1.0 user migrating to 1.1 shouldn’t have the issue. Try renaming the library file or moving it to a temporary location outside of FoxVox and see if the program loads as FoxVox won’t be able to load the invalid library file. Let me know if this works. If it does and you can get me a copy of your library file, I can fix it for you.
-
@hoover Also make sure you aren’t running two instances of FoxVox at once - it seems to cause an error and it wouldn’t work right anyway.
-
Sorry for being a bit dense, but which library file are you referring to?
I checked my foxvox folder, it looks like this:
I also checked my /users/hoover folder for files named “foxvox”, but the search only came up with the msi installer file (from Downloads).
thanks, Uwe
