Settings

This article or section is a Stub. You can help the Resonite Wiki by expanding it.

The settings tab of the Dash Menu is used to configure Resonite's appearance and how it operates.

This settings page is dynamic and will register new settings when a component requests them (Ex: The Twitch Streaming Interface Setting).

Audio

Audio Input

Setting	Usage
Use system default input device	Tells Resonite to use the default microphone defined by your operating system
Configure default audio input device	Allows setting the priority for audio input devices

Audio Output

Setting	Usage
Use system default output device	Tells Resonite to use the default audio output defined by your operating system
Audio output devices	Allows setting the priority for audio output devices

Volume

Setting	Default Value	Usage
Master volume	75%	Controls the volume of everything in Resonite
Sound effect volume	100%	Controls the volume of sound effects. These are typically sounds produced by items and avatars
Multimedia volume	100%	Controls the volume of multimedia assets. These are typically videos, audio files, audio streams and background music in worlds
Voice volume	100%	Controls the volume of other users in your session along with pre-recorded voice clips in some cases. Please remember you can adjust the volume of individual users in the Session tab.
UI volume	100%	Controls the volume of sound effects created by UI specifically. These are typically hovering and pressing buttons and capturing photos

Audio Accessibility

Setting	Usage
Whisper mode volume	Controls the volume of sounds outside of your whisper sphere when using whisper mode.
Voice message volume	Controls the volume of sounds while you are recording a voice message.

Input Filtering

Setting	Usage
Voice normalization	This feature will try to ensure that your voice input is brought to a uniform level. This helps make your volume the same as other users, regardless of your microphone settings. We strongly recommend to keep this setting on to ensure you can be heard well by other users.
Normalization threshold	Using this setting you can control the threshold when the incoming audio will become amplified. If your normal speech is too quiet and it's not getting amplified, lower this setting. If random quiet noises are being amplified, increase it.
Noise suppression (RNNoise)	This feature processes the incoming audio to filter out various undesirable noises. This can clean up audio from noisy microphones considerably, producing a cleaner voice. We strongly recommend keeping this setting on. However, it can also filter out certain noises that do not get identified as speech.
Noise gate threshold	Noise gate prevents background noises from being transmitted to other users. This setting indicates the maximum volume at which sounds will be filtered out. If too much noise is making it in, increase this setting, if your voice is not getting through, lower it.
Noise gate attack	This indicates how fast the noise gate responds to an incoming sound that is louder than the threshold volume. Larger values will result in a slower volume fade in, while smaller ones will make the volume ramp up quicker.
Noise gate hold	This controls how long it takes for the noise gate to begin to close after the microphone input volume falls below the threshold volume.
Noise gate release	This setting controls how fast the noise gate closes after the incoming audio has quieted again.

Voice Settings

Setting	Usage
Mute Persistence	Denotes what your microphone setting should be at startup

Earmuff

Earmuff Mode is an accessibility setting which lowers the volume of other users when you cannot see them / are not nearby.

Setting	Usage
Use Earmuff	Enables or disables this setting
Volume Attenuation	Sets the volume for other people when they aren't in focus
Directionality	Controls the shape of the focused area. When set to zero, this area is a circle around you; when set to 100%, this area is a cone in front of you.
Distance	Controls the size of the focused area
Angle	Controls the angle in front of your face where voices are in focus. Does nothing when directionality is zero.
Transition Start	Controls the start of the volume falloff
Transition End	Controls the end of the volume falloff, beyond this the volume of other users is equal to the volume attenuation setting.

Interaction Lasers

Setting	Description
Laser smooth speed	Controls how fast the laser responds to your movements. Lower values will make the laser more sluggish, but better at filtering tremors. Higher values will be more responsive, but also transfer more controller shake.
Modulate start angle	Angle at which the laser smoothing speed will start modulating to catch up to your movements. Increasing this value will require larger movements for the laser to start catching up.
Modulate end angle	Related to the modulate start angle, this indicates when the modulation will reach maximum speed. By changing the start and end angles, you can control how responsive the laser is the more you move your hand.
Modulate exponent	Controls the response curve of the laser modulation between the start and end angles. You can use this to either make the laser respond more sluggishly at first or to start responding quickly and then tapering off.
Modulate speed multiplier	The laser smoothing speed will be multiplied by this value once you have reached the modulate end angle. Increasing this value will make the laser catch up quicker once you move your hand far enough. Lowering the value will make it take longer to catch up.
Laser stickiness	Controls how much the laser will stick to interactive items. Larger values will make it stick more. Setting this to zero will stop the stickiness completely.
Show lasers in desktop mode	When on, the laser visual will be rendered to you fully when in first person view in desktop mode.

Security

Host Access

Setting	Description
Manage Host Access Permissions	Opens the list of permission settings for each configured host

Manage Host Access Permissions

Setting	Description
Allow HTTP requests	This indicates if HTTP(S) requests are allowed for this host. These are typically REST API requests to communicate with a third party service.
Allow websockets	This indicates if realtime Websocket connections are allowed for this host. These are often used for more realtime bi-directional communications and data streams.
Allow OSC receiving	This indicates if Resonite can receive and process OSC data from this host.
Allow OSC sending	This controls if Resonite is allowed to send OSC data to this host.
Remove entry	Removes this host access permissions entry from the list. The next time Resonite needs to access this host, you will be prompted again to accept or deny the connection.

Network

Realtime Networking

Setting	Default value	Description
Disable LAN	Unchecked	This disables networking features specific to local networks, such as broadcasting your session on the local network or listening to other sessions broadcasted on this network.
Prefer Steam Networking Sockets	Unchecked	When enabled, you will connect via Steam Networking Sockets protocol if possible. Not recommended unless you consistently encounter issues with LNL.
Prefer TCP	Unchecked	When enabled, connections over TCP are preferred over all other protocols. This mostly affects connections on LAN, as TCP is not used for connections over the internet by default. TCP can have better performance on LAN networks and work on certain networks where UDP based protocols won’t work. However they can also suffer from "head of line" blocking, causing voices and poses to be significantly delayed.
LNL Window Size	64	This controls the LNL protocol window size for real time networking. It is recommended to leave this setting at its default value of 64 unless you consistently encounter issues. This setting is for diagnostics and a temporary workaround; this value will automatically adjust itself in the future.

Asset Gathering

Setting	Default value	Description
Maximum number of concurrent asset transfers	4	When hosting sessions, this indicates how many locally imported assets can be transferred at the same time. Increasing this can transfer assets to users faster, but can also degrade the quality of the network connection.
Maximum number of concurrent downloads	8	Use this to control how many assets can be downloaded at the same time. Using a bigger value can speed up loading of worlds, but can also overload your network, so use caution when tweaking this value.

Network Relays

Setting	Description
Always use relay to connect	Relays are typically used as a fallback when a direct connection to the host cannot be established. By enabling this option, you will force the connection to always happen through a relay. This can be useful in cases of connection issues to particular hosts. It is NOT recommended to have this option permanently on.
Use closest available relay	When this option is enabled, the closest available relay will be automatically selected. If you want to connect through a specific relay (e.g. in case of long distance connections to avoid packet queuing) you can disable this option and configure the preferred relays below.
Configure relay server priorities

Setting

Description

Discord Rich Presence

Controls what information Resonite sends to Discord’s Rich Presence systems. None: Do not send Rich Presence information to Discord. Basic: Send only limited details such as your presence in Resonite. Full: When in a public session, send all suitable session information to Discord. Includes the world name and how many users are in the session. Discord itself also does its own detection to display what game you are playing. This can be disabled in Discord’s settings.

Steam Integration

Setting	Description
Steam Rich Presence	Controls what information Resonite sends to Steam’s Rich Presence systems. None: Do not send Rich Presence information to Steam. Basic: Send only limited details such as your presence in Resonite. Full: When in a public session, send all suitable session information to Steam. Includes the world name and how many users are in the session. Steam itself will display that you are playing Resonite regardless of this setting. Changing this setting only affects how much extra data is sent to Steam about your active session.
Save Screenshots	When you take a picture with this setting enabled, a copy will be saved to Steam screenshots.
Force Steam Voice when Remote Play is active	When enabled, this automatically forces the audio input to use Steam Voice when you play through Steam Remote Play. This helps so you don’t need to switch automatically to use the forwarded microphone input. Disabling this can be useful if you want to use your own audio device - e.g. external microphone.

Misc

Platform Settings

The name of this section changes in game depending on your operating system.

Windows Settings

Setting	Usage
Keep original screenshot format	Avoid converting captured screenshots to JPG/PNG instead keeping them in their original format.
