Audio Forge

Set the perfect mood, without breaking character.

With the Audio Forge plugin, control your TTRPG soundboard directly from Stream Deck. No more reaching for your phone. No more looking for the right window. Now switch scenes, trigger sound effects, and ride the volume fader with a single key press, while your players stay immersed in the story.

What is Audio Forge?

Audio Forge is free soundboard software built for tabletop RPGs. Whether you're running Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, or any other system, Audio Forge lets you layer music and ambiance, fire off one-shot sound effects, and manage your entire audio setup from your Windows PC or mobile device. Ships with a built-in starter library, ready to play in under a minute, and plays any audio file you throw at it. Learn more at slashpaf.com/audioforge
