Description

Sound Reloader

Ever accidentally unplugged your headphones and Minecraft just didn't reload the audio? Does that annoy the shit out of you because it should just do it by default? Well I've got just the mod for you!

Sound Reloader makes sure your audio comes back AUTOMATICALLY whenever you plug your speakers or headphones back in!

There's even a litte popup when it does it. (WOW!!) (you can even turn off the popup in the Music & Sound menu WOWWOW!!)

Popup Notification in the top right of the screen with the top text: Sound Reloader and bottom text: Audio Reloaded!

Note

There's a chance it wont detect when your audio device is reconnected. Replugging your device back in should fix it.

How it works

Sound Reloader uses two detection paths to notice when your audio output changes.

First, it checks OpenAL every second via the ALC_EXT_disconnect extension to see if the current device has disconnected and then reconnected.

Second, a background thread polls Java’s AudioSystem every 2 seconds for new output mixers (e.g., when you plug in headphones or a USB DAC).

When either path detects a change, it waits 3 seconds for the device to stabilize, then calls Minecraft’s SoundManager.reloadSounds() to reinitialize the sound engine.

Tested on 1.21.1 and 1.21.11. Requires Fabric API.
