VitXi 4.6.0-13: Improved Headset & Call Waiting Controls

Hello everyone!

We are pleased to announce the release of VitXi version 4.6.0-13. This update introduces a redesigned headset management interface, plus native multi-call and call-waiting controls for professional headsets.

Streamlined Headset Integration UI

The Headset Integration screen in Settings has been redesigned to be faster, cleaner, and more intuitive:

  • Instant Connection Status: Visual indicator displaying connected USB and Bluetooth devices with streamlined setup and test actions.
  • Context-Aware Control References: Automatically shows the exact button actions and controls for your detected headset brand and model.
  • Collapsible Call Waiting Tables: Keep the main settings interface clear while providing a quick, collapsible gesture guide whenever you need it.
  • Built-in Troubleshooting Panel: Integrated tips for browser WebHID permissions, device authorization, and audio settings.

Native Multi-Call & Call Waiting Handling

Managing multiple simultaneous calls directly from your headset is now seamless:

  • Jabra Headsets (Easy Call Control):

    • Call Waiting Alerts: Receive incoming call notifications on your headset while on an active conversation.
    • Answer & Hold Current: Answering a second incoming call automatically puts the first caller on hold without dropping the active session.
    • Call Swapping: Use your headset’s dedicated swap button to toggle focus between active and held calls.
    • Safe Decline: Declining a waiting call from the headset leaves your active conversation uninterrupted.
  • Yealink Headsets (WH62, WH63, UH34, UH36, BH71) & Devices:

    • Hold to Swap: Press and hold the Call Control button for 2 seconds to alternate between active and held lines.
    • Single-Press Answer: Press once to finish the active call and immediately answer the waiting caller.
    • Double-Press Reject: Decline a waiting call without disturbing your current caller.
    • Cradle Detection: Placing a physical handset back on its cradle reliably terminates the call.
    • Audio DSP Stability: Suppresses device-level ring commands during established calls to preserve audio quality when a second call arrives.

To update your VitXi installation on Debian, run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade vitxi
