What does my soundblaster actually do? Also looking for an improvement on setup.
If you need to quickly switch from X3 to other device (MB + speaker) there is the Volume2 app, since Win11 sound/volume settings are a mess.

Fixing Creative's Volume Control Issue when using DDL or DTS
If you've ever used digital encoders with Creative products, you may have noticed that it's only possible to adjust the overall volume by changing the volume of the "What U Hear" recording device. While some solutions like Volume2 have been suggested, I struggled to find the right settings in there.

Things I've learned enabling bootcamp in my MacBookAir 2017
Volume keys doesn't show a visual response: This is because an update from apple software update for windows. You can disable updates, in my case I've installed Volume2, works great and it has a skin to mimic apple and windows 11 appearance.

X4 No Volume Control
You will want to seek out and install a third-party tool like Volume2 to take over system-wide volume slider control and redirect the shortcuts/media keys to adjust the "What U Hear" recording device level instead of your default output device (which should remain unchanged/normal).

any way to get rid of the playing box and just have the volume bar ?
Yep I wanted the same thing and was able to do it. I used Volume2 and chose the skin that looks like the default windows volume osd. I also have HideVolumeOSD running like someone else mentioned but I don't think that's actually necessary with Volume2.

How do I make it vary by one ? Each time I press, it increases by two.

Is there a programm that adds the sound controll to the task bar? (like in the picture)
Try Volume2, maybe you'll find what you need there. For example, I use the volume control by scrolling the mouse wheel over the tray, with a beautiful indicator, and the percentage of sound is displayed in the tray.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought by AMD
HDMI 2.0 is capable of doing 4k @ 120Hz, but only up to YCbCr 4:2:0 8bit instead of the full YCbCr 4:4:4 10bit (though I'm not sure how close wayland is to 10bit support). It will be fine for gaming, just not for everyday PC use.
FWIW I also didn't realise this until just now. I've been running my desktop at 4k@120hz recently for the buttery smooth neovide, but have been noticing that text rendering, especially syntax-highlighted text, looks awful. I'd seen the same oled panel render text way better in WSL/Windows (both using a custom pixel geometry[0] via Mactype, but also without), so I spent more time than I'm willing to admit to wrapping my head around custom pixel layouts and hinting in freetype. But no, turns out it was this all along.
If you want to see the effect of 420 vs 444 chroma subsampling on text rendering, this writeup[1] has some great test images and is well worth a read. Also, if you happen to have an LG OLED panel, you can get a little debug window that confirms your signal format and refresh rate, by pressing the green button on the remote 7-8 times.

Text Fringing? looks bad on the new Samsung OLED G9...
Download Mactype. If you download the beta version (warning: it will trip windows defender) you can use one of the QD-OLED profiles, if you download the last stable version (has an installer and will not trip Windows defneder), use a grayscale rendered font like this one. It doesn't work on chromium browsers though so you're gonna have to use Firefox if you want it to be on your browser.

Text Rendering Hates You
If only. There's a ticket open with Microsoft's PowerToys to improve the anti-aliasing situation:
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/25595
And heres an explanation from the dev of MacType about how DirectWrite can cause different applications to perform text rendering differently from each other:

How do you guys maintain good eyehealth?
There's an open source text rendering engine called MacType, it does what you'd think (make it look like Mac). Fonts are a visual delight after that, and it's highly configurable.

[HUB] One YEAR Using The Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED - My Thoughts
Already supported in WPF and DirectWrite. AFAIK DirectWrite by default only uses y-axis at large font sizes. I think MacType enables it system-wide.

27GR95QE vs 27GL850 Text Readability - more details in comments
I'm using standalone mode (load with tray). It can definitely work with browsers, as mentioned here: https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/issues/931. Their github has considerations and workarounds for each, such as this page for Chrome: https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/wiki/Google-Chrome

Step 2: Install it from the MacType homepage, it is an open-source project so it seems safe to me. I recommend installing it in "Load with MacTray" -> "Standalone Mode".
