# v3.2.0
## Fixes/improvements
### General
- Settings saved in flash with `pgusinit /save` are now preserved when upgrading to a firmware version that introduces new settings
- Volume control is now available for all sources. For example, in SB mode, the SB DSP, OPL2, and CD-ROM audio volumes can be independently controlled. Thanks to [Daniel Arnold (Delphius)](https://github.com/RetroLoom) for contributing this!
- DualShock 4 gamepad support has been fixed
### SB mode
Sound Blaster playback has been almost completely rewritten, removing a major bottleneck and freeing up way more CPU time.
- Crashing on titles with simultaneous SB DSP & OPL2 fixed
- High-quality assembly optimized FIR polyphase resampler for much better sounding OPL2 output. Huge thanks to [korneliuszo](https://github.com/korneliuszo/) for contributing this and other optimizations!
- Direct DAC mode is back after being dropped in firmware v3.0.0
- Too-slow MPU-401 output in SB mode fixed (main symptom was long delay until music starts in Sierra titles)
- CD-ROM speed now faster in SB mode - improved from 2x to 3x
### pgusinit
pgusinit has been almost completely refactored, thanks again to [Daniel Arnold (Delphius)](https://github.com/RetroLoom). It not only helps future maintainability but brings new quality of life features:
- Long output like CD image listing and extended help text now pauses instead of scrolling off the screen
- Progress bar when flashing firmware instead of filling the screen with dots
- More helpful text if there are missing arguments
- Values can be set back to their default values with a `default` argument. Example: `pgusinit /cdport default`
- Added support for volume control via commands like /sbvol, /cdvol, etc.
