1: Why does the concept of + and - zero exist in the inferface? It’s really counter-intuitive, given that zero is never + or -. At best, it might be said to be a thing which you can multiply with – but that result is undefined. Even sqrt(-1) \* 0 … is undefined. Where is this extra-dimensionality coming from? 2: On this page ( [Contribute | Join and Support Sound Innovation — FxSound](https://www.fxsound.com/contribute) ), under “Company”, there is a hyperlink titled “Forum” with URI [https://www.forum.fxsound.com/](https://www.forum.fxsound.com/) … the actual URI is [https://forum.fxsound.com/](https://forum.fxsound.com/) .. this should also be corrected. Thanks. Love the program otherwise. ![2026-03-07- why does +0 and -0 exist in the inferface FXSound](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/2X/5/54eede385b6024c403187764c3b5031048e1b626.png) ---

i wonder if value’s increment of 0.5 +/- is possible in the future? reason here is I just wanted to try some EQ floating around the internet which they oftentimes comes with some decimal(s) (currently I have some value in 1.5 or -2.5 dB in .fac file, but since GUI doesn’t show decimals, it seems the values are being rounded up)… It’d be fun to try out the “raw” EQ i found online now and then, but this isn’t a need just a feature idea/request from me.\[1\] * * * 1. unless you’d like me to go full out drama queen 😛 ---

Well, you can do that. Remember, if you want to have an equalizer that moves in 0.5 unit increments, you simply multiply the values by 2 and then enter the results as the level. EG: - I want to try 0.5, 1.0, 1.5. _multiply by 2_ - Enter values 1, 2, 3. You do not need to adjust the program. You just need to multiply by 2. ---

No. 0 is 0. + and - zero are not concepts in mathematics. ---

> [@coreywillei](#): > > “internal AUX jack” do to mic device? The software is describing an input port that is on your soundcard. It should also have listings for other inputs (such as microphones). So, it doesn’t “do” something to the mic device. Rather, like the mic device, it is an input for sound. ---

You just need to multiply by 2. —This interestingly makes sense, though I want to challenge your idea a bit here. From what you mentioned, the band with .5 increments gets `x2`, but how do you adjust the other bands and the master gain while still _`keeping it the same`_? ```yaml For example: #we'll use 10 bands from 32.5hz to 16k (but disregard the frequency for now) [+1] [+2] [+2] [-2.5] [1.5] [.5] [+1] [+3] [+2] [0] After x2 the [.5] bands [+1] [+2] [+2] [-5] [3] [1] [+1] [+3] [+2] [0] ``` Do you still think this is the same? if we then multiply every other bands as x2, still that would mean amping up the boost/cut pretty “roller coaster” style here: ```yml [+2] [+4] [+4] [-5] [3] [1] [+2] [+6] [+4] [0] ``` —— As you can see now we got +6 as highest while -5 is the lowest. Yet we still haven’t mentioned about the clipping this might cause. ---

Rather, like the mic device, it is an input for sound. hope this clears up the confusion of FXsound `processing` input audio, I would naturally conclude that it if no processing happened, then it cannot be _“an input for sound.”_ : > [@FXSound picking up computer audio rather than microphone](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/fxsound-picking-up-computer-audio-rather-than-microphone/5065/6): > > I’m not 100% sure if this is the problem you’re running into, but FxSound doesn’t process input audio. \*_There’s no questioning about fxsound doesn’t process input/mic, I just wonder why the AUX jack “device” exists is all, though it appears to do nothing at all_ ---

> [@Inoshiro](#): > > No. 0 is 0. + and - zero are not concepts in mathematics. yes so I agree with you on this front, `an absolute Zero will be Zero regardless since 0x(-1)=0x(+1)`–zero is neither bigger or smaller than itself buuuuut in computing—e.g JS\[1\], there’s a concept called _ **“Signed Zero”** _, I also linked an article briefly explaining why `-0` and `+0` even exist!

(e.g, ~~`0.23124`~~ —\>rounding down—\> `+0`)_ * * * 1. javascript 2. x=value decimal(s) ---

I see your point here. Half-decibel tweaking is possible with the \*2, but you also have to be cognizant of the main gain and output. My suggestion was just a possible solution, and it sounds like that’s not a solution useful to you for the scenario you describe. I’m sure it’s possible to use 0.5 intervals, if the software is modified to have that be an option. { I’m assuming the unit for those numbers is decibel; it’s not explicitly notated as such in the UI, so this might be wrong as an approach to adding this behaviour to the software as there might be further work around units } ---

Uh-huh. And ‘signed zero’ much like anything we use to model reality, is a model of reality – not the reality itself. 0 is 0. There is no such thing as +0 and -0. Just because we can make an algorithmic mathematical logic system that can model +0 and -0, does not mean those concepts exist. The concept of flat Earth is a concept, and it doesn’t exist either. Sure, there are computer models that differ – but they are just models. They do not reflect reality. (A general aside about science; they don’t call astronomy “telescope science” – but they do call information science “computer science” … the computer is just a tool that a scientist in that discipline uses; it is not the be-all-end-all truth. Telescopes aren’t what define stars. Computers aren’t what define information) ---

> [@coreywillei](#): > > \*_There’s no questioning about fxsound doesn’t process input/mic, I just wonder why the AUX jack “device” exists is all, though it appears to do nothing at all_ That’s a good point. Are you able to provide screenshots of your audio configuration and FX Sound window that displays this information? The UI of FXSound as I use it, has multibanding EQing with ‘flavour knobs’ on the LHS which tweak parameters. The top left is profile for the EQing and flavour. Top right is an output soundcard destination (hardware or software). I do not know why an input device would show up (MIC or AUX). Perhaps with more information, it’ll make sense. ---
