when I am not using the fxsound app I can balance the audio in right and left headphones sides through control panel but since I started the fxsound system that option is no longer there. Is there anyone who can tell me how I can balance in both my ears through fxsound

Hello Saad,  
Welcome to the forum; sorry for your trouble.  
If you’re using Chrome, you could add [this extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sound-adjustment/nebbehiamgpclkolmehcolhnfkkagdmp) to control the stereo spread; if you’re using Firefox, you could add [this one](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sound-adjustment/) (the same extension for a different browser).  
[**EarTrumpet**](https://github.com/File-New-Project/EarTrumpet) has been mentioned before as a top app to control volume, but I don’t know if it offers panning options (perhaps @gidano could answer that question?).  
I know for a fact that the free [WinAmp Media Player](https://www.winamp.com/downloads/) has a panning slider integrated into the main panel, and I’m sure there are many other media players out there that are free and have similar options as well; just search for something along the lines of “[free media players for Windows](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=media+players+free).”  
I’m also quite sure [VoiceMeeter](https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm) can enable panning control as well - if you can figure out how to get it working, that is…  
You can find the instructions for setting up FxSound with VoiceMeeter in the thread linked at the bottom of my post.  
Other options you could try, are e.g. [EqualizerApo](https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/wiki/Documentation/13) combined with [a simple VST plugin](https://freevstplugins.net/stereochannel/) (free), or the [Neutron app](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/neutron-music-player/9NBLGGH4VP2H) for Windows (paid).  
FxSound’s owner @james has already offered his apologies for this unintended bug, as well as the intention of fixing it in future releases - so keep an eye out for those.

A1 and A2 are outputs for your audio hardware (sound cards, etc.) B1 and B2 are virtual outputs for audio recording apps or virtual audio cables (VB-Audio has a free one, check it out) for special applications.
