Hello guys, how are you? šŸ˜€ I know that asking about the best configuration may not be the most accurate, because from what I have researched about the sound configuration it is something extremely broad, but I would like to ask you about **what you would think would be the best configuration to play this kind of game games? Considering the steps very important**. I am ignorant on the subject and I get confused when I see so many things to move in the program. Iā€™ve already used the gaming option but I feel like itā€™s set up in a more general sense and can be set up a bit more towards shooter games. Could someone help me please šŸ™ ---

Hello Egan, Welcome to the forum. Personally, Iā€™d recommend starting from the Gaming preset and boosting the Ambience and Surround a bit further - but FxSound is fully customizable to your own liking and taste. You can find all the info in the Learning Center: > **[FxSound Learning Center - Articles, Courses, Guides, and Support](https://www.fxsound.com/learning-center)** > > Your go-to resource for everything audio. Becoming an audiophile shouldn't be reserved to those with audio engineering degrees and overflowing wallets.

Iā€™m using classic (old DFX) preset available in FXSound as ā€œClassic Processingā€ - itā€™s universal for my purposes like gaming, music or videos. ---

> [@Marvy](#): > > is it possible to only let FXsound process the audio from a specific program? Sorry, no. Not at the moment, at least. FxSound was designed as a kind of virtual sound card, to process all audio on the system. ---

You can tell Windows what audio device to use for the software you use to play music. Say, if you use Spotify, right click the audio icon on the toolbar tray (bottom right) and click Open Volume Mixer. The apps using sound will be listed, click Spotify and for Output Device, change it from Default to your sound device. This way, Spotify will bypass the equalizer and play directly on your sound device.
