Hi! Fxsound has been great however, is there a way to disable it for specific apps?  
For instance, I like my music presets but only for Spotify. I don’t like those exact presets for other applications like Minecraft or Google Chrome. Sometimes I listen to music while I game but fxsound makes the games more echoey (due to my presets).

Any way to have Fxsound enabled for Spotify and disabled everywhere else?

Hi cujoh,  
It’s a function that is definitely under consideration, and maybe even already in active development, for future releases, and I would advise you to add your specific desires and wishes to the existing thread on that topic, linked below:

> [@Option to Set Default Playback Devices and Presets That Automatically Switch When Using Selected Apps](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/option-to-set-default-playback-devices-and-presets-that-automatically-switch-when-using-selected-apps/28):

> The idea here being that if you could say set your Playback device to headphones and preset to Music when running Spotify for example. And as you started playing music on Spotify FxSound would automatically swap the playback device and preset to match what you’ve set for the Spotify app.

Yah it’d be nice to have an automated function to switch between custom presets based on input
