Just what the title says. Rest of program is working fine and 100% loving it. How to fix?

Windows 10 Pro.

Try playing around with it, and see if the option highlights. I think it’s not highlighting because it’s already been saved.

Thanks. Unfortunately that’s not it. If I slide around some of the sliders on a preset and try to go to a different preset, I get asked if I want to ignore changes or not but no prompt to actually save. Is there a limit on the number of presets? I DID download the free ones when I installed the program. Thanks again! I have to say that I am loving the program and it’s totally changed the way my computer sounds!

So when you make changes to the preset and click the hamburger button, you don’t see the Save New Preset option highlighted?

Hi @Threemoons

As far as I know FxSound supports up to 20 additional Presets, but can even go up to 100, if you:

Navigate to  
C: \ Users \ [YourUsername] \ AppData \ Roaming \ FxSound

Find the file named FxSound.settings

Open it with WordPad, and

Edit the line, and more precisely the number at the end of this line, correctly:

\< VALUE name=“max\_user\_presets” val=“44”/\>

Note: you’ll need to go to Tools \> Folder Options \> View in the menu bar on top and enable Show hidden files, folders, and drives first, in order to be able to access the hidden AppData folder.

Thanks so much for the detailed reply! Will play around with this after work later tonight. Again, I’m not complaining; this program has been a gamechanger. Much appreciated!
