I have significant hearing loss above 1 khz. FXSound’s “voice” setting is very helpful for my understanding speech, but I’m still on the search for an improved experience of music. The graph my audiologist made shows frequencies across the top and the drop off in decibels. I thought, how great it would be if the FXSound App sliders were working on the same scale. Is that possible? It seems the + and - gain values are arbitrary. ---

Interesting observation. If you’re looking for pinpoint precision, [EqualizerAPO](https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/) offers EQs with unlimited bands and customization options, and should be compatible with FxSound on a capable system. ---
