Also, there are alternatives to FxSound out there… Some examples: - [EQ extension for Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/equalizer-for-chrome-brow/abikfbojmghmfjdjlbagiamkinbmbaic/), - [EQ extension for Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audio-equalizer-wext/), - [Neutron](https://neutroncode.com/player), - [DeskFX](https://www.nchsoftware.com/deskfx/index.html), EDIT: > [@Inability to get Fx Sound to function](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/inability-to-get-fx-sound-to-function/2220/3): > > - Equalizer APO website you linked isn’t original. This type of fake website provides malicious software. Original repo is here - [Equalizer APO](https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/). > - Also Equalizer APO development was discontinued and dev suggests using [Peace Equalizer](https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/). > - DeskFX is from NCH software, which has a reputation for providing buggy software. Their software are notorious for difficult to uninstall and making a mess in windows registry. > - [SteelSeries Sonar](https://steelseries.com/gg/sonar) is better than any paid software. It’s free but needs an account to work. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/echo-due-to-fx-and-the-original-playback-device-playing-at-the-same-time/2112)._
