fxsound does not designate itself as a communication device, but only as the main sound device. Try assigning fxsound to both positions in the window above.

It is possible that the operation of the program is broken when outputting sound to two devices. In the Windows mixer for different devices, there may also be different volume levels.  
In addition, check the assigned device in the calling program and what happens in the system when a call appears.
