Like the title says, FX sound is picking up my computer audio such as videos rather than the audio coming in from my actual microphone. I’ve changed the input and output on my computer, but nothing’s changed.

Hi @Drawingbluejay  
Are you trying to make FxSound to process the microphone input?

Yea, but I don’t know how to change the input, only the output. The input has been stuck on my system sound.

If you go to Control Panel and then Sound, you should be able to find both the output and input stuff there. Also, check in Settings and Sound, lots of settings there for input and output. Maybe change your default? I hope you find a solution

I’m not 100% sure if this is the problem you’re running into, but FxSound doesn’t process input audio.
