@cracker @heapinfrimp Glad to hear it. 🎧 Thanks for informing us. 👍 This thread was posted yesterday and seems quite similar: > [@The sound of the AUX doesn't work](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/the-sound-of-the-aux-doesnt-work/2638): > > Sorry for the caps frowning . I have had this problem for a while and it’s been bugging me because I’m constantly with headphones and now i can’t change their sound with the FxSound. The sound comes out well on the laptop speaker and the headphone aux functions when not using the software, but once i turn on the FxSound there’s a slight millisecond where it work’s and then it never works again until I shutdown the program and execute it again. I don’t want to go find a separate program just… Since FxSound worked before this malfunction occurred for all users who reported it, and now even seems to work again in the case reported by @heapinfrimp, I added some [instructions on how to update (or roll back) the driver of the affected device](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/the-sound-of-the-aux-doesnt-work/2638/7). > [@The sound of the AUX doesn't work](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/the-sound-of-the-aux-doesnt-work/2638/7): > > Perhaps you could also try updating the drivers of the device that doesn’t connect - but, please be aware, this usually carries some risks, so you’ll be doing this at your own peril. > You can update drivers through Windows Update, or - in this case, preferably - in Device Manager, by going to the “Sound, Video and Game Controllers” tab, right-clicking on the device, selecting “Update driver,” and letting your machine search for driver updates automatically. > If the results of the operation turn out to be disappointing, you can roll back the driver through Device Manager, in the device’s Properties tab. > Here’s the how-to on the update process: > > [https://www.howtogeek.com/850821/how-to-update-audio-drivers-on-windows/](https://www.howtogeek.com/850821/how-to-update-audio-drivers-on-windows/) > > And here’s the how-to on the roll-back process: > > [How to Roll Back a Driver in Windows](https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-roll-back-a-driver-in-windows-2619217) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/fxsound-plays-sound-for-a-split-second-after-switching-device-then-goes-silent/2479)._
