Hi Tae, Well, this seems pretty logical, since PreSonus is a professional studio mixing tool, and FxSound was intended as a basic standalone booster for simple audio streams. We’ve had some previous threads of people complaining about, and amazed at the fact that, FxSound doesn’t work in conjunction with their professional music production tools… I’d guess that the complexity of PreSonus is just too much for FxSound to handle. Anyway, [this](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/sound-level-difference/2116/2) is a quick link to my first-aid-kit list in case you’d like to run some basic troubleshooting checks nonetheless. > [@FxSound ruins THX Spatial](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/fxsound-ruins-thx-spatial/2009/7): > > FxSound doesn’t tend to play nicely with other apps that also use the Windows audio drivers. Also, there are alternative audio enhancers available (APO is probably the most hard core): - [Chrome EQ extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/equalizer-for-chrome-brow/abikfbojmghmfjdjlbagiamkinbmbaic/) - free - [FireFox EQ extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audio-equalizer-wext/) - free - [EqualizerAPO](https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/) - free - [SteelSeries Sonar](https://steelseries.com/gg/sonar) - free - [DeskFX](https://www.nchsoftware.com/deskfx/index.html) - free (_see warning below_) - [Neutron](https://neutroncode.com/player) - paid > [@Inability to get Fx Sound to function](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/inability-to-get-fx-sound-to-function/2220/3): > > DeskFX is from NCH software, which has a reputation for providing buggy software.
