Hello,

I’ve been using fxSound for over two years without any issues, but yesterday it suddenly stopped working out of nowhere while i was on my pc, my normal speakers still work fine. If I switch the output back to my speakers, I can hear everything normally. But when I switch to fxSound, I get no sound at all, The visualizer bars in the app are still moving, so it doesn’t look like it’s completely dead.

I ran the fxdiag troubleshoot, and it shows that my Fxsound.exe app has volume set to 0.

Audio Sessions

1. FxSound.exe  
[Inactive] [Volume: 0%]

2. SignalRgb.exe  
[Active] [Volume: 100%]

3. Spotify  
[Inactive] [Volume: 100%]

4. Spotify.exe  
[Active] [Volume: 100%]

5. System sounds  
[Inactive] [Volume: 100%]

6. XboxPcApp.exe  
[Inactive] [Volume: 100%]

7. steam.exe  
[Inactive] [Volume: 100%]
