Okay.
Please check if these instances are present and not disabled or hidden:
A device called FxSound Speakers in Windows Sound Settings, set as the Default Device?
And have you tried disabling and re-enabling the FxSound Speakers device?
I have just tried those and it didn’t work but now when I try and open it after reinstalling

after reinstalling
How did you go about reinstalling?
Have you already tried manually removing the FxSound Audio Enhancer driver from Device Manager? This seems like the thing worth trying at the moment. Find the instructions under bullet point 21 of the troubleshooting list at the top, as well as linked below. Then, run the installer for v1.1.22.0 again, and let me know if you’re good to go afterwards.
Good afternoon,
If you want to get rid of FxSound, try uninstalling the driver manually (since the risks involved in uninstalling the FxSound driver are close to zero).
Please note, you will need to restart your computer afterwards; and you’ll probably still want to check your Control Panel (under “Uninstall or change a program”) to verify if FxSound is uninstalled there, and if not, uninstall it through Control Panel as well.
First, these are the instructions on how to check if the FxSound d…
I just tried that and it didn’t change anything

Possible cause(s):
Elaboration by @bvijay74:
This error means that the user account does not have any access permission to the folder C: \ProgramData\FxSound. The default settings are stored in C: \ProgramData\FxSound during installation and copied to %APPDATA%\FxSound for each user on application launch. So, the user launching the application should have permission to read settings from C: \ProgramData\FxSound.
Possible solution(s):
* Confirm if the logged-in user has permission to the required folder with the command "icacls"
* Log in with a different user account;
* Change the folder permissions;
* Uncheck Read-only under Properties > Attributes;
* Run FxSound as Administrator.

https://forum.fxsound.com/t/settings-file-not-found-when-trying-to-launch-fxsound/1542
Possible cause(s):
The absence of permission to access the AppData folder.
Possible solution(s):
* Confirm if the logged-in user has permission to the required folder with the command "icacls"
* Change the folder permissions;
* Copy the file manually - elaboration by @bvijay74:
Check if the file FxSound.settings file is present in the %APPDATA%\FxSound directory. FxSound installation should normally create the defaults settings file in this directory. If the file is not created due to any permission issue, then you can copy FxSound.settings from %PROGRAMDATA%\FxSound to %APPDATA%\FxSound.
* Run FxSound as Administrator - elaboration by @bvijay74:
If the FxSound.settings file is not present in %APPDATA%\FxSound, then upon FxSound launch the file gets created. User will get the error only if FxSound does not have the permission to create the file. So, running FxSound as an Administrator is another option to overcome the issue. Subsequent launches can be as standard user, but the settings changes will not get saved. Application launch error can be avoided this way and this does not require any manual changes to the settings file.

Possible cause(s):
Usually on old versions of Windows (7, XP) with outdated root certificates. If the root certificates are out of date, then there may be problems checking the valid digital signatures of files.
Possible solution(s):
* Update certificates or system;
* Install from the [Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/fxsound/XP8JK4TBQ03LZ4);
* Solution shared by @bvijay74:
Extract the installer by running fxsound_setup.exe /extract
Once the files are extracted, you can verify the cab file signature by running
signtool verify /pa fxsound1.cab
Then run fxsound.x64.msi on 64 bit systems or fxsound.msi on 32 bit systems, to install FxSound.
