I have gotten fxsound for gaming and i have been loving it! I just have a concern because since i use voice chat to talk with my friends, their audio when they talk is also distorted. any way to blacklist certain apps like discord from getting the audio enhanced?
Hi,
No, regret to inform you that there is currently no such option, so if you don’t want your voice chat app’s audio boosted, your best bet at the moment would be to simply turn FxSound off.
There is a possibility one might be added in the future though, see:
I just realized Discord is not an audio device, and therefore not included in the dropdown menu to select an output device.
I did find some audio-related settings in Discord under App Settings > Voice & Video, such as:
Input Device & Volume;
Output Device & Volume (I can select either Default, my headphones, or FxSound here, but I never chat on this app, so I have no idea what the results of changing this setting would be);
Soundboard Volume;
Echo Cancellation;
Noise Suppression powered by Krisp;
Automatic Gain Control;
Attenuation;
Audio Subsystem: Standard / Legacy / Experimental; and
Diagnostic Audio Recording.

With huge love to fxsound team this is the best windows app for me! many thanks for making this foss!
For anyone looking for a solution, in windows 11 you can use volume mixer to set per-app audio output device just like the photo attached in the picture below:
This way the app doesn’t output to fxsound virtual speaker, instead it outputs directly to the headphones!!
I needed to do that mainly coz the effects introduce quite noticeable little audio delay which is understandable due to effects and how digital signal processing works.
Just to add, you can navigate directly to System > Sound > Volume mixer by running “ms-settings:apps-volume” (from a Run box or a shortcut).
