Subject line says most of it. I have small USB speakers that are still louder and much better than the laptop speakers, and they stay connected for long periods, but when I sleep the computer, often or very likely every time, I’m back at the laptop speakers. I’m sure restarting will do the same thing. I don’t recall this happening in the middle of a session.
I click on the Speaker field//box and the first time only Realtek factory choice shows. The second time I click, the Logitech speakers show too. I choose them and I’m good until the next session. This is not a terrible inconvenience, and I very much appreciate the donation-ware software, but if I could fix this, or if it could be fixed by the author, it would be nice.
When I did Update and when I did it again just now, it says I have the latest version, but I don’t know where to find the number.
Sometimes I use it for quite a while before I realize the sound is not loud enough, so I don’t think it’s trying to reconnect. Yes, I’ve been on for 20 minutes this morning, haven’t done anything that plays sound, and FxSound is running but it’s still connected to Realtek (that is, the laptop speakers). On past days, playing sound would not get it to change to the USB speakers.
Thanks.
But I just Restarted, and then I Slept it for a minute, and neither made it lose the USB. When I sleep at night, it sleeps for hours. Maybe that is different.
When sleeping for a short time, I also don’t see the USB speaker getting disconnected.
Depending on the power management settings in the USB controller, system sleep can cause the USB controller to sleep for power savings and this can cause the speaker to get disconnected.
To fix this, we need identify the interface on which the speaker is connected like USB and handle the power cycles. We will work on this.
Wow, I thought this would be an unneeded check, but my version is 1.2.6.0 , a long way from 1.2.10.0 which you told me is the latest version. Yet just now for the 3rd time Check for Updates says I’m up to date. I’m posting this now but give me an overnight to download the most recent version from the website, install it, and see what happens. I did download it just now and it’s 70, 816 bytes long. There are more details about that that I’ll give later. Thanks so much, esp for answering a question about version that I didn’t think I even needed to ask.
Well, I dl’d from the home page and installed and I think there was a problem installing, even after I closed the current version. So I uninstalled the current version and installed and I still had v1.2.6.0. So I went to softonic and found 1.2.9.0 and to techspot and found 1.2.10.0 (beta). I installed 9 and I’m saving 10 for later if 9 doesn’t fix my small problem (and it is beta). But someone might want to tell the webmaster that “Download | Enhance your sound experience — Download now — FxSound” is still downloading version 6, both from the leading big red button and from the first line in Latest.
Thank you. As best I can tell so far, the original problem is fixed by installing version 9, but please note the later problem, that when I dl’d from your dl page, twice, both using the big red button and using the first of the Download Links / Latest links, I got version 6 , not version 9. I’m using win11, 64-big, Firefox all fully updated, so I don’t think it’s anything I did. I think you are providing 6 when you mean to provide 9. .
I often don’t look at the names of people who write, and I didnt’ realize until just now that you were the same person all the way through. I very much appreciate your personal attention. And I’ve tried to return the favor, by donating and by my post. 30 minutes ago.
