After updating FXSound, all of my games seem to run HORRIBLY. Stuttering, less than 60 fps (I usually run 80-200+ fps depending on the game). I unfortunately uninstalled every game I installed overnight (300 gb of games..) thinking that was the only thing I installed therefore “what if they were the reason”. I forgot about the FXSound update. **As soon as I turned FXSound off _(AFTER UPDATE)_**, my fps went from 30-50 right back to my normal 120+ again on this particular game. I am opting to using EqualizerAPO for now till it gets fixed which sucks cause I prefer FXS’s audio presets and configuration. FXS is easier to understand/edit your sound too but. I def can’t deal with the low fps it’s giving me and I need to wait for a fix/update before I use it again
