Neat app BUT... I am uninstalling

[doolhoofd]

Good evening Jon,
Of course, no one is forcing you to use this free software, and you’re always at liberty to switch to another audio enhancer:

• Chrome EQ extension - free
• FireFox EQ extension - free
• EqualizerAPO - free
• SteelSeries Sonar - free (see below)
• DeskFX - free (see warning below)
• Neutron Player for Windows - paid

@Tarek_Hasan

SteelSeries Sonar is better than any paid software. It’s free but needs an account to work.
DeskFX is from NCH software, which has a reputation for providing buggy software. Their software are notorious for difficult to uninstall and making a mess in windows registry.

Many thanks to @Tarek_Hasan for sharing.

Your above points have been duly noted.
Now, please allow me to offer a reply to them one by one.

1. Audio from video or Spotify stops when computer monitor turns off

Please refer to this thread for all info on the sleep mode issue.

1. it stutters with players like winamp

I use WinAmp, VLC, and Windows Media Player on a pretty old system, and seldom experience any glitches. LatencyMon can help you identify the cause of your stutter issue, and perhaps carefully adjusting your Power settings could help as well.

2. Annoying pop up notifications keep showing up even if I disable them over and over.

What kind of notifications are you getting? I am using v1.1.20.0 available from fxsound.com, and never get any notifications except for the regular ones indicating device selection…
Apologies in case I’m restating the obvious, because you might have already tried this, but you can find the instructions on how to disable notifications from any app on Windows 10 in this article by Microsoft Support.
That being said, it is admittedly true that there have already been a couple of threads about persistent notifications, like this one, for example (scroll down to the posts made by @Dolmatov and @bvijay for further insights), so this is indeed a known issue.

@bvijay

Thank you @jamiowonders for your support to FxSound.
Sorry about the issue with the notifications. I understand that it would be very annoying to see the notifications being displayed even after disabling it.
We just completed the development of next release and in the process of testing it. So, we can prioritise fixing the notifications issue in the following release (1.1.21.0).

3. It would be nice to have the option to ignore certain playback devices so the EQ doesn’t affect them or to get individual EQ settings per each audio playback device.

This is a popular request, so I added yours to the existing thread on this topic (you can find it linked underneath your opening post at the top of this thread).
