I would rather pay for high-grade service than be downgraded to less. The new version does not compare to what I paid for. I now have to find a new company. I can understand you having to make it free but canceling a product and saying it is unrestricted or is comparable is wrong!

But the program is still working as usual. I updated to the newest version (1.1.14) and from my experience I did not hear or see any ādowngradesā compared to past versions. In fact, it sounds better (at least on my computer).
Or where you previously using one of their older versions from the past? (As in DFX or FX-Sound 13.xxx?)
If the latter is the case, then I can understand your frustration, as it took me a while to get used to the newest FX-Sound. But I realized that this new FX-Sound does indeed have better sound processing.
I mean, you are free to look elsewhere for another program. Thereās many, as I have tried others too in the past. However, I have concluded that FX-Sound has the best volume booster, clearest output, and customization for audio processing. And is free!
Perhaps I have not noticed, but what exactly was the downgrade you speak of?

If you want the same level of audio quality as it was in DFX you must choose āclassic processingā preset in FxSound.

Sorry about the troubles with the driver. Were you on version 1.1.13.0 or 1.1.14.0. We reverted some of the driver changes we made on 1.1.13.0 on the latest version: Download FxSound - Boost Your Sound On Windows

Itās fine for me, but itās sorta dumb that it was a paid thing, and now itās free. I almost wonder if the devs could not figure out how to make it a ābusinessā or something? I mean, why give something away that clearly has value, as well as subscribers??? Makes no sense to meā¦ Anyone??
Hi owlcatz,
I really do believe that when James inherited the company, he just wanted to make better sound available to all.
And that this explains the shift.

We were profitable before we made the switch to a free model. But it was going to be hard to make dramatic improvements on the product after my dad (the main developer and audio engineer of the software) passed away. It became clear that weād be providing the most value to users by making the software free and unrestricted for everyone. Weāre making much less money now, but with some cost reductions weāll be able to still maintain and make small but continual improvements to the software.

Hey James Iām so sorry for your loss I know the feeling well. I didnāt mean to come off as rude or unappreciative but I just did not understand. 
ā¦
Thanks for taking the time to explain, the past two years have been rough on all of us I thinkā¦
Anyhow I appreciate all of your dadās work very much so if you ever find a developer to continue on Iāll be glad to pay or at least donate if you have a PayPal or crypto address for continued use because I canāt imagine listening to music without it to be honest your father did some great work so I hope you are very proud. 
Kind regards and again sorry for your loss.
