I had to reinstall Windows recently. I was previously running FxSound without any issues. Since reinstalling FxSound. On my previous setup, all I had to do to get FxSound to work was select FxSound as the output speaker. If I do this now, there’s no sound. I have to I select my normal output speaker first.
