Normalize Volume doesnt work for me and I don't feel that there's been any increase in volume

I’m having trouble with the “Normalize Volume” feature in FxSound — it doesn’t seem to work at all.

Here’s what I’ve done:

  • FxSound is active and turned on.
  • The “Normalize Volume” slider is set (I tried levels 1 to 4).
  • The app is running correctly, and I can hear the sound enhancements like bass or clarity.
  • I’ve also restarted both FxSound and my music/video apps after changing the setting.
  • FxSound is selected as the output device, and everything else seems fine.

Despite all this, the volume normalization doesn’t seem to affect anything — loud parts stay loud, and quiet parts stay quiet, with no balancing effect.

Is anyone else having this issue? Could it be a bug, or does it only work under certain conditions or with specific apps?
