Good evening Rankori,
This is my standard list of settings I usually recommend checking first (it indeed always includes disabling Exclusive Mode for all devices, but since you’ve already done that, there’s no need to mention it again):

  • Upgrade to the latest version, v1.1.17.0, available from fxsound.com or the Microsoft Store;
  • Make sure your computer, Windows and sound drivers have received all the latest updates;
  • Try browsing their manufacturer’s website to find and download software built specifically for your devices;
  • In the General section of FxSound’s Settings menu, try changing the setting for automatic switching;
  • Try running FxSound as Administrator;
  • In the Windows Sound Settings menu, make sure all your devices match at the same setting, with “24 bit 48000 Hz” being the maximum supported by FxSound;
  • In Windows Sound Settings, make sure the FxSound device is set as the Default Device;
  • If this doesn’t improve anything, try setting FxSound as the Default Communications Device;
  • In Windows Sound Settings, disable all Enhancements including Loudness Equalization for all devices;
  • In Windows Sound Settings, disable Hardware Acceleration for all devices supporting this option (can usually be found in the Advanced tab);
  • In Windows Sound Settings, disable all the devices you don’t need, including the hidden ones;
  • Try uninstalling and reinstalling the program (but I’m guessing you’ve already tried that);
  • Try downloading the program from a different source and installing that version instead;
  • Try uninstalling with specialized full uninstaller software (not an obligation and more of a last-resort option).

So please try tweaking these settings first, and post back with your results.
If your problem persists, I’ll call in some expert assistance.
