In the latest release v1.1.26.0 a new feature to select preferred output device has been added.
The preferred output device can be selected from FxSound settings. It can also be selected by passing the device name through command line option --output. For example
`FxSound.exe --output=""`
The preferred device feature functions as follows,
1. If preferred device is selected and it is connected during FxSound launch, then audio playback will be through the preferred device.
2. If preferred device is selected but it is not connected when FxSound launches, then audio playback will be through any available device. Once the preferred device is connected again, audio automatically switches to the preferred device.
3. When FxSound is running, if the preferred device is disconnected, then audio playback will switch to an available device. Once the preferred device is connected again, audio automatically switches to the preferred device.
4. If the preferred device is “None”, then audio disconnecting the selected output device will switch the audio to the next available device. Connecting any audio device will not automatically switch the audio playback.

Normally, clicking the “Download for Windows” button should give you the installer for v1.1.26.0.
The version number is shown in the “Details” tab of the Properties menu of any installer .exe accessible by right-clicking the downloaded file.
It’s also shown in the Help tab of the Settings menu.
But I’m assuming you know that.
Can you please verify that clicking the “Download for Windows” button gives you the installer for v1.1.22.0?
Because I definitely get v1.1.26.0.
Are you perhaps visiting a cached copy of [fxsound.com](http://fxsound.com)?
Where are you downloading from, or are you using a VPN, and if so, set to which country?

Another way to check if you have v1.1.22.0 or v1.1.26.0 is by comparing the file size of the downloaded .exe files in Mb.
v1.1.22.0 remains available here,
