Good day, In FXSound, under “settings” and then “Audio”. it is showing a few devices that I previously installed and then removed/uninstalled. Is there a file/registry entry that one can edit to remove these uninstalled devices? Thanking you. ---

Thanks for pointing out this bug. The devices are in the device\_configs section in %appdata%\FxSound\FxSound.settings file. But it is recommended not to edit this section manually. We will get the bug fixed in the application and remove the device once it is removed from system settings. ---

lol I am your baddie voices in the head here, i’ll guide you to the deep dark rabbit hole of fucking around till you find out. you should be able to follow this path to find the settings file > [@bvijay](#): > > %appdata%\FxSound\FxSound.settings ––\> it’s _ **C:\Users\UserName\Appdata\Roaming\Fxsound\Fxsound.settings.** _ remember to exit fxsound app first. This is a text file so open with notepad, but make a copy first in case you happen to mess up (the syntax is very important in programming, 1 missing “=” or something could break shit entirely). so in the file you open, look for **Value name= “device\_configs” val="[** _`~~a whole bunch of weird formatted text, ik (￣_￣|||)~`_ **]"/\>** here is what it looks like when there’s no device, just copy and paste it over the whole thing and save the change \[1\]: > `` happy cooking * * * 1. if your computer already remember any bluetooth headphones, then FXsound will detect it instantly no matter if this line shows 0 device just fyi, so don’t be surprised if you see some show up even after deleting them ---

@coreywillei LOL! I am all for going down rabbit holes and messing around, it’s how one learns. However, in this case, as @bvijay has already acknowledged that this is a bug, I will leave it to the professionals to resolve. I do like your thinking, though. ---

out of the box thinking cuz everything inside is already cooked 🤪, I’d give away what I know so feel free to ask, this “tweak” (not really i legit just delete the input) is benign and shouldn’t set anything on fire. (unless you wanted it too xd)
