Hi there, found this program 2 weeks ago and that’s was so awesome to use till today.

I got a fresh update for Windows 11 and after updating when I selected as the sound source FxSounds Speakers the sound of my PC transforms into the devil, it’s like in slow motion, with a huge bass boost. However, if I switch the sound source to the original one all work properly.

Hope someone will give any advice to solve that because with this app sound quality becomes so much better to me 🙂

Hi;

Here’s some things you could try:

- Uninstall and reinstall (if necessary with specialized complete uninstaller software);
- Make sure you have the latest version installed, available from [fxsound.com](http://fxsound.com);
- Try running FxSound as administrator;
- In your Windows Sound settings, make your sound devices match at 24 bit 48000 Hz (max);
- Make sure the FxSound device is set as the default communication device in your Windows Sound settings;
- Disable Exclusive Mode;
- Again in Windows Sound settings, it’s recommended to disable all Enhancements for all devices except FxSound (which doesn’t have this tab).

I’m also copying Vijay’s latest post:

> [@No sound after installing FxSound](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/no-sound-after-installing-fxsound/1433/9):
>
> If there is any other audio enhancement application running on the PC and if the audio playback device is setup for exclusive mode, then the other application can take control of audio playback and FxSound will not be able output audio to the device.

> To confirm if the FxSound driver is installed correctly, go to the directory

> **DfxSetupDrv.exe check**  
> The output should be: **FxSound Audio Enhancer**  
> Also if the driver is installed, it will show up in Device Manager as follows:

And another tip by Vijay:

> [@Problem with accessing FxSound Enhancer by clicking on its icon](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/problem-with-accessing-fxsound-enhancer-by-clicking-on-its-icon/104/7):
>
> To isolate the issue caused by any setting change, you can try renaming the folder FxSound under %APPDATA%. This will make FxSound to launch in factory default settings.

Please let me know if this helps! 💗

Thanks for the advices, I tried all from the list and nothing worked for me. BUT  
after that, I ran the FxSound app and notice that I used the wrong Audio Device for Output (I using HyperX Flight S and it has 2 outputs for Chat (with lower Hz options) and classic). So I just switched the output in-app to the needed one and all is working great.

But anyway thanks for the fast response!
