Volume boost not as loud anymore

Hey there,

when I turned on my PC today my system sound was a lot quieter than it used to be. I have been using FxSound for years to boost my volume, and it broke all of a sudden today. I have tried installing an older version and the newest one, and I did most of the trouble shooting already, I am just unsure on what to do next. Its probably noteworthy, that I did a Windows update last night. It still works, its just a lot quieter than it used to be, for reference, I used to have my Windows Volume at around 20-25, now I have to put it to 70-80 to match that, which I cant really do.

No promises.

I have corrected this effect on many PCs by disabling/enabling “Loudness Equalization” thru Sound Properties or Volume Mixer.

I am not in a position *to provide a walk-thru for you. Most advanced users have seen this setting. Please advise if the hint listed above is not sufficient or fails to correct the problem.

*i am running a dev channel windows install. i cannot access sound settings w/o a crash and don’t need to

hey, thank you for the response. unfortunately my headset does not support that option, its the hyperx cloud 3. I will also mention, that I am using a laptop. Thank you very much.

? The headset is not relevant.

windows + R to to open run and then type mmsys.cpl and hit enter.

Select the target device. Select Properties. Select tab ‘enhancements’. Toggle settings.

Please note the no promises part. It is just a guess.

The headset does not support Loudness Equalization hence there is no Enhancements tab. Either way I managed to fix my issue by updating the headsets firmware and will move on without using FxSound. Thank you for the help :slight_smile:
