Is the volume getting reset every time you connect the DAC?

This happens because FxSound resets volume when a new audio device (DAC) is detected at boot.

To fix it, set your DAC as the default device before starting FxSound, then adjust the volume and save a preset. This will make FxSound remember the level instead of resetting to 100 on each boot.
