Volume Mixer - System sounds volume gets reset

[Albert]

Once every few hours go by, for some reason Volume Mixer for FxSound Speakers gets reset to device volume (13)…

I have to set System Sounds back to “1” every few hours. Can this bug be fixed, so volumes are not being reset?

I am using Windows 10.

Hi Albert, welcome.

@Albert

I am using Windows 10.

And which version of FxSound are you using?
Also, there’s a basic troubleshooting list bannered to the top of the forum:

[TROUBLESHOOTING] If you're having trouble, please look here first:

Hi, All! If you’re experiencing technical difficulties with FxSound, then please run through these troubleshooting tips first. This is the most recent update (11/01/2024) of my “first-aid-kit” list, with numbered bullet points, for easy reference. A few days ago, FxSound went open-source on GitHub (you can find @james’ full post here); going forward, when posting a bug report or feature request on the forum, it would be helpful to report the bug or request the feature through the GitHub Issue…

Have you researched this issue online yet, and, if so, what did you find?
Below are some links which could hopefully be helpful; the first one is a small free tool called EarTrumpet which allows for very precise, device-specific volume control:

And this article from Microsoft Support contains suggestions 4, 6 and 17 from my list, among others:

Do let me know if any of this actually helps.

@doolhoofd

And which version of FxSound are you using?

The latest one. 1.1.20.0

It only resets volume since I installed FxSound, and it resets only on FxSound Speakers device not on system sound device (Speakers).

I will try eartrumpet.

Been using eartrumpet and this issue doesn’t occur anymore. Volume levels are stable and not being randomly reset.
