FxSound is now open-source and we're looking for contributors
If you've lost sound when using FxSound you may have audio applications and devices that are conflicting with FxSound. The FxSound Speakers needs to be the default output when running FxSound. Sometimes other applications may enable 'Exclusive Mode' on their own playback devices which will prevent FxSound from controlling and processing the sound on your PC.
(If you're still having sound issues, make sure you've got the right playback device selected in FxSound).
1) Exit FxSound.
2) Exit any other 3rd party audio applications you're running.
3) Right click the Speaker icon in the Windows toolbar, and select Open Sound settings.
4) Select a device that's not FxSound as your Output. (Realtek devices tends to give the most problems here).
5) Click Device properties
6) Click Additional device properties
7) Select the Advanced tab
8) Disable Exclusive Mode (make sure "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" is unchecked.)
You may need to repeat the steps above for other devices.
1) Exit FxSound.
2) Exit any other 3rd party audio applications you're running.
3) Right click the Speaker icon in the Windows toolbar, and select Open Sound settings.
4) Right click on a device that's not FxSound as your (Realtek devices tends to give the most problems here) and click Properties.

Now that FxSound is free and we've moved to a donation model we've had to discontinue active customer support, but you can get help from the community at the new FxSound Forum.
