What is FxSound?

FxSound processes Windows audio in the background so you can change the sound sent to your headphones or speakers. Use its equalizer to adjust frequency balance, apply effects such as bass boost, or choose a preset instead of configuring every control yourself. The interface brings a preset selector, output-device selector and audio controls into one window.

This download is the Intel/AMD x86/x64 EXE installer linked by the publisher; Windows ARM64 has a separate installer. FxSound is Windows-only, and its release notes state that audio processing is disabled during Remote Desktop sessions. These are publisher-described features, not results of an installation or listening test.

What it offers

  • Adjust frequency balance with the equalizer.
  • Customize playback with effects including clarity, ambience, surround sound, dynamic boost and bass boost.
  • Choose audio presets and select an output device from the main interface.
  • Associate presets with preferred output devices using the device preferences described in the release notes.

Good to know

  • Available for Windows PCs only; the publisher does not offer Mac or Linux versions.
  • Audio processing is disabled during Remote Desktop sessions, according to the official release notes.
