Multiple users have repeatedly complained about issues combining FxSound with apps like Discord, Skype, Zoom, MS Teams, etc., with various reported malfunctions. The most frequently reported problem is loss of sound on the app itself (one way, or both ways). Other reported issues were e.g.: Loss of sound on the entire system; No noticeable enhancements to the audio even though FxSound was active; Clipping; Unprompted switching of the active audio device; and, Error pop-ups for certain audio devices, Among others. Most of these programs have their own Settings, as well as their own bugs, which of course complicates smooth simultaneous operation.

Troubleshooting: Try setting FxSound as the Default Communication Device in your Windows Sound Settings - this actually sets FxSound as both the Default Device ànd the Default Communication Device simultaneously, but, only shows it as the Default Device.

Also, when streaming a screen (not an application), if you use the system output (realtek), then the discord will not catch itself, if you use FxSound as the output device, then the discord will catch itself.
