FxSound Enhancer

FxSound (formerly DFX Audio Enhancer / FxSound Enhancer) is now free, making high-quality audio enhancement accessible to everyone. Designed for all PC sound systems, from average setups to audiophile-grade equipment, it offers automatic or fully customizable processing. As automatic or customizable as you want, it utilizes the highest-grade processing to deliver more volume, better equalization, and a wider, deeper sound.

For the serious audiophiles, FxSound gives you the tools to adjust the FxSound Effects and EQ to your exact preferences. Turn FxSound on and immediately hear the difference in sound quality.

FxSound is ideal for budget audiophiles, music lovers, gamers, transcriptionists, Netflix enthusiasts, and more.

No other free EQ for Windows matches its ease of use.
