I just UN-installed FxSound from my laptop. ☺️

Someone here recommended it...
Regardless of settings, it tends to make everything sound ("to me") like old way-over-"Dolby"-ed 1970's cassette tapes...muddy, difficult to discern...etc.
...including with my favorite studio headphones (Sony 7502).
I just stumbled across this in "facebook memories", (once again) encountered the mud, uninstalled it, and - voila - I can once again hear everyone's playing...
(from a prehistoric quintet recital...This three mvmt. old warhorse stuck in as "filler"...ie. "something that won't suck up rehearsal time" - as we typically only rehearsed three or four times per recital, and the trumpet players always wanted to program "all this wild-ass stuff"...)
anyway...I'm happy with FxSound GONE...I DO listen to music occasionally (admittedly, mostly to learn pieces before I have to play them).
