Everything seems well set and all buttons are “On” but Nahimic’s audio effects don’t seem to work, I can’t hear any difference!

It’s possible that your Windows® audio settings disabled all audio effects on your device. To turn them on, just follow these instructions:

1 - On your Windows® taskbar, right-click on the volume icon.
2 - Click on Playback devices or Recording devices, depending on the devices you are interested in. Playback devices are audio devices, like speakers or headphones. Recording devices are capture devices, like microphones. You may have to apply these instructions to both.
3 - Right click on your current default device and click on Properties.
4 - Click on the Enhancements tab and make sure the disabling audio effects option is unchecked.

Nahimic’s audio effects should now run normally.

All my drivers are up to date. I reinstalled audio drivers and nahimic MANY times. The disabling audio effects option is unchecked. Nahimic still makes no difference. It used to work just fine, then one day it just stopped and I don't know why (windows or driver update? idk).

Furthermore, when using mic in game and nahimic is running in the background, fps drops from 200 to ~15. Please help, the sound quality is similar to my smartphone speaker and it's giving me headaches.

P.S. Why does nahimic 3 not have the mixer function?
