FAQ
Q: Why the application does not install on my machine?
A: Make sure you've downloaded correct installation package. 64bit version wont install on 32bit OS and vice versa. Note that you will need administrative rights to make installations.
Q: Application installs correct but the voice is not changed. What can I do?
A: Go to audio settings, recording devices. Right click on microphone ->Properties. If the dialog has an "Enhancements" tab, go to that tab. Make sure the "Disable all enhancements" check box is unchecked, even if you don't use any of the enhancements in the list.If the dialog does not have an "Enhancements" tab, go to the "Advanced" tab. Make sure the "Enable audio enhancements" check box is checked.
There are four different installation modes ( Clownfish's Setup menu ) - try each of them and check if this will help you ( remove device, change mode and install device)
Q: In some cases I cannot add custom sounds. Help?
A: Try running Clownfish as Administrator. The other option is to add them manually ( paste sound files in C:\Program Files (x86)\ClownfishVoiceChanger\sounds ) and restart CF.
Q: How can I restore my sound card settings?
A: In general if you uninstall Clownfish the old behaviour should be restored. However if something goes wrong you can reinstall your audio driver software.
Q: Clownfish dialog is transparent. Icons are not accessible. What's wrong?
A: If you experience problems with user interface you can force the application to work in non-colored mode. You have to edit Clownfish's shortcut and add startup parameter -nocolor in Target textbox.
About
Clownfish: Clownfish and anemonefish are fish from the subfamily Amphiprioninae in the family Pomacentridae. About twenty eight species are recognized, one in the genus Premnas, while the remaining are in the genus Amphiprion. In the wild they all form symbiotic relationships with sea anemones. Depending on exact species, clownfish are overall yellow, orange, reddish, or blackish, and many show white bars or patches. The largest species reach a length of 18 cm (7 in), while the smallest barely reach 10 cm (4 in).
