SF 15 - Effects Rack devices not working. Unable to preview changes

Running SF v15 on Win10 64 bit with Ryzen 7, 8gb ddr5 ram & 4gb graphics in my laptop for EFP work. Effects like the compressors and EQ's not working. Renders to new sound files with EFX enabled results in no change to the file from original. Unable to preview the tracks. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling software. No change. Is it just my laptop or are others having similar issues. My older version SF v12 works fine. Thanks for looking.

What version of Sound Forge-15? (AS or Pro) 'Read the 'Sticky'.
Do all plug-ins and types (Direct X, VST 2 & 3) exhibit the same behavior?
Do you have the Fx plug-in(s) in the Fx chainer, or are they being used singually? (one at a time)
Do the plug-ins' meters and other display paramters show activity?
If using the chainer, what mode? (timeline or apply chain in favorites)
Is the chainer or plug-in(s) bypassed? (upper-right in chainer window)
Automation envelopes?

No other reports here AFAIK.. likily a setting.

You could try resetting SF to the factory default settings if you cannot otherwise find a reason, but most personal customizations would be lost.

btw, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users forum @Dana-Brown.
