```lua
bool setSoundEffectEnabled(sound|player target, string effect [, bool enabled = false])
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `target` | `sound\|player` | A `sound`, a `dui`, or a player to change their voice in voice chat. |
| `effect` | `string` | The effect's name: `chorus`, `compressor`, `distortion`, `echo`, `flanger`, `gargle`, `i3dl2reverb`, `parameq`, `reverb` or `radio`. |
| `enabled` | `bool` | `true` to turn the effect on, `false` to turn it off. *(default: `false`)* |

## Returns

`true` if the effect ended up as asked, `false` if the effect name does not exist or the target was not found.

## Example

```lua
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVoiceStart", root, function()
    setSoundEffectEnabled(source, "radio", true)
end)
```

### Coming from MTA

The `radio` effect, which makes the sound seem to come out of a walkie-talkie, does not exist in MTA.
