Realtek High Definition Audio driver alternative windows 10 dell xps

Waves Maxxaudio is immutable bloatware that is shipped with all modern Dell XPS systems. This is achieved by disabling Waves MaxxAudio throughout the driver, thus leaving intact only the essential core Realtek audio software. This modded Realtek Audio driver disables the heavy post-processing sound effects from the stock Dell driver to allow for a clean, neutral, and flat audio experience. As Waves MaxxAudio and its sound effects are removed, this concern should not be an issue with this driver. No stupid GUI popups for Input/Output switcher (The prompt 'What did you just plugin: Headphone/Speaker/Microphone' does not popup anymore)Ĭan prevent laptop speaker damage - some people had concerns that the Waves MaxxAudio software was pushing the XPS laptop speakers too hard, causing early speaker damage.

Reduced power consumption compared to stock Dell Realtek Audio drivers - as there is no post-processing constantly going on with all audio, this may lead to increased battery life No extra, unalterable Waves MaxxAudio bloatware

probably other recent Dell Windows devicesĬompletely flat & clean audio experience: no post-processing.
