My Dell XPS 7390 just arrived and I have the same volume issue on Zoom calls and Microsoft Teams. Very frustrating for what I paid for this new laptop. Thank you for the posts above. I've followed at number of suggestions an found that changing I found that changing the speaker settings to 16 bit did the trick for now. (right-click on "Speakers" in the sound settings > "Advanced" tab > change setting from 24 to 16 bit). I have also done the following: - Unchecked "Enable audio enhancements" (same window as "Advanced" tab above) - MaxxAudioPro - turned of all three main features; playback, voice, and waves nx. It is still installed, however. - Note that turning off "voice" on MaxxAudio Pro solved my microphone issue. I was being told my voice was trailing off and going quiet on Zoom and Teams. Turning off this feature immediately solved it. Again, the change to 16 bit was the ultimate changed that fixed the quiet speaker issue. Still not maximum volume, but huge improvement. Maybe 8 bit even louder? Also, I haven't played around with other combinations like rechecking the audio enhancements or turning on MaxxAudioPro speaker settings. Please respond if anyone finds other, better solutions.
Whenever I go on a Zoom or Skype call, the volume is extremely low. Even when set to 100%, the person talking is just barely audible. My speakers work completely fine in anything but calling apps such as zoom or skype. I have tried messing with the control panel sound device settings, such as changing the communication tab to not lower volume during a call (to "Do Nothing"). Does not help.    I found a temporary solution, when I go to task manager and disable the Waves MaxxAudio startup process, and restart my computer, the audio works completely fine. So it seems to be Waves MaxxAudio messing up calling application volume. However, this solution is bad because now I can't plug in headphones into the jack because it doesn't recognize it anymore since the MaxxAudio application doesn't run on startup.Is there any way I can fix this? I think this problem is connected to MaxxAudio but I can't figure out what setting is causing this. I also can't find the Dell Audio page like my old XPS 15 can access and mess with the maxxaudio settings
