The Hands-Free version of your headset is normal if it has a microphone.  Removing those may have messed up other components. I am not sure where you Intel Display audio is coming from unless that is tied to the system you have. The Waves MaxxAudio Pro is normally installed by the Realtek driver install, but there may be some systems that can use the one from the Microsoft store. Since it appears you Waves install is corrupted you might need to uninstall it and the Realtek audio drivers.  Then start over with a clean install.  When I want a really clean install, I take the audio drivers back to the Windows version, which you may need to uninstall the driver and check the box to uninstall the drivers and you may have to do that more than once. It is usually best to do this offline, after having downloaded the new drivers.  After the new drivers are installed, you can go back online. I might be helpful for you to give us the complete model number of your system.  I normally start the Waves utility from the taskbar hidden icons.  But you could also try the All Apps listing, just in case.
Hello,   I recently had the problem that my bluetooth headphones didnt pair automatically with my laptop when booting up.So I made sure to delete my headphone from my known devices and paired again.However, my headphones (WH1000XM3) now has bad sound quality (muffled).I had this problem in the past and Dell told me about MaxxAudioPro where i could disable a slider which immediately solved this problem (i forgot the name of the slider). I noticed however that i also can't start Maxxaudiopro, it just starts up as a black screen [IMAGE] I have also tried some other fixes: -I have updated all drivers (according to dell website and dell assistant, and have also looked for updates for my headphones in the devicemanager tab)- I have looked long and hard to disable hands-free option since i know many people have had similar issues because of this setting, but i couldnt really find it aside from disabling my headset in the input tab:  [IMAGE] I have also disabled a hands free option in the device manager: [IMAGE]   I'm running Windows 11. I presume this issue is fixed when I get my MaxxAudioPro to work but i really can't figure it out...Thanks in advance
Bluetooth headphones sound muffled and MaxxAudioPro doesnt properly start
