Dell XPS 8700 Realtek Wave MaxxAudio Problems

[pwcrickman]

I have a new XPS 8700 system (one month old) which continues to have audio problems. Even with the Wave MaxxAudio turned off the audio output has too much mid range and the bass/treble is cut off and the sound is much worse than it should be. When the MaxxAudio is on the bass and treble are too high (even at the lowest settings). Is it possible to uninstall the MaxxAudio software without uninstalling the Realtek driver? If I were to update the Realtek driver (factory installed version now) would I have the option to not install the MaxxAudio software? The MaxxAudio application does not appear in the list of Programs in the Control Panel -> Programs and Features.

I noticed when I reviewed the Device Manager sound components that there are three entries: 1) the Dell AC211 Stereo, 2) the NVIDIA High Definition Audio and 3) the Realtek High Definition Audio. Are the NVIDIA and Realtek competing with each other? There are both enabled (as far as I can tell).

Thanks for any help.

the NVidia sound goes thru your dvi\hdmi cable to your monitors speakers if it has them. the realteks goto your speakers\headphones.

you have to diable one/ set one of them as standard main out the dell realtek hidef recomendation, everthing else wont result in proper sound.

under control panle-> sound
in the realtec soft ware enable (chek mark ) enable auto popup when device has been plugged in.

Please provide step by step instructions for disabling the NVIDIA driver. I do not have any speakers on my monitor.

search "sound" when it pops up look for the speaker that looks like sound. cklick it, now you are in the play back tab now click "speakers, realtec High Definition Audio" and on the bottom it should say : set deafault. thats it now all sound comes ot of speakers you have hooked up.

make sure you not muted make sure volume is up !, reset browser or whatever you are playing music / sound out of . i would just restart in you case.

if you clike the enhancment tabs on the sound, you can diable all enhasments there too the treble, bass what not.
im sry i keep posting but you also want to set the qulity to cd qulity and not DVD 48000 cause thats too high if its that high then there is your problem reset after that.
