G7 15 7588 Windows 11 - Driver for Waves Audio Effects Component

Hello.

I've recently done a fresh install of Windows 11 22H2 and noticed that in Device Manager there's an exclamation mark on Waves Audio Effects Component (The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)).

Tel9MAi

Realtek Audio device driver (version 6.0.1.8642) has been installed by Windows 11 itself (probably through Windows Update), so I didn't have to manually install any specific driver. Anyway, I wouldn't be able to manually install an specific driver because Dell support page does NOT show any Windows 11 audio driver for this laptop (https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/g-series-15-7588-laptop/drivers). However, choosing Windows 10 in the support page presents a Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, version 6.0.1.8642, A03. As you can see, it's the same one that Windows automatically installed for me in Windows 11.

I've tried installing the Waves MaxxAudio Pro Application available in the support page for Windows 11, but it just links me to a Microsoft Store app. Installing this app doesn't fix the exclamation mark in Device Manager for Waves Audio Effects Component. I've also tried clicking Update Driver and then clicking "Search for updated drivers on Windows Update", but there's no driver available.

Any suggestion? Is it safe to install Realtek High Definition Audio Driver for Windows 10 in Windows 11? Maybe it includes a driver for Waves Component, but I'm not sure why Dell doesn't show it when I filter downloads for Windows 11.

@san-pei​ 

Realtek driver MCC2D states it is only supported on Latitude laptops =



Are you stating that you have installed it successfully on Inspiron G series laptops?

@n3ts3c3ng​ I found the Waves MaxxAudio Pro Application app in the Dell Driver Support page. It was listed under applications not drivers.
