Issue with Maxx Audio Pro With Windows 11
I have been using this without issue in Windows 10. My laptop, however is Windows 11,
When I plug in my earphones, I do not get a pop-up to notify me to select. The setting is selected.
I decided to update the drivers, so when I went to the Dell site and entered my Service Tag, I get the following message:-
This driver is not compatible
This driver is not applicable for with Windows 11. Choose another product to re-enter your product details for this driver or visit the Product Support page to view all drivers for a different product.
No Events found!

Dell Support site has both Realtek driver and WavesMaax package for your model laptop for Win11. Select Windows 11 as OS and check "Audio" in Category.
Install the Realtek driver first, followed by WavesMaax.
If you have trouble running WavesMaax, refer to my earlier post and install in Windows 10 Compatibility Mode.

Unfortunately, you did not tell us your laptop model, so I am unable to look up driver information specific to your model.
If you had a Dell driver that was intended for Windows 10, which worked for you, but Dell has not issued a driver for Windows 11, there is a possible solution:
Install the Windows 10 driver in Compatibility Mode. I recently did that to get Windows 7 audio drivers and app working on an old Inspiron on which I installed Windows 10. There are tutorials online. If you have questions after following tutorials, let me know.

So, we can be clear, in your original situation, you did have the pop-up option in the Advanced settings of Waves MaxxAudio Pro? If it was already enabled, you can try disabling it then try re-enabling.
Looks like you have an Inspiron 7380 and it does show Win 11, at least in the US. I don't know about your location.
You do need to remove your service tag.

Downloaded Waves Maxx Audio Pro from Dell. Windows 10 Compatibility Mode is not available to select on my Dell XPS 8940 running Windows 11. As you can see in the attachment it says Waves Maxx Audio Pro was installed successfully! It took only 1 sec. But there is No listing under "All Apps" or "Programs and Features" ...Its not installed!

I was able to get the Maxx audio EQ to finally work by going to the sound properties in Windows 11 settings and scrolling down to "Audio Enhancements" and after realizing it was actually selected as "off", turned it on by clicking the menu and changing it to "Device Defaults Effects" and then the EQ worked like magic!
