Waves MaxxAudio Service Application take 70-90% of CPU
I bought a new Dell Inspiron 13 recently with an i5 7th gen CPU. Interestingly, the fan runs all the time. I realized that even just browsing youtube was causing this so I looked at the Task Manager. There I realized that if any application has any audio playing then there were two tasks that each consumes about 40% of the CPU all the time.
These applications are Waves MaxxAudio Service Application. What do I need to do to resolve this problem? I confirmed that my Windows 10 is updated. Anything else I can do fix the audio drivers or some software?

I just encountered this issue on an Inspiron 17 5770 (Windows10 1909). After finding my way to this forum, I updated the Realtek audio drivers to the latest version 6.0.8895.1, A16 from the Dell support site here As far as I can tell right now, it seems to have solved the problem.

I am also having this problem today. Although the CPU usage is 15%-20% for 2 Waves MaxxAudio processes.
I turned off this switch for all 3 tabs and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Hi, I have the same problem on my XPS 7590.
And yes, it is possible that it is because of more than 1 user logged in but the Problem is already there for years. I had some other Dell Laptops where I just removed MAXX-**bleep**. I can't understand why they do not fix such a bug?
Hope they fix it soon......
