High memory usage for Waves Maxxaudio Service Application
HI,
I have a Latitude 7400 laptop.
I've recently noticed that the headphone jack didn't work (in normal condition, I used an USB headphone). After reading the Dell Community cases, I've installed the Waves MaxxAudio driver and application.
This has solved my sound issue as now the jack is working properly. However, looking processes using the task manager, I can observe that the Waves Maxxaudio Service Application is consuming about 460MB without even playing any sound. For infomation, I would like to only use the jack to listen to video or making internet phone calls.
Is that normal that this application is using so much memory ?? (I need this memory for other processes !).
The WavesSysSvc is also using 20MB...
500MB only to use the audio jack...
Thanks

It is the same problem here
This app consumes 250 - 500 MB of precious memory and my Windows 10 is already at 90% memory usage

Had this problem after upgrading to Windows 11.
Going to the Dell Support site I re-downliaded the Waves Maxx Audio installer (yes it was the same version as already installed) and ran the install.
Completely normal memory usage afterwards (4-5mb).25872

So I just recently upgraded to Windows 11 and my machine has started having memory exhaustion issues. WavesSvc64.exe is always the top memory consuming process at 600+ MB. I just did a reinstall as you mentioned, but after reboot it still immediately starts at around 400MB. So I guess this did not work for me

So I uninstalled everything and my system went back to Windows HD audio after a reboot, no more realtek. Audio was working. I intended to leave it this way, but after another Win update forced me to reboot again, all of a sudden I had no audio devices at all and Windows stated I had no drivers for the device. Not sure what that is all about.
At any rate, went through the update driver wizard and went through Windows update, it started downloading Realtek drivers again. After another reboot, I had audio again, but the Waves Maxx exe was back, although with a different icon as well as a different name: WavesSysSvc64.exe.
At any rate this new exe is only taking 3-4MB of RAM so looks like the issue is resolved.

I am facing similar issues and more. I have an Inspiron 14 5000 and my PC also has started to act weird lately. It's only a couple of years old so I am concerned. I also have been facing some issues where my pc goes into a strange pixelated display and gets stuck there leaving me no choice but to force shutdown. I hope they are working on fixes.
