Good Evening Kiran,

I am running the exact same quickset driver which has been mentioned by you in the link provided. I have downloaded all Win 8 drivers for my Inspiron 5520 from the dell support website. All work fine except the MaxxAudio hotkey and also there has been no HD audio software by Realtek installed after running the new quickset.

Thanking you.

Regards,

Madhu

Good Afternoon Kiran,

Firstly thanks for the heads up on the issue and helping me resolve it. Secondly i now recollect what went wrong.

I was installing the Waves License Center (makers of MAxxAudio) and the installation stopped midway. When i tried to re-install the same it gave me a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error. I then re-installed all the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library packages i.e. 2005 SP1 X86 and X64, 2008 SP1 X86 and X64 and 2010 SP1 X86 and X64. This was done after installing the Conexant HD audio software and the Quickset.

The re-installation of the Runtime libraries must have deleted the reference to the Quickset and HD audio drivers from the libraries and hence my hotkey was not  working. This is just an explanation as to why this issue happened.

In summary re-installing the quickset and the Hd audio driver fixed the issue.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Madhu

Thank you Kiran :)

Hi DELL--Kiran K;

I saw your very excellent support you've given to many users here on the Dell Support Forum. I've been on the phone several times with many good Dell Technicians.. but nobody can seem to figure out how to get my MIDDLE Waves MaxxAudio button to work. I have a great machine- a Inspiron 17R SE 7720 running Windows 7 with 8gb of ram, 1tb hard, and a 2gb nVidia GeForce 650M video card. Initially the MIDDLE Waves MaxxAudio button worked but stopped

The BIOS is still A01 (even though the latest BIOS is A11- I was told today by Dell NOT TO UPDATE the BIOS). I did indicate I tried to update the BIOS, but like I said the Dell Tech said I wouldn't be able to apply the update to this machine!

How do I get the MIDDLE WavesMaxx Audio button to work? When I select Dell Audio in the ControlPanel- it does nothing!

Please help me!

Hi applguy,

 Apologies for the wrong information provided. I recommend you to uninstall Quickset from ‘programs and Features’ and then flash BIOS to the latest version and install Quickset by clicking on the links given below:
