    Hi all,

    I've had for my XPS 15 for about 3 weeks now. One persistent problem is that for someone reason, sound only plays out of one side of my headphone (the left). The right has some barely audible sound coming out of it. This is only the case when i input headphones through the audio jack. The normal speakers and Bluetooth work perfectly. I figure since I am prompted by the Waves popup every time i plug in headphones, Waves must be responsible for the incorrect sound output. Anyone else have this problem, any fixes?

    Did you try fully inserting your headphones?
    Did you try testing a second set of headphones?

    If those don't work you might try uninstalling the audio drivers and reinstalling. I killed Maxx because it is terrible.

    I inserted the headphones in all the way and tried a second set of headphones, No Luck. I think I will uninstall Maxx. If I uninstall, will Realtek drivers take over my audio jack?

    Uninstall waves and realtek audio drivers. The old M$ audio drivers should run automatically. Try that. If not, download the realtek audio drivers and try that.
