    When I got my computer fresh out of the box, I remember MaxxAudio was working. I could change sound tone from EQ and all.
    Now after a week and several updates and everything was thinking the sound coming out of the speakser was very thin and weak.
    Opened MaxxAudio app and noticed that changing values (EQ, midnight, etc..) had no effect. The music was coming through it, but the app had no control over it?

    Have tried EVERYTHING. Installed newest realtek drivers, uninstalled, installed newest intel drivers and everything. MaxxAudio just doesn't have any saying over the music and the sound is weak.
    Having Win 10 w/ CU

    Any help?

    Ok! Problem solved!
    It WAS the new BIOS. Rolled back to 1.3.5 and MaxxAudio works again :)

    All good now.
