Waves Maxx Audio Pro not detecting any output device

Hello，Vinayak Nandan

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.



Knowing that you are not detecting any output devices in Waves Maxx Audio Pro, you can firstly go to the laptop manufacturer's website to download the latest USB drivers, override and install them into the system, then reboot the device to ensure that the audio-related drivers have been updated to the latest version, and then you can test the following two issues, which will help us to confirm whether there is any abnormality at the hardware level This will help us to confirm whether there is any abnormality at the hardware level, and make it easier for us to take troubleshooting steps at the system level afterwards:

• You may have another output device connected to the same port to check if it works.
  
• If there is another port, try connecting the headset with microphone to another port.
  
• Connect the device to another computer and see if it is recognised.
  

Finally, please right-click on the Start icon and select Device Manager, check if there is any microphone related content in the drop-down list of "Audio Input and Output".



Looking forward to your reply!

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.
