Waves MaxAudio Pro, a thousand times over. It comes preinstalled on Dell XPS laptops. It is used to control the combo audio jack, and it is used to control the speakers. Without it the speakers on windows are quiet and sounds like tin cans.
When you plug in a headset, after a 4 second pause, it pops up a dialog asking what type of device you connected. After the dialog you have another 4 seconds pause while it mounts the device. An 8 second wait while an incoming call is waiting is an eternity.
And god forbid you accidentally unplug your audio device in a call, it goes to the internal mic, and after restoring the device, MaxXAudio wont pop up the dialog until you leave the call.
It is so bad, my next laptop will not be another XPS, even though nearly everything else is great about it.
