We also had issues with the Chrome browser and head tracking. The reason? Apparently the Waves Nx head tracking feature doesn’t work in UWP applications. The 3D tracking would work with Windows Media Player, but not Windows 10’s default player, Groove Music. The other weakness of the Waves Nx Speaker head-tracking feature is that it doesn’t work in all applications. You know it’s working because the laptop’s webcam “in use” indicator is lit up, but unless you have the Waves Nx application open, you can’t tell whether it’s lost your head location. We also found that attempts to keep the sweet spot focused on our head would occasionally nudge the sound out of phase. Waves’ Nx uses channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays (ITD), filters (ILD), early reflections, and head motion tracking to replicate the immersive experience of hearing audio in the real world. Worth it :) Hi all This seems like an insane deal I should take but not a fan that they only support 1st order.

Im running the latest realtek driver and installed the MaxxAudio Pro app. Nx Ocean Way Nashville is powered by Waves’ pioneering Nx technology for immersive spatial audio. Waves Nx and head tracker is on sale for 60 dollars.

While it does work sometimes, we found the laptop would lose our head position if we moved too far to the left or right, and it sometimes simply stopped tracking us. Waves MaxxAudio Pro doesnt do anything I install latest 1.6.1 bios on my new g5 and installed a new 1tb ssd and did a fresh install of windows 10 1809. Use it with the Nx 3D audio apps to experience 3D audio on any headphones. Tracks your head movements in 360 degrees (full sphere) Use it with the Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin to make better mixing decisions on headphones. We loved many aspects of XPG’s Intel-designed Xenia 15 laptop, but the audio is a dog kennel of bad audio and everything we’ve come to expect from a typical gaming laptop today. Augments the realism of Nx software for immersive 3D audio. When you play a sound that is supported by the Waves NX speakers and shift your head slightly, the audio tracks your head to keep the 3D effect sound focused on your head’s actual position.
What’s different about the Waves Nx implementation in Dell’s laptops is the spatialization algorithms, which are tied into the XPS 15’s and XPS 17’s webcams. The company touts it as transaural playback, which is a fancy way to say algorithms filter and shape positional audio over the speakers to trick your brain into thinking a sound is behind you. One audio feature that I’ll describe as interesting, but not quite all there, is the Waves Nx head tracking feature. The Dell and the support a unique head tracking feature that watches your head position and moves the sweet spot as you move your head.
#Waves nx head tracker portable#
I actually preferred to listen to music on the XPS 15 9500’s speaker system, rather than using a portable Bluetooth speaker with my phone. Sure, you think that’s just a bunch of marketing hooey we’ve long been fed by manufacturers who believe seeing a sticker sells hardware (and it usually does).
