okay, something is wrong with our new laptop

whenever there's video playing, something called "waves maxxaudio service application" starts eating up 15% of CPU time, which maxes out one core and puts high usage on at least one other

searching turns up nothing conclusive, but there are people complaining about it

any advice?

hmm, restarting seems to have helped it
