Users have created a tool to fix firmware issues with the Audeze Maxwell 1
A new tool has been developed to address firmware issues with the Audeze Maxwell headset. This tool allows users to fix the left/right audio balance and flash any version of firmware, despite Audeze disabling the official rollback feature. The process requires careful steps to ensure the balance is corrected and baked into the headset's firmware.
- ▪The tool fixes the L/R audio balance permanently in the headset's firmware.
- ▪It allows users to flash and downgrade firmware versions that Audeze has disabled.
- ▪The imbalance issue was introduced in firmware v1.0.1.61 and affects certain units.
