    Hey,

    i have another question about my 6920G. It seems like my subwoofer isn't enabled, i tried to enable it with the Acer HD audio manager and normally it should work. But when i tell my computer to play a sound trough the subwoofer it just doesn't.

    Any help?

    Sisionis, this is because the Tuba bass booster isn't actually a subwoofer. It's more of a middle-to-low-end booster that makes sound fuller.
    To see if it's working, fiddle around with the Internal Subwoofer level in your sound mixer.
    Oh, and it only works with the Realtek sound drivers from Acer - nothing else.
