    first issue it comes from the sound
    when i lower the sound at 0 level and than increase it the sound becomes different like more "treble"
    this happens only if it is set to 0 , if lets say after restart it is at level 1 and change it at higher value this doesnt happen
    i have tried changing the driver to latest but without success

    second thing that bothers me almost a year is i cant control the brightness with these newest drivers
    what in hell is Ati doing with these drivers for mobile graphic cards
    i want to have the latest drivers and working brightness

    if anyone else is experiencing these problems and have found a fix or something share it

    not true becouse with the default ati driver that windows installs on windows 8 brightness is changable
    and i am reading that this brightness issue is global

    i have installed windows 8 on a lot older machines that doesnt even support drivers but for the G73JH every driver is supported
    i always want to update drivers becouse they bring a lot of performance on newer games , just look at the changelogs after each driver
    and this card doesnt seem outdated to me at all

    i might be clean installing the windows 8.1 update soon if i dont find fix for this

    @Kevin Wong, GentechPC:

    When do you clean up your name so we don´t get a malwarewarning with Google Chrome just by entering this thread????!!!

    @MiteJan: I disagree, new drivers are NOT always the best, you have an old G73JH now, and the default ATI driver is the best IMO.
