    I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing problems about the EAX Creative sound driver but I can't find any support for this specific problem I have. So I have a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I have the latest Realtek R2.48 driver installed along with the Creative software. Everything works however when I got to enable Bass Boost the program crashes. Its readout is this...

    Dose anyone know of a fix for this because this is getting ridiculous. There is so little support from Asus with drivers and quite frankly I'm tired of this.

    For some reason it dose detect the sound card on all versions. Also I used the Asus default one, R2.47, and R2.48 but they all crash only at Bass boot. I cleanly uninstalled them before doing anything. I also can use the Ease of Access Center and Steam with no problems.

    I'm having the exact same problem. I used the Realtek 2.49 drivers and the Creative Audio Center v2.00.06. Weird thing is I don't have the EAX options in the CAC screen, I just have 2 buttons: Speakers and Mixer.


    Any ideas?

    This is a known issue on all these laptops and there have been many threads about this. Refer to the G73JH Problems and Soultions thread in my signature and next time perhaps try a search before opening a new thread.

    Than use the other options.. either uninstall Creative completely or just do not use bass boost.
