Asus G73jh Subwoofer Help.

Could anyone direct me towards a link on how to get the subwoofer working on my JH please.

I have tried creative and realtek drivers but I cannot get them to work together and run 2.1.

Any help is appreciated.

 

You have to throw us some details bro. When/how did it stop working?

 

im in the same boat..just did a recovery of windows via the recovery partition and i cant tell if its working or not..i have creative already downloaded but everytime i try to do the bass boost thing it freezes up ( the program and i cant do nothing with bass at all) and i dont see a CMS-3D setting anywhere..

is the latest realtek on asus or realtek website?
and im on 211 i need to be on 213?

 

Have you got the original drivers? I just installed the latest Realtek driver 2.58 I think and then Chassity did a post on the oiginal drivers ISO for the G73JH I just installed the Creative driver from that and bingo subwoofer and all the EAX 3D etc. Use your original driver disc to install the Creative bits and pieces with a later version of Realtek and it stops the crash when you go into bass.

 

no i dont have the drivers cd as i bought this off a friend. I just installed the lastest realtek driver tho 2.58...and i have the creative 1.0 installed from asus website. what version of the creative do i need? also i the latest driver for the ATI HDMI...does it matter that im on BIOS 211 and not 213?

 

The subwoofer should work without the Creative software. Anyhow, check in Device Manage under Audio Devices to see if its called "Realtek High Definition Audio" or "High Definition Audio". If its called the latter, they you need to reinstall the Realtek Driver again and reboot when it asks. As the latter is the Microsoft generic drivers and it will turn the subwoofer into a seperate playback device from the 2 speakers causing it to not work. Also under setup for stuff like MPC-HD, don't choose 2.1, it won't have any sound that way. 2.0 is fine and the Realtek drivers split the source accordingly.

 

its the realtek hd but i still cant get into like the bass settings and i dont even see a cms-3d setting.

 

Did you check the Windows Audio app and see if you have 2 "Speakers" entries? If so, uninstall, reboot, and run Driver Sweeper 2.85 for the Realtek Audio. Then reinstall the drivers.

 

what do you mean windows audio app? and where can i find that program?

 

Right-click the Speaker icon, and select "Playback Devices"

 

I checked mine it theres only 1 "speakers".. what does that mean?

 

shows realtek hdmi output, speakers ( just one) and realtek digital output.

 

if there is only one, then your speakers are properly setup, at least as far as the drivers are concerned. You probably just want to boost the bass levels

 

thats my problem cant do it on the using the creative audigy 1.0 and using the latest drivers...i used the xfi mb with the modded drivers and i can access all the features like im suppse to. so why i cant i do it with the new stuff?

 

anyways, i really dont care that much on system's speaker. I always use my altec lansing speakers or my headset.

 

I have a win7 update for the Creative software you can try. Follow the instructions.

 

tried using that already and still nothing. id like to use my headset but i cant get the headphone jack to work either...my friend took it to a pc repair shop and it had repasted and cleaned. so maybe the "tech" dude did something to it? is the headphone jack on the mainboard or on a daughter board..dumb question i know but i dont want to get the bad news that the jack is f'd and id have to replace the entire MB.

 

Have you tried reinstalling windows?

 

about 4 times now..using the recovery partition...havent tried straight up installing windows then the drivers. figured id get the same results or no? with something like the headphone jack id figure it would work straight up with factory settings..or am i wrong?

 

Then try a clean reinstalling of windows. If it still doesn't work, then talk to your retailer for an RMA.

 

do you think the recovery img is somehow corrupt as far as my audio goes?

i fixed it!!!!!!!!!! the headphone/mic was unplugged from motherboard...sub is working now...but i still dont have bass boost and all that do i need to reinstall the creative audigy to get bass boost, eax and all that good stuff?

 

Hi I have exactly this problem. Could you please write a bit more complex manual to it. For example I do not have any idea what to uninstall and where to find it . Thank you

 

Download the current Realtek Audio Driver (2.63) and Driver Sweeper 3.1.0 from my Driver and Application Reference.

G73 Series Driver and Application Reference

Go into Control Panel and select "Uninstall A Program" From here, you will see the huge list of drivers an apps that you have installed, including one called "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver". Select that and hit "Uninstall" Follow the prompts, and it will ask you to reboot. Do so.

Run Driver Sweeper, and select the Realtek Audio option. It will want to do an analysis first, then remove the unwanted entries and driver pieces.

Then run the Realtek 2.63 installer. Reboot.
