    How can I adjust the bass to the subwoofer. Just installed the latest realtek drivers yesterday and I'm not exactly sure if its working properly. I know I can do it in Creative Audio Center but whenever I click "bass boost" the program crashes.

    If you can't get them from the Realtek site, I've uploaded them (Windows 7 32/64) here.

    1) Update your Realtek driver to something current (latest is 2.55)
    2) Install Win7 update on first sig link below.

    I think I did something wrong... Installed the 2.55 drivers and now I have two speakers installed. One is for the main speakers and the other only produces sound to the subwoofer.

    Also, I was wondering if I could hook up 2 speakers to the headphone jack and still be able to get the subwoofer as well.

    Let me guess, you uninstalled the old drivers, and then went straight to installing the new drivers, without a reboot.

    :rolleyes: It amazes me that people do this considering the Realtek installers will do the uninstall/install automatically and clearly prompts the user to reboot and run again between the uninstall and install...
