G73SW 3rd speaker not working

Hello guys, I have a G73SW which I bought a year ago.

My problem:

I have 2 option in Sound setting.

1st setting enables the front 2 speakers to work, while the 2nd one enables the subwoofer 'below the notebook' to work but disables the front 2 speakers.

Is there anyway I can have all 3 to work together?

Below are what my Sound setting looks like and my current driver.



Many thanks!

 

It's likely the Creative drivers that are the issue, as it can be a bit tricky to get Creative and Realtek to work properly together. First try uninstalling all audio drivers, and then reinstalling both the Realtek and Creative drivers found on Asus' site, restarting as needed

If this doesn't work (and it may not), try following this guide: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...ive-x-fi-mb-2-your-g73-realtek-hd-2-62-a.html

 

hi..thx for ur reply.

firstly, according to device manager, I currently do not have any Creative driver, right? do i need it for all 3 speaker to work together?

 

Yes, I believe so. Realtek and Creative handle different speakers, and if you want all of them to work you'll need to get both drivers working together.

 

Would you mind to take a snapshot of your 'sound' driver in your driver manager for reference? Many thanks :thumbsup:

I think I may have given you some bad information, though.

Looking at your screenshots again, I believe that it's the Realtek drivers that are the issue, and not the Creative. If you haven't already, reinstall your Realtek drivers before Creative. This may be all you need to do.
