    Hi,

    I was listening to music, like everyday, and suddenly the sub just stopped. The sound quality went down and I was no more feeling the sub's vibration. I tried setting it, but nothing changes what ever I do, it just doesn't work anymore. I think I can feel somthing from it, but it's something little and it's a constant sound, it's not related to the music or game or what ever. I'm not sure about that, maybe it's just me. Anyway, any tips?

    Thanks

    Did you "drop" it on ur desk all the time? Since the subwoofer is on the bottom of the case, it could've been damaged due to the shock of placing the laptop onto the desk without doing it slowly. If you hear a constant buzzing from it, it is most likely dead or otherwise, the connector is probably loose.

    I updated my drivers a while ago and gonna do it again and no, I never ever drop my laptop, I manipulate it as if my life was in my hands lol

    *edit* I've just updated everything for the new bios to fix the missing keystrokes and my sub seems to work!
