    Hi all,

    I have an ASUS N750JK here which I am contrasting with my current N56 in consideration of switching. But one thing that is very clear is that the N750 speakers sound absolutely awful. Notwithstanding the fact that ASUS elected to put them on the bottom (?? What next? Keyboard on bottom? Trackpad behind screen?), they still sound terrible compared to N56, and that includes how they handle the subwoofer module, which sounds much worse on the N750 than the N56 with the SAME module.

    My question: is there some superior driver for the N750 or, perhaps, a Maxx audio type thing? I've looked but couldn't find it.

    Cheers

    ASUS hasn't spent much efforts on the speakers on these models until the release of G752 as its speakers are loud and great.

    Unfortunately, software isn't able to do much with hardware limitation.

    I think that's probably true but the subwoofer module is identical and even that sounds far worse when plugged into the N750. I feel like I'd be able to improve things with a better driver or sound manipulation utility, if I knew where to get one.
