How do you enable THX Trustudio Pro on Sager laptops?

When I open it up it says no supported devices found and all the options are greyed out. Does it actually improve audio quality btw? Seems like nothing but a sub audio processor for features and gimmicks like EAX.

Using the built in speakers btw.

 

Actually, it does make quite a large difference. You'll notice a significant lack of bass without it. You'll have to run the link to register your THX software before it will enable though.

 

What link is that?

And will the audio be less tinny?

edit: Found it, but I still can't select any speakers...It asks what speakers to use in audio device selection and I selected the Realtek HD audio, but the "Selection your speaker setup" under settings is greyed out, with the options in the UI

 

When you install the THX driver (or if it came preinstalled) it should just create a desktop/start menu link to "register THX" You may have to reboot, then open THX via the quicklaunch bar on your taskbar and enable it. After that, you can use the settings in THX/Realtek to get your audio working. The Surround/Crystalizer/Speaker options in THX seem to make the biggest difference. The onboard sub doesn't work (no surround sound options) until THX is running. It should get rid of a lot of the tinnyness.

 

the thx makes a huge difference. i use external altec's and the sound if very flat and unflattering without it. when i enable it you'll notice simulated surround sound right away and a fuller sound right away.

 

thx trustudio pro doesn't work for me!!its doesnt enhance sound.either is on or of its the same!!pls help me..thx.

 

Try pressing Fn + 5 (not the F5 function but the digit 5), that should activate the enhanced audio. It does on my P170HM/17CL37

 

this works only on P170HM not on P151HM1.some others suggestions pls???the sound is crap without thx.....

 

any help why its doesnt work for me??either is off or on its the same...help pls..3 days ago it was good..

 

@MALIBAL will the lotus p150hm that i ordered come with thx?

 

yep
10char

 

what do you mean by 10char?

 

You cannot post a reply less than 10 characters. Yep is less than 10 characters. Tacking on a "10char" fixes this.

 

I finally activated THX and it does make a different in the quality of the sound!

 

It does work on the P151HM. Fn + 5 (number 5 at top NOT F5). It's in the manual for P151/150/170HM, and P151HM is same as P150HM except for power supply.

 

I'm not 100% sure how to tell if it's activated or not? Can't really tell any difference..

 

^^

I cant tell the difference either, the subwoofer doesnt seem like it works. There is like no bass?

 

Then it's not activated. THX needs to be activated in order to use the subwoofer.

 

I activated the first thing when I got my laptop. I'm able to adjust all the settings, but it doesn't sound any different.

 

how to activate my THX...help PLS...i needd fulll guide.....i have my np8170...help22222

 

The onboard sub DOES work without THX, just turn the laptop around and take it to your ear.

Might be better with THX, im not sure. Im only using my external audiocard.

 

thi sager have 2 speaker n a sub at bottom .....how if i wan to combine all those 3 to play simultanesou ly....for now i juz can enable one of them...huhuh tot thx will fix it......some1 helpp

 

b0b1man is right!!subwoofer works without THX.now i use SRS audio sandbox and it works like charm!!!

 

SRS WoW is good!

I found something better - DSP plug-ins for winamp. Im using the BBE SONIC MAXIMIZER plugin (its used for studios and radio stations for bass and crisp sound). Unlike equalizers, the sonic maximiser doesent add harmonic distortion, but does something quite unique. The sound quality remains superb at high levels.

I could post a guide for using dsp plugins with winamp, but this forum isnt the place for it.

 

Just install it and click the registration link that shows up on the desktop or program menu. Once it's registered, it will work.

 

For all the guys who say that you dont feel any difference,try shutting off all THX features, play a song on youtube and turning them on one by one. This way youll notice it

 

I have a myth nyx1712 and yes it works, though I found it better when I set my settings in playback device in win7 as 5.1, the sound is very clear and very loud I can watch a film and the sound would fill the bedroom completely. I even watch films with my son in the living room on the couch while the laptop is on the table across the room.

 

I've tried changing THX settings while listening to a song with headphons. NO DIFFERENCE with any change.

 

I think it's relevant enough. You can post the guide in the off topic forum and provide the link here.

hey guys, i'm having the same issue with the OP, I have already clicked on the activation icon and it says it has been successfully installed however when i open the program i get the same message as the OP.

any suggestions?

 

Did you install the Realtek driver?
I have an MSI which has THX TruStudio Pro too.
I had the same problem but it works well after I install the Realtek driver.
Seems like it does not work with default windows driver.

 

Thanks! Apparently it was the wrong audio driver that came with the laptop. After digging back the drivers and utilities cd, I installed the correct one.. and THX is now successfully active.

 

sorry to bring up this old thread but there's an update for the THX Trustudio Pro application and it's version 1.04.12 released 10/25/2012 posted on the Sagernotebooks.com site. This version is compatible with both Windows 7 and Windows 8.

And yes, the Realtek HD Audio driver is required and has to be installed through the HDXTHX.INF, HDXTHX2.INF or maybe HDXRT.INF file of the Realtek driver package in order for the THX Trustudio Pro app to work.
