Hi,
I have a strange problem with my bass: Whenever I play sounds I don't hear any bass at all from my subwoofer, but when I test the speakers using the driver configuration software, the subwoofer works fine.
To be more precise: My PC uses the motherboard ASUS P8Z77-V which has an integrated Realtek surround sound card. This is connected using AC3, i.e. three cables for Front, Rear, Center/Sub, to my admittedly old Receiver Yamaha RX420RDS. This receiver is configured for 6CH Input. The 5.1 Surround Sound system (including the subwoofer) is connected to this receiver. The PC has Windows 7 installed with all the latest updates and drivers for the motherboard and the soundcard. Realtek delivers a configuration tool with the drivers that lets you test each speaker seperately. When I test the subwoofer I clearly hear the bass. When I play sound from any other application I hear all the speakers, but not the subwoofer. When I connect another stereo device to the receiver I hear the subwoofer all the time (so apparently, the subwoofer is not broken). I don't understand this. :/ Any thoughts?
Best Regards
