I previously had an OEM motherboard with onboard 5.1 surround sound. I have a simple set of 3.5mm speakers and a 3.5mm subwoofer that worked fine and would play stereo sound through all sources.
I ditched the OEM board and upgraded to a Gigabyte GA-990fx-UD3 which has onboard Realtek HD Audio and I just cannot for the life of me get 2 channel sounds to play through the subwoofer, such as music. The previous motherboard did this just fine.
I've tried the following:
- Configured the speakers as 5.1 in both playback settings AND Realtek HD Audio settings
- Increased subwoofer volume under speaker properties
There is NO option for 'speaker fill' or 'natural bass' anywhere, which I thought might solve the problem. To make things even better... there is only one option under the 'enhancements' tab under device settings which is to disable all sound effects.
Anybody happen to know a solution to this? Maybe a specific driver that still includes these options which I'm assuming were phased out?
