Asus G55VW vibrating Subwoover/bad sound quality

Level 8
Hi all,

I'm proud owner of a new G55 NB and overall I'm very happy with it.
There's just one thing thats really, really annoying. The subwoover makes very clanky noises. it seems like the NB vibrates or so. Especially voices are kinda distorted.

In this test (German unfortunately) http://www.notebookinfo.de/produkte/asus-g55vw-s1073v/90nb7c232n2145vl151/00010914/#Tests) they've said that they had the same problems with it.

Is it a common problem? Is there a (software) solution for that?

I've disabled the subwoover and there isn't a problem anymore, but the sound isn't that great without it.
I don't want to send it back untiol I don't know if this is anindividual problem.

thx 4 help!

Cheers!

If Asus have provided G-series (Not only G55/75) audio system with the included in N55-series, it would certainly be great! I don't know why they ininst on puttin low-cost audio system such as problematic speakers with low volume when you compare it to other releases such as other brands' or N55.

Inhabitant, plus make a play with Realtek Equalizer Settings, and THX TruStudio, setting external speakers may hep and setting "powerful or treble" equealizer scheme would give much better audio based on my choise, give it a try.

Mmmm... no Realtek or THX TruStudio, they put a VIA Vinyl audio codec 😞
