I have 2 problems with my G75 that I am 99% sure is driver related and there is in fact NO fix as of now that I can find.

Problem 1. The subwoofer is not linked to mute when headphones are plugged in. This includes both normal heaphones and iPhone headphones with mic. I can produce it over and over on queue and is NOT intermittent like people say it is on the forums. They are just not reproducing the same situation. "At least this is my experience." ( From a technical aspect I can reproduce it enough to call it not intermittent). All new (headphones already plugged in) webpages and programs that produce audio will initially still allow sound to come from the software unless you mute or alter the volume by 1 level up or down. (Drive problem? Defiantly yes!) Since it does not matter what software you use.

My suggestion for problem 1. Get the product development team to rewrite the drivers so that the subwoofer is allocated in the same way the normal speakers are and give us more control of the levels of the subwoofer in the console. The subwoofer is often to loud initially to balance out the audio in the first place and this also needs to be addressed as a tweak.

Problem 2. Intermittent keyboard lights they will not turn back on and the fn + up or down will not work for them to get them back. I know how to reproduce it but it does not always respond but it does happen enough that it is very aggravating. Anytime a screen or battery saving function initializes the keyboard lights have a chance of going out. This happens even when you switch uses modes with the on the fly performance button next to power and it also happens when the screen is closed and reopened, when you sleep or hibernate the computer and when you screen saver initializes and wakes back up. I have reproduced ever one of these situations and it is intermittent. (Driver problem? Defiantly yes!) Since it does not matter if you reinstall drivers or what you change in windows. You can still reproduce it.

My suggestion for the problem. Have the developers get there hands on a G75VW-DS72 load some games or websites with that uses some graphical power then do one of the things I mentioned above while the program is running and I am 99% they can reproduce the problem and then rewrite the fix into the drivers.

I have reproduced both of these problems even after trying to reload my entire software back to factory default with my BD Recovery disk I have.

There are tons of people who talk about this on the forums but ASUS has not owned up to it.

LOOK.... It's a problem in your software and your drivers. PERIOD. Can we please own up to it and get it fixed? I didn't pay 2099.99 to have a laptop that has flaws. This is not the in the character of the ASUS ROG branding. I can understand everyone makes mistakes we just need to get this fixed and move on.

I would like to also add that the keyboard lighting can easily be fixed if you need to temporary turn them on to use them again. Restart your computer.
