Installed Drivers (Main Issue):
All speakers "working", but WITH massive imbalance issue.Sub greatly overshadows L/R Speakers & also distorts at volumes above 35%. Can hear sound very faintly coming from L/R speakers with ear pressed up against them.
Uninstalled Drivers (Temporary Fix):
Subwoofer (Only) is default playback device, with L/R Speakers being listed as a separate playback device. Left and Right Speakers working at full volume when selected as default playback device, with no sound
coming from subwoofer. Subwoofer can play audio when selected as default device, but distorts at volume levels above 35%, and does not work in conjunction with rear speakers in this configuration. (Either/Or Situation)
Reinstalled Drivers (Main Issue, Again):
Same effect as "Installed Drivers" every time. (All speakers "working", but WITH the imbalance issue. Sub greatly outpowers L/R Speakers & also distorts at volumes above 35%. Can hear sound very faintly coming from L/R speakers with ear pressed up against them.)
**NEW** Subwoofer Disabled (New Finding/Confirmation):
L/R Speakers can be heard perfectly fine when Subwoofer is disabled using the "Vbcmd_mute_int_woofer" Mute.exe file provided by MarshallR@ASUS on the ROG Forums. Cannot comment on volume level, but volume seems to scale fine without the subwoofer to overshadow it. This confirms the situation is a software issue, and all speakers are physically fine.

What was the point in creating a another thread for this same issue we were already discussing?

I would bet most if not all people having the sound through the sub only issue are actually experiencing the above mentioned issue.

In fact at first I swore I had the sub only sound issue as described by others and even when pressing my ears against the top speakers; I wasn't sure that what I was hearing wasn't coming from the sub through the chassis. Only after adjusting the sound to full right channel and playing the test tones could I clearly distinguish sound from the top speakers with my ear as close as possible to it.

That's what I think also, I do not believe that there's multiple different sound problems. It's simply the fact that we're all perceiving the problem differently.

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "Full Right Channel"? We've tested all the balance options after installing drivers, and only "Front" has had any impact on the volume level. Everything else at 100% also outputs nothing if Front is at 0%.
Can you elaborate?

In the Realtek HD Audio Manager there is a R/L balance slider. Move that all the way to the right. This does not effect the volume of the sub it only isolates the right channel making it easier to distinguish the sound as the right speaker is the furthest from the sub.
