But for some reason, when i open the THX TruStudio, i only get external speakers, and headset. But heres the funny thing. No matter what i swap between, or turn it on/off - Cant hear any difference.
Before i formated, and did all this, it actually did improve the built in speakers by quite some bit, and i really did hear it if I turned it on/off.
I installed the realtek drivers from both Asus.com and a sticky here: But no go.
Any hot tips ? 😃
CHeers for awsome community btw 😃 Ive read ALOT and enjoyed alot of posts.

Well....I'm sure Asus would be happy to hear how pleased you are! But honestly, I've seen a lot more people who have problems and complaints about their Asus laptops, and people who've sworn off Asus forever.
I'm kind of in between. I think the basic design of Asus laptops varies a lot....some seem very solid, some seem kinda cheap. But overall, I think their quality control is suspect, and far too many people get brand new machines with issues out-of-box.
I do know what you mean about Toshiba speakers....far superior to anything I've ever heard in another laptop. (The G74 speakers are simply awful....there's no way to sugarcoat that.) But to be fair, Toshiba put a subwoofer in most of their multimedia laptops....the Qosmio included, right?....and that makes an enormous difference in what a laptop can do. It's kind of frustrating what an afterthought the sound is in the G74, because I think there's room in there that would have accommodated a much better design....including a bottom-firing sub.

I know that sounds harsh, but all this stuff is made over there and we've all seen that some products are total crap, while other products (Apple devices, the Kindle apparently...) have top notch build quality. Corporations are so hungry to squeeze out every bit of margin they can muster....and labor is one of their favorite places to cut back.
I wish Asus would design the laptops and manufacture the motherboard and let someone else manufacture the notebook. Someone like motorola or whoever manufactures the Kindle Fire for Amazon. That thing is NICE for $200
