Hello.
I'Ve just purchased an Asus Maximus Ranger VII, and although I'm quite happy with the product overall, my dissapointment (for now) toward the integrated sound card grows stronger.
I use optical wire, plugged to a Samsung smart bar. Problem is that in the Supreme Fx sound panel I can't find the "Sound" tab that allows me to switch among a decent choice of sound presets (rock, jazz, etc),; and the thing that bothers me the most..., there is no equalizer available. Here's a pic:
To my surprise, If I go options and switch from " HD audio" to "AC97 front panel", then everything I was looking for suddenly pops up:
Everything I want access to while using optical is in the "Sonic Studio" tab, as you can see. But the moment I set digital output to default, then what you see in the first pic is all I've got. Needless to say I can't switch to this output and set it to default (obvioulsy), but It's still being shown there...
Anyone knows a fix for this?. I come from a Gigabyte p35/ds4 that also had realtek sound. Also used the optical output with it and the equalizer/sound tab was available.
Also..., what is that waving sound I can notice when playing music/games?. It's so damn annoying. How can I disable such thing?
Thanks in advance, and sorry If this has been asked/posted before, which I'm sure It's been, but couldn't find anything related.
Help would be much appreciated.
Regards
