G751 Subwoofer-only Sound Problem OFFICIAL SUPPORT THREAD
**************************************************
As the title says, all of my laptop's audio is only playing through the Subwoofer.
After a few things went wrong with cloning my old drive onto my new SSD and I ended up needing a fresh install of windows 8.1 x64 Pro - I've now gotten my computer to it's previous state, and I've transferred my files over + downloaded and installed all drivers from the ASUS G751JT support page. (Including the audio driver: "Audio_Realtek_Win81_64_VER6017335")
Thing is, after doing a speaker test now - finally in a place where I can hear them 100%, unlike the mall where I originally tested them - the sound is distinctly coming from only the subwoofer. If I make any level (Left/Right Volume) changes to the center/front/rear/subwoofer in the audio settings, only "front" makes any difference.
It makes the ONLY difference. (See: 0 = NO SOUND -> 100 = SOUND) Levels change completely normally when using headphones.
When I plug in the headphones, this screen pops up - if I go back to its settings, and select a 5.1 surround sound setting for my options, it says I have no side speakers. When I run the test and it lights up the speakers in the image while playing a sound on them, the results are the following:
Before you recommend it, deselecting "Swap Center / Subwoofer Output" does nothing.
.... What do I do?

- Left & Right Channels play through Subwoofer
- All other channels (Center, Rear Left & Right, Subwoofer) fail and do not play a sound. (Though the ambient noise of it failing to play a sound can still be heard from the subwoofer)

Sent off my info to Marshal... let's how that we get a fix soon.
OT: I also have found that any BIOS over 202 limits us by a multiplier on the core which means slightly less performance which is a drag. This CPU is surprisingly underpowered for the GPU. I find it strange that most of the previous gen gaming laptops were the 4800/4810 and now they are all 4710. I wish we could overclock more like previous Asus ROG laptops!!!
Exostenza, as reported so far, the 203 BIOS reduced the multiplier, but the 204 restored it back to normal. And, I haven't seen a report back for the 205 BIOS yet.
The previous generation G750's were all 4700HQ,4710HQ until recently with the 4860HQ. The 48x0's are new... you might be thinking of the 4500, which was the other common part during the last generation.
Most of the other laptops had 4700MQ while the Asus ROG's had the HQ series, which has a couple important options for doing Virtual Machines.
I don't think the CPU is under powered in the things I am doing. You do know you can unlock the multipliers with Intel XTU - which now comes installed on the G751's. You can slide the sliders up for each core and the CPU cache.
Like this:
Increasing the Turbo boost wattage helps sustain performance through load peaks, recently was pointed out by another forum member. Stopped my glitches in some streaming video that had recently come about with a doubling of internet throughput from 60mbps to 120mbps.
Try it, you'll like it 🙂
Did you try the 205 BIOS yet? Are the multi's ok?

Hahaha! First of all I was that forum member that pointed that out to you! Second, 204 still hampers us as the max four core multi is 34x and not 35x as you can well see in your screenshots. My last gaming laptop was an MSI Dominator GT70 with a 4810MQ in it and it was 1600 bucks which is curious why this so much more expensive laptop has a worse CPU. I will try 205 soon, but I don't see why they would have missed it in 203 and 204 then all of a sudden fixed it in 205. I mentioned it to MarshalIR or whatever his name is in the same email that I sent my audio information in and I hope he gets back to me.
