Sound of G75 VX

[Kriss1]

Hello Rog's

i am happy finally to be a member of the rog society. I got my self a G75Vx recently ( upgraded from a Asus N56VZ ). I have to say i am impressed with the build quality, but there is something that bothers me. That laptop sounds not impressive at all. I know the N56 has the B&O sound, what is in a different league but still with the G75 its a mess. It is not weak but still somehow not right i don't get the stereo sensation at all. it sounds like mono, although all speakers are working just fine. The whole sound is somehow shifted to the left. I see, there are several posts on tweaking the sound of the G75VW, which is having a Via sound chip, but the VX model is having Realtek and that means completely different drivers with none of the options people are tweaking on the VW model. How are you dealing with that?

I agree, I didn't have this problem on my G73JH!!!!!

I hope everyone realizes that the "subwoofer" is located on the bottome left side of the laptop, therefore making it seem as if sound is predominantly coming from the left of the laptop. Due to the "subwoofer"s small size, it is physically impossible for it to emit low enough bass frequencies to be considered a sub, therefore implementing any type of lowpass filter in a future driver would merely cut out almost all of the sound it emits completely. Yes, this is a physical design flaw by ASUS, but what can you do? The separate volume knob for the "sub" is the best we can hope for.

Just my two cents.

Did you see the subwoofer on G73? It wasn't much bigger, if it all.

Actually you can't hear anything from the right side. The only way to balance it is to lower the subwoofer to 25%.

That's odd. I don't have that problem with my G75VX-DH72-CA. The sound overall is much better than my previous Toshiba Satellite!

Hi guys,

Based on what i have, the sound is not that bad at all and it just so happened that even when you put the volume of the speaker to around 30-40 it still sounds low but i have no issues with the sound being heard at the left side only and i will definitely give that driver that was suggested here a try to see if something different will come up. Also, i have a dfx audio enhancer installed just to satisfy myself with the low volume that i am avoiding. Haha. It does not completely resolve the whole thing but at least i am getting a different sound now.

Hi ashue,

what kind of DFX audio enchancer ?
