Hello everyone
In the 5.1 sound settings on my old PC, I had the option of activating the sub via "Bass Management". (AC97 i think) With this setting set, music with the teufel Concept E Magnum sounded great. Without "Bass management", the sub was not active and the bass was completely absent.
Now with the new sound card on the Z790 PG Riptide (Realtek ALC897 Audio Codec) I no longer have this setting in the driver and the sound is completely without bass as before without bass manangement enabled. Can anyone suggest an alternative driver or solution to this problem?
In both cases, the Windows speaker setting was for sureset to 5.1:
