Windows 10: M14xR2 windows 10 subwoofer not working

Hi,

ever since windows 10 my subwoofer has stopped working. I know there is a locked thread were someone reinstalled the sound driver from a windows 8 update, and worked. I want to know which driver was used because I’ve tried the one from Dell’s website but no luck. This is the past thread:

first my bios is missing a lot of options that I had till version A04, my Bios now is A11. I don’t know if it has anything to do with it. I believe there was an option to turn on or off the subwoofer.

I’ve seen a lot of people with audio problems since windows 10, none till now has solved mine, I even bought a new subwoofer to replace the other one, thought I had blown.

Any thoughts?

:)

 

Asus subwoofer not working on windows 10

Same problem here. The subwoofer was working in Win8. As soon as I performed the update last week (Nov 7th), the subwoofer only emits this high pitched noise that Miryan mentions.

The device manager indicates for the audio that the latest software is installed. Any suggestions?

Hi Marcus,

There might be a chance that if default audio device is not selected as external subwoofer that's the reason of no sound from external subwoofer. So, I would suggest you to check the default audio device and see if it not selected as default then try to
set it as default. For performing these task you may refer to the steps provided below.

• Windows key + X, click Control Panel, click
  Hardware and Sound, and then click Sound.
• Playback tab. Make sure the correct default audio device is selected. (For most users, the default audio device is
  Speakers.)
• Playback tab, select the correct device, click Properties, click the
  Advanced tab, and make sure that Default Format is set to the value that you expect. When finished, click OK.
• Playback tab, select the playback device, click Configure, and then make sure the configurations are set correctly.

If the sound settings are set correctly, and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to "Verify that an audio driver is installed" now.

• Set Default.
• OK to save your settings.

Do keep us updated.

Regards,

forums on the topic and tried every suggestion i saw. I still hear nothing through my external subwoofer. What now?
