Asus G73 JW Subwoofer not detected in Sound preference.

[Mobidoy]

I have an asus G73 JW laptop and when I look at all the profiles under material tab, there is not one that includes the .1 of the subwoofer, I have stereo, 4.0 surround but no .1 ....

When I play music no boom boom comes out of the sub...

Any fix ?

Any other owner of G73 JW can test that please ?

which device have you chosen for audio output? HDA Nvidia Digital Stereo (HDMI) o the other one?
Have you solved the problem with Powermizer makes screen flickering?

For sound device, it is the other one.... looks like the sound chip does not have a driver....

05:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5209 (rev 01)

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC259

For the flickering, no, it has not been solved yet.... Something to do with Nvidia drivers. I am using the latest and the problem still exist.
