Center/LFE Swap Option Missing

[munjakos]

Hello,

 

I have a problem with my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5) audio software. When i connect my 5.1 sound system, all speakers work except the subwoofer. On my previous mobo i had the option to swap Center / LFE and that fixed the problem, but that option is nowhere to be found in Realtek HD Sound Manager for this motherboard. I bought a cheapo sound card, but it did not work at all so i'm stuck with integrated sound.  Is there any other solution for this problem?  Sorry for my bad English.

 

As you can see in the image below there is no option to swap center/lfe.

 

 

This is how it was before on my old mobo.

Try to get the driver from realtek's website, by the looks of it your using the gigabyte one that came with the mobo? (as the window is branded at the bottom)

 

That may solve your issue.

These are the latest drivers from Realtek (2.71).

If you look, there should be an actual physical port to place the sub in as it looks like the new mobo has a 7.1 audio out set. Not just a 5.1 set of jacks like your old mobo, with then a software LFE.

 

At a guess that is why there isn't a switch, as they expect you to use that port for the sub.

 

Maybe try searching around for an option to swap center and LFE on your sound card, what is the exact sound card name, like hardware version/revision?

 

Also, you have more rear audio jacks filled on the old mobo, try plugging those in to the new mobo? (specifically the blue one?)

First pic that i put is mine i am currently using Stereo. Second pic is not mine i just found one to show what options i am missing. I've tried everything with the jacks, many configurations, even followed the instructions in manual, but no luck. Thank you for your help. I am just gonna have to buy a dedicated card.

Just to double check, you got them from here, right?
