Hello everybody,
due to my purchase of the nu audio pro 7.1 I first want to say that Im very happy that I finally got a propper upgrade to my Xfi extreme music from back in the days. After reading all these posts I still do not understand how to get this problem solved. The "bass management" checkbox is not offered to me in Win 10 and my AV Reciever (Onkyo TX-SR606) is not performing as it should and did while connecting it via HDMI to graphics card. I only get bass when I activate either "all channels set" to get a 7.1 upmix or put it in stereo mode. This means listening to music is solved; but when i switch to "pure audio" or "direct" mode, the subwoofer remains silent, as well as in games. I do not know if this is a problem of my poor knowledge, or of the reciever, but with HDMI and my old soundcard it worked (after checking the box of bass management) in either the creative soundcard control or in win 10 control section. But it seems to be missing in win 10. Im glad to not be the only person missing this and any hardware or thirt party software is not what I search for, it is simly the checkbox to activate bass management and set it to propper 80 hz. Furthermore the reciever tells me that the sound is for example DTS HD Master Audio when playing it via HDMI. The nu audio pro stays silent when using the windows player, I only do get sound from it when using VLC and choosing the right audio signal - this then sounds amazing - so Im willing to take this effort. Last point to be mentioned is that via soundcard or HDMI I can choose 7.1 in the windows speaker settings, win 10 does not seem to offer this to me when using the nu audio pro. Anyone else is experiencing this? I do not know how hard a driver update it, to fix this bass management problem, but this is the last step that I need to get things done. If anyone here can name a AVR that is doing the job, please feel free to add any. If I test the speakers when clicking on the windows sound controll I do get a signal out of every speaker, when testing it with the nu audio pro software, the sub remains silent. futhermore does sub work in 7.1 dts / dolby tracks but not ingame. Thank you very much for helping!
best regards
