Subwoofer line out dead?

The realtek sound application can be accessed in windows by double clicking the red volume icon in the lower right hand corner within the windows tray area, goto the Audio I/O tab and set the combo box to 6 Channel sound. It will not work on any other setting besides 6 channel.

I do not have a red volume icon in the system tray.

I did find one in the control panel though. I also did use it to set the audio to 6 channel.

The sub out line is STILL dead.

Will updating the sound drivers harm anything?

As long as you use the correct drivers, reinstalling them shouldn't harm anything.

Besides changing the output to 6 channel and updating the drivers later tonight, what else can I do?

I finally figured it out last night. Turns out for some reason when you switch to 6 channel audio, it does not make the change until you reboot. So you have to switch to 6 channel, then reboot the G4. After that all was well.
