    Subwoofer works in Windows Test but won't pick up bass otherwise


    Hi,I'm really confused. I'm having a LG SC9S soundbar set up with my LG C2 plugged on the E-ARC/ARC port.My PC, with a 3080 Graphics card, is plugged via the HDMI port of my TV. All drivers are up to dateI went in the Manage Audio Devices settings to set up Dolby Atmos as Audio Channel. I downloaded the Dolby Access app and everything.Now when testing on this very window the various channels I have no issues. All channels emit a sound when clicked on.However when testing the channels while watching a video, No sounds on the subwoofer. The rest is fine.I tried multiple videos and same is

    :)

    after upgrading to Windows 10 I found that the Bass speakers/ subwoofer is not working anymore

    I have a Logitech Wired Speakers, after upgrading to Windows 10 I found that the Bass speakers/ subwoofer is not working anymore. Also the option to control what speakers I use only allows Realtek headphones/ Audio. How can I modify this to the previous
    options on speakers? thank you in advance.

    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (Realtek) - No bass/sub-woofer

    • Speaker Setup plays all speakers fine
    • Applications do not play any bass through subwoofer (or really, at all)
    • Custom built PC using Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard onboard audio.
    • Windows 10 fresh install
    • Tried latest driver from Gigabyte, Realtek, and Microsoft
    • Windows "default" driver does play bass through sub-woofer, but audio stutters and is quiet.

    Not sure what else is relevant to mention; I've tried following various posts with suggestions to fix this, with no success. I've been at this for quite a few hours and am very frustrated.

    Please let me know if you have any questions, or suggestions on how to resolve

    Subwoofer works in Windows Test but won't pick up bass otherwise

    Subwoofer channel not available - Speaker Setup shows only "Stereo" under Audio channels

    OK, y'all. Turns out I was chasing a ghost. I did as suggested and played some heavy bass tracks, and the subwoofer is indeed playing as it should. I was wrongly trying to "test" it in the setup.

    Many thanks.
