When I plug the speakers into my old XP laptop the sub outputs sound just fine, which leads me to believe it's a Windows 8 issue.I'm using the Realtek drivers that came installed with Windows 8 (version 6.0.1.6738). Has anyone else experienced this with their sub? I'm wondering if updating to the 6.0.1.6873 driver from the Realtek site would fix this issue. I'm usually reluctant to install a driver outside of the official Windows Update site because from my past experience it can introduce more issues (as apparent even in this thread).</blockquote>
