So here's my problem, I've been trying for months to get this to work and I've had no luck even going through steps that others have posted about. I have a home theater system that allows 5.1 and i would like to use it. Windows says (under advanced in the properties tab) that my sound card can only play "2 Channel 96000Hz" as a maximum and it does a very awesome job doing that. now under supported formats I can select Dolby Digital and DTS when I click on them and test them I get the sound test ding-a-ling to ALL of my 5.1 speakers but sadly when it comes to watching shows or listening to music it only ever plays out of L and R and my sub woofer.
Optionally I wouldn't mind using my on board sound if it means that I can play 5.1 surround. whichever I use the Dolby Digital test button seems to be the only thing that I can play sound from in all of my speakers.
Question : How can I get the windows 10 to play from more than 2.1 channel?
This is my sound card
