Missing Advanced Options on Realtek HD Audio Manager. Need help!

[phoenix-force411]

I have a:

Toshiba Satellite C55t-A5102 Laptop

My Audio version is: 6.0.1.7083
My Audio Codec is: ALC269

Is there a way where I can somehow get my Realtek HD Audio Manager to have Advanced Options?

I've looked at several of the forum's threads and they don't apply to my laptop version nor do they answer specifically. I am trying to get the advanced options to show up, because I need the Speakers and the Headphones to be two separate channels and not just one, because it really screws up the audio when I'm recording games with just the Speakers.

Found this if it helps, but if it won't work for an ALC2** in Windows 7, doubtful Windows 8 will either....

I have a Windows 8.1 (64 bit), and I'll take this into account, but I need to know if there are more alternatives besides this. It looks great though, but before I start messing with my devices to a major point I just need to see if there are other safer alternatives.

Bump...if it works like that....

Okay, I rolled back my Audio Driver, and now it's not Realtek anymore, but it managed to install the headphone device, but when I updated it, it got rid of it and went back to the default driver. When I roll back the driver, I get the headphones as a different channel, but once I do that I lose Stereo Mixer as well. Gosh, Laptops are such a pain! Currently, I am using the roll backed driver, and so, it's not Realtek and I have lost the Realtek HD Audio Manager until I update it again, but that still leaves me in the dirt, because I still don't get the Advanced Options in Realtek HD Audio Manager....

Time for Lateral thinking!
Perhaps one of these would help, not too expensive, two channels (Front & Rear)
