Windows 10 audio problem

[rauxiliusb]

Hello,

I recently bought a new motherboard, cpu and RAM and installed Windows 10 for my first time.

Asus ROG Maximus Hero IX
Intel 7700k 4.2ghz
DDR 4 16gb 3000mhz

And installation went problem free. I installed all new drivers from ASUS website and updated my BIOS to latest version. Installed everything else i wanted.

So lastly i configured my audio to 7.1 setup since i have 7.1 Razer Tiamat.
Bass were missing and the sound was flat. So with help from this forum i managed to fix that problem and my sound worked amazing as it did with windows 7. Installed SupremeFX manager (when i had windows 7 it was called Realtek HD audio manager) also latest version from ASUS website.

Amazing sound when watching or streaming a movie or listening to spotify.

So i figured it was time to test some games.

I started up Assassins Creed Origins, and startlogos appeared with great sound but as soon as i came to the main menu i heard a small crackling sound and volume, again like in the beginning of my audio config, became flat and without bass and also low volume.

Ii was like it changed from 7.1 to stereo on its own whenever i started the game.

So i tried PUBG, the same result. Crackling sound then changed to stereo.

I tried couple more games and it was the same with all.

Ive had this problem for 3 days now and ive searched forum after forum without finding anything that could help me solve this problem.

It is like i cant quite figure out which keyword to google as english is not my native language.

I hope someone here can figure out what my problem is and why the sound kinda default itself when starting games.

Thanks in advance.

Did you configure 7.1 audio within the games?

Can you activate the 7.1 button on the audio control unit of your headset?

In ACO i can not configure 7.1 audio. Many games doesnt have that option either.

7.1 is already active on my headset audio control.

try the latest driver directly from realtek.com (hd audio codec)

I tried with that driver too, did not work. Same result.

It worked fine on Windows 7. Its the flat and bassless sound with low volume that i have problem with with all game applications.

Its like my sound settings doesnt apply to games but everything else.

I have, somehow its settings doesnt apply to any game. Only music files, movies and browsers. But not games.
