You could use some kind of plugin in your music player to copy stereo channels to back channels, so than sound chip encodes it into something an AV receiver should recognize and you get a quasi quad sound.

Or maybe mkv files with sound encoded into 5.1 aac, which is not recognized by most AV receivers, but you can use for example XBMC aka Kodi to play it and it will re-encode it back to Dolby Digital on-the-fly, no need to mess with drivers and settings, everything autoĭon't know what else could be used for really. This feature is mainly used for games, and sometimes for surround music, most probably 5.1 flac or 5.1 DTS Music Disc. They don't create surround, they are just a way to get non-standard surround audio (which really means something that isn't DVD standard - wiki link) to the recever via S/PDIF, so your source has to be multichannel. It works! And I can listen to all kinds of 5.1 music via s/pdif connected to AV receiver and surround!Įdit: yeah, on Gigabyte GA-MA970A-UD3 with Realtek 889 chipĪnother problem is that you expect something different from DD Live or DTS Interactive. Which is a bit annoying to turn on and off. But it is available in control panel > sound > realtek digital out (properties) > advanced Doesn't bother me much, but it would be nice if that could be removed.Īlso, in Realtek control panel in Windows 7 it was nice and easy to change settings, because it looked like this: Which leaves that watermark in the bottom right corner. after few tries this is what I discovered:įirst you need to this: and when when everything is right with signing that sys file, in my case it wouldn't work without running in test mode all the time.
On Windows 7 it was a bit easier to make everything work, and in Windows 8.1 well. Hello, I just registered to say thank you for making this work.
