NOTE: The patcher gets some false-positive detection. But it doesn’t require elevated rights to be executed and it’s 4 years old. So I would say it’s quite safe. The only way i could get surround from the optical was disabling hdmi audio intel audio in my case in device manager reboot and done! Im in win10 using vlc. Sign up to join this community.

Learn more. Windows 10 and Realtek Optical Output 5. Asked 5 years, 11 months ago. Modified 1 year, 6 months ago. Viewed 88k times. No sound. Likely due to a codec issue though It is not DTS 5. When it gets to LTE channel, nothing plays at all, silence. Each speaker has it’s own channel and the test file works flawlessly. I can confirm that it is playing “original” file and there is zero transcoding taking place. I’ve tried tons of plex settings, nothing seems to work. I get 2 channels only and LTE doesn’t work at all in the test file.

The below is true for the unlocked realtek R2. But it’s not treating the files right. So even though it says DTS, and it very well may be outputting that, it is downmixing everything it gets into 2 channels only! Improve this question.

The solution: You need to download this patcher alternative link that will enable the missing features. Download a driver that is still compatible with the patcher – in my case I’ve used version 2. I’ve tried to use the official one for my motherboard but the patcher didn’t work. Unzip the driver installer. Install the driver run “Setup. Reboot and finish configuration in the “Sound” window: a on the tab “Enhancements” check “Disable all sound effects” b on the tab “Advanced” select “Dolby Digital Live 5.

For anyone who wants to test if this is working, I found this test online that will go over the speakers: www2. Instead, Windows is only outputting stereo sound. Thanks for any assistance.

In reply to Kelev77’s post on May 7, Sure it is the job of your tv or your av receiver to decode the compressed 5. In reply to JosephT71’s post on May 8, Hi Kelev77, Got it, thanks. Also, are you using the built-in sound card?

Looking forward to your reply. In reply to Kelev77’s post on May 8, I don’t know because FLAC is not a format used in consumer electronics. In reply to Paul Abayon’s post on May 8,

replace.me › sound-audio › force-hdmi-carrydolby. I plug a fireTV stick into the HDMI splitter and I get Dolby out Way EDID editor (free) to edit the number of speakers and speaker.
