Windows 11 surround 5.1 doesn't work on the back channel

Hi !

Thanks a lot, but all the links are the same as my search result and tries, many of them are the same. None of them works.

Just to point out that the Enhancement option, under sount propieties is is not there.

But if i change the drivers to "High Definition Audio", the setting is there. i have tried al the setting there too, the behavior is worse as with the "Realtek High Definition Audio".

So i decided to revert it to the default "Realtek High Definition Audio"





if i watch a movie on vlc or i play a game for example cyberpunk 2077 the surround system 5.1 works, it doesn't work with firefox, spotify, ... and other programs, and there are the other issues of the realteck audio control software.

Sadly no luck.
