    5.1 sound has stopped working after newest Feb/Mar 2020 update


    Hi,


    I've been blissfully enjoying 5.1 sound for about a month now. It took me forever to get it working after I bought my new A/V receiver, but I found that simply running an HDMI cable from my Nvidia graphics card, straight to the receiver, worked perfectly.


    The audio device is listed as "LG TV 2 - High Definition Audio Device." I have the speaker setup on 5.1. Like I said, it used to just work so simply and perfectly, but after this new mandatory update, I'm only getting audio from two channels. I have no idea how to troubleshoot or fix this one.


    Thanks

    :)

    Vista Automatic Updating Error

    Resolution Suggestion:

    # To resolve this problem, make sure that BITS and the Automatic Updates service are started..

    A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!

    1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

    2. In the list of services, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Properties.

    3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.

    4. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

    5. Right-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and then click Properties.

    6. In the Startup type list, click Manual, and then click Apply.

    7. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.
