Windows 10: How to swap left and right SPDIF/DIGITAL audio output?

I have a 2.1 speaker setup, but I have to place the Right speaker on the Left on the right side due do a cable length problem. I am not able to reverse the left and right output audio when in digital. Any suggestions?Is there a registry setting that I can change to force windows to swap the audio out? Thank you for assisting me with this little problem.AUDIO - Realtek ALC1220 - Driver - 6.0.9423.1MotherBoard - B550 Taichi

5.1 option missing from SPDIF output

You may need to review your soundcard but I don't think 5.1 is supported via SPDIF.

I would suggest you check the speaker system itself. BTW I wasn't aware you could get 5.1 from the SPDIF out line? Though I'm no longer using the board my Gigabyte Z170 Gaming GT board has pretty much the same soundcard as you and it doesn't list 5 channel for the SPDIF digital out line.

Anyway if you say you were getting 5.1, who am I to argue. Anyway check your speaker system. You might also check the sound settings under Control Panel > Sound > Playback tab. Right click the SPDIF device and hit properties. Click the Advanced tab, and under Default format dropdown box check that 5.1 is selected (if supported). Again, I didn't think 5.1 was supported via the SPDIF out on PC soundcards, but....

Let us know.

 

Problem with SPDIF/IO on Windows 10 with Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio

Deepak, thanks for the detailed response! Actually the troubleshooter solved the issue because it

has a switch that directs all sound activity to the SPDIF digital output. This switch is missing in the system settings.

In the updated drivers for my specific sound card, The SPDIF settings are strangely disabled. Once I checked the 'digital only' check box in the troubleshooter. All the missing sound returned.

It is recommended to consider to add such option in the Windows 10 settings as many users will connect their Windows devices as home cinema media centers.

 

What could be wrong with SPDIF output?

I have a computer where the S/PDIF audio output has been working for years.

I introduced an SSD into the system to help speed it up.

Of course that meant a different copy of Windows was in place, but also suddenly my sound output to my audio system stopped working.

The driver is the Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (High Definition Audio Device) which provides a facility to test audio output. When I run the tests I hear the audio tones from my S/PDIF audio output on my sound system.

Sound settings tell me that my sound output device is the Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (High Definition Audio Device).

When I try to play any audio from the computer I am greeted by dead silence.

The tests would suggest that there is nothing wrong with my S/PDIF driver, but I don't understand why I am not getting any sound when playing an audio file.
