Windows Sonic and Realtek Virtual Surround

In the Sound setting (Control Panel) I see Virtual Surround in Enhancements tab (provided by Realtek) and Windows Sonic in Spatial sound tab. Windows allow me to enable both of them. Just wonder what happen if I enable both of them? Shall I enable both
or I have to choose one?

 

Surround Sound on PC

Sonic isn't enabled on either the laptop or the PC (and can't be enabled on my PC anyways).

There's no option for 7.1 surround in Spatial Sound.

Thanks for the reply

 

Windows Sonic doesn't work in applications unless realtek is set to 7.1, which disables windows sonic.

Hi Dorklingshot,

I would like to know what device you were trying to work with Windows Sonic. If you're trying to set up Windows Sonic for Headphones, then follow these steps:

1. Connect your headphones to your computer.
2. Once done, right-click on the Speaker icon on the system tray, and select
   Spatial sound. If you have a drop-down option, then select
   Windows Sonic for Headphones. If you don't, then proceed with the next step.
3. On the Speaker Properties window, click the Spatial sound.
4. Under Spatial sound format, click the drop-down arrow, and select Windows Sonic for Headphones.
5. Tick the box for Turn on 7.1 virtual surround sound.
6. Click Apply, then OK.

Please update this thread with the result so I can assist you further if needed.

Regards.
