Windows 10: New Upgrade Realtek 5.1 Driver Sound Issues

Hello I finally got my copy of Win 10 but I'm having problems with my 5.1 speakers when I first upgraded there was no sound at all then I re-installed realtek_hd_audio_6.0.1.7464 drivers and I have sound but only from main speakers. Rear speakers do not give any sound. I tried changing default format 48k or 96k didn't work. I'm in need of your expertise.

How to get 5.1 sounds from Realtek HD Audio after upgrading to Win10 from 8.1

I also have realtek HD audio, but am having the same issue with 5.1 Dolby digital live. "failed to play test tone"

would this fall under the same issue as DTS 5.1?

upgraded from Win 7

I have tried official Realtek R2.79 drivers. still "failed to play test tone"

I can get 2 channel sound, just no 5.1

 

5.1 surround output through optical jack audio using windows 10

I used to play 5.1 surround sound through the optical jack output on my surround system when using windows 8.1 but after upgrading to windows 10 it only allows me to play as stereo output.

The sound playback panel doesn't allow me to configure it to 5.1 surround and only shows stereo output settings.

I upgraded to the latest realtek drivers but it's not working.

 

Control Panel/ Hardware and Sound/ Look for the icon with 'Realtek HD Audio' and select it.
You can then reconfigure as needed.

 

Yeah done that. It's set to 5.1

 

I installed the latest drivers as well. Still no fix. I have sound from front speakers but rear speakers give no sound at all.

 

I have FL, Center, FR, woofer, RR, LR speakers.

This is what I noticed. If I select 5.1, I have no R/L rear speakers sound, I think others may have experienced this.
If I select 7.1, my RR & LR speakers are now active.
Strange. Might be a software shortcoming?

 

Interesting! I Just tried this and it worked. I have a 5.1 system and selecting 7.1 configuration from Realtek Audio Manager fixed it for me. It's still not a viable solution though.
