Windows 10: Please need help with 5.1 surround sound

Hello So i just reinstalled W10 on an M.2 SSD recently but i am having an issue : i can't get my 5.1 speakers to work. I am using a GIGABYTE B55M DS3H motherboard and i have the software installed but for some reason i have no audio. Does anyone know what can i do ??

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

the concern more precisely, please provide information on the following:

5.1 surround sound

Just upgraded to latest Windows 10. Surround sound is not on audio channel menu. Only "stereo" is listed. Surround sound is also now not working on ONKYO receiver. Windows says I have latest sound driver.

All other help messages talk about realtek. I just have what came with Dell computer.
