Windows 10: Soundproblem after clean install of windows

Hello!

So yesterday i did a clean install of windows because i felt that my pc was being slow, so after i had installed all of my drivers i noticed that my sound was like "locked" at 5.1/surroundsound its doesn't say its 5.1/surround but i can hear it very clearly when im playing, so after some hours trying to google thing the problem and trying to uninstall drivers and the install them again i had enough, i did a clean install of windows again and the same problem occurred again.

I have a soundcard and i have disabled that and only tried to use the motherboards soundcard but that didn't work either its still surroundsound and i even tried to use nvidias "soundcard"ish and plugging my headset in the monitor, but it the same everywhere, keep in mind this happened after i did the clean install of windows and this has never happened before.

Motherboard: MSI Z170-A PRO

Soundcard: Creative Sound blaster Z

Windows 10 Pro Version 1903

Every drivers are on the latest update, i have tried going to older and that didn't work

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Windows Vista Clean Installation

To do a clean install on a fresh hard drive with Vista on an upgrade disc, you have to follow certain steps. Buying a full install CD would've been easier, but using the upgrade disc only adds more time, so it's not that big of a deal.

Follow the instructions here to do a clean install with an upgrade disc: http://www.vistarewired.com/2007/02/28/perform-a-clean-install-with-a-vista-upgrade-disc
