Windows 10: Spatial Sound greyed out when using Realtek Audio drivers

IS there any way to enable Spatial Sound using Realtek drivers? It works when using High Definition Audio Driver from Microsoft..

:)

 

Spatial sound is not available on this device

Hi Michelle,

Sorry for my late response. The answer to your questions re as follows:

1. It has been recurring. I tried reinstalling the driver as prompted by the audio troubleshooter. The spatial sound option would be available after reinstalling the driver. It then disappears the next time I use of my pc. Tried this process a few times
but the result is always the same.

2. There was no error message. At the spatial sound tab, it says "Spatial sound is not available on this device". The option to select None, Windows sonic and dolby atmos for headphones are greyd out.

3. I have updated my driver. it is the latest available update from Lenovo support.

Driver provider: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Driver date: 07/03/2017

Driver version: 6.0.1.8083



I hope my answers help solve this problem.

Regards,

Paulo

 

Spatial sounds

I am having the same problem with the latest version of Windows 10. When I click on the sound icon and hover over spatial sounds it says off and I can't click on windows sonic for headphones or click on
Dolby atmos for headphones and when I go to playback and click on the speakers (realtek surround audio controller) and go to properties and click on spatial sounds and than click on off it shows nothing but, off.

I have spent HOURS searching the web, Realtek, Microsoft, and Dell support sites with no success! Does anyone have a solution?

 

I was able to enable "Windows Sonic For Headphones" Spatial Sound with my Realtek audio.
Right click on the sound icon in the Notification area and that was an option.

 

May I know the driver version you have? Also, I have WavesMaxAudio on my laptop, it comes pre installed on it.. Do you think this conflict with spatial option?
