  1. Suround sound 5.1 not working properly.


    About 4 weeks ago my computer suddenly stopped playing surround sound. It was fine before, it played all formats like Atmos, DTS HD, and all Dolby formats. When i look at the sound properties it still says i can play all those formats.

    I have changed nothing about my setup or settings, it just stopped working when i was playing some Dolby Atmos demo file. Maybe a windows update or something happened? at this moment i am clueless to whaht the problem might be.


    When i select Dolby Atmos under speaker settings i get stereo sound.

    If i select 5.1 or 7.1 i get PCM with several players (no dolby or dts). On windows media player i get again just stereo sound.


    What i already tried: Update drivers for sound and video, Remove driver, try different drivers and versions. Reinstalled Windows.


    Setup and drivers:

    Intel NUC i7, Denon Receiver, speakers

    intel UHD 620 display driver and Intel display audio driver

    Connected by HDMI

  2. Sound driver is not working properly

    Hello Jeff,


    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    What is the make and model the computer?

    Sound problems can be caused by cables that aren't connected properly, damaged drivers, incompatible drivers, sound settings, missing updates, and problems with your sound card.

    I request you to follow the below steps:

    Step 1: Uninstall the Sound card Drivers

    a. Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
    b. Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
    c. Search for the Sound driver from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers
    from the computer.
    d. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.

    After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.
    Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website.


    Step 2: Go to the Computer or Sound Card manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Sound Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

    I also request you to follow the below article:
