Windows 10: windows 1803 has no 5.1 spdif audio available

the same board 5.1 spdif audio works fine on windows 7.

So I am upgrading to ver 1903, will this give me 5.1 spdif audio sound
I only have stereo coming through on spdif.
I was reading up and people were complaining they had lots of sound issues with spdif in the earlier versions of 10.

on ver 1803, going to spdif properties all it lists is a selection of 2 channel audio outputs. That is where the 5.1 output should show and it is not showing.

Does this mean it will never work in windows 10 as Microsoft made it?
claims its using hdaudio.sys

If it does not work in win10, how can I get working 5.1 thru spdif. Can it come through the nvidia card itself?

Aspen 7548 motherboard uses Realtek alc888s will this driver work?

5.1 channel over SPDIF / optical not working since update(?)

Hi,

I understand that 5.1 channel over SPDIF/Optical not working after update.

I suggest you to try the following methods and check:

Method 1: Update your audio driver

• 1. Select the Start button and type
     device manager in the search box, then select it from the list of results.
     
  2. Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it.
     
  3. Right-click (or press and hold) your sound card, then select
     Properties.
     
  4. Select the Driver
     tab, and then select Update Driver.
     
  5. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
     

Method 2: Fix sound problems.

Suggest you to refer the article Fix sound problems
in Windows 10.

Thanks,

Problem with SPDIF/IO on Windows 10 with Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio

Deepak, thanks for the detailed response! Actually the troubleshooter solved the issue because it

has a switch that directs all sound activity to the SPDIF digital output. This switch is missing in the system settings.

In the updated drivers for my specific sound card, The SPDIF settings are strangely disabled. Once I checked the 'digital only' check box in the troubleshooter. All the missing sound returned.

It is recommended to consider to add such option in the Windows 10 settings as many users will connect their Windows devices as home cinema media centers.
