Windows 11 surround 5.1 doesn't work on the back channel

I already know, see my screenshot on page 1.

I can tell you what your problems are --- you don't know what you are doing and you randomly switching stuff on and off.

On page 1, Netflix Windows app didn't work and Cyberpunk 2077 worked.

On page 4, Netflix Windows app worked. On page 7, Cyberpunk 2077 and VLC didn't work.

Why? Because you randomly switched things on and off. Now you are wondering why center channel doesn't work, of course it doesn't work because you swap center and subwoofer channels. Your center audio signal is going to your subwoofer. Your subwoofer audio signal is going to your center speaker.

Go and read back all 8 pages and you will understand that I am the only person here on this thread to actually know what I am talking about from my first comment on page 1.

You re-installing the OS and the drivers are not going to work because you don't know what you are doing. I do not think that you have a software problem. You have an end-user problem. Not only do you not know what you are doing, you have to argue with me about it on page 3 about the existence of upmix in SS3 --- which you clearly didn't know the existence because you never included in your initial screenshots.

Your computer cannot be fixed because you cannot be fixed. It is an end-user problem.

why so rude?

i have tried and tried with all the possible combination and what i wrote some posts ago is the facs after all the testing.

it's not complicated to understand if i say that when i change audio settings in the realtek audio console it changes absolutly nothing.

no one single button works. they do absolutly nothing !

nothing ! nothing changes whatever i try. NOT A SINGLE BUTTON WORKS

If you go into windows and allow Device Default Effects, in the System-Sound-Properties-Audio enhancements options, do those buttons in the Realtek console have any effect?

I am able to change the volume on individual speakers where if I show Off, nothing happens.

Why so rude for you? You have a problem, you asked for help. I pinpointed where the upmix feature in SS3 should be turned on. Go back to page 3 and 4, you were so adamant about you were right and I was wrong. Then a few pages later, now you are pointing about the exact screenshot that I posted on page 1 like you founded America like Christopher Columbus.

It's not complicated to understand to the rest of the world that if you randomly switched things on and off on that screenshot, you would have randomly switched other things on and off --- thus making none of the realtek buttons work at all.

Hi, this option was allways on

Tried to turn OFF test the settings in the realteck audio consol and then turning it ON and tried to change setting in the realteck audio consol.

nothing works, nothing changes.

when i change the settin Device Default Effect on and off, i hear that it switches. but nothing else changes.
