hi

i have a fresh installed system, with:

motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II

Nvidia 3060 v2

i have a classic 5.1 with 3 connectors, my issue is that only if a game for example cyberpunk 2077 and when i use VLC i can hear that all 5.1 channels are woking fine.

but, everywere else on the system the 5.1 doesn't work, like, firefox, spotify, netflix windows app etc...

i tried to changange some settings but nothing changed, tried to reinstall to, change the drivers but nothing to do.

tried to change setting on the Realtheck Audio Control programm, it's worst the i immagined ... the dB setting, the distance and all whe switches are not working

the only way to change the dB was to change it in the advanced audio proprieties.

My issue is that the surround system is not working with firefox, spotify and onther programs.

I have searched on the web since 1 month, and i'm writing here for desparation, because i can't find a solution for this mistery.

thanks in advice

Pat

    Pat, as you should be able to see the forums blanked out part of the link address. If I search the thread title it brings me to this same thread we're in.

    Can you provide a link to the thread that concerns you? If you notice it blanks out any part of it, just post the missing part (only) nearby.

    Hi,

    i separated the link.

    That's a mirror site that steals content from other websites like this one, so it's legit content but from a banned site. I searched the title and can't find the source thread so the must have truncated or changed the title. . But were you able to make any progress from the fixes it mirrored there? Again they are copied from legit sites.

    This is how it is supposed to work.

    In order for stereo sources to play in all 5 speakers, you need "speaker fill" (or aka stereo upmix). Asus removes the speaker fill feature in the realtek audio console and put it in Sonic Studio III. If sonic studio iii doesn't have it, then it may have been moved to another audio app (such as nahimic).

    OK, Let me know if I can help further. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case you need anything else, until the system locks it in a few months.
