Hey everyone, I'm having trouble getting any 5.1 sound in the game, no matter how I adjust the home theater settings. In other games like Call of Duty and BF4, it works fine, but my rear speakers just play stereo. I've tried using regular 5.1 through Cinch, SPDIF out, DTS connect, and Neo, but nothing changes. The system details are Win 10 fresh install 10586.164. Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA with Intel Core i7-6700K, 4.5 GHz, plus Asus Strix GTX 980 Ti, Samsung 950 NVMe PCIe M.2, G-Skill 16GB at 3200. Anyone else facing similar issues?

Have you explored setting up speakers in Windows? Click the sound icon, choose Playback Devices, then right-click your speakers and pick configure.

It seems you're suggesting the system didn't fully install all required drivers.

The current Realtek drivers on Windows 10 are already set up—configuring 5.1 via the utility worked without issues for other games. I’m curious if there’s a specific problem with 5.1 or if others experience it too.
