#Microsoft hd audio 5.1 drivers#
You would have thought being a newish PC the drivers would be up to date but not if the build was some months earlier and pre Windows 10. You might like to see if you can update your realtek driver if you haven't already done so to ensure they are W10 compatible. I have checked for realTek High Def audio drivers and on it looks like there is a more up to date Windows 10 compatible driver 2.79 dated 25th June 2015. I am on Windows 10 Professional not Home so there may be a slight difference here but not one I think should impact my following thoughts.

PS I believe this also may resolve / solve 5.1 surround sound issues for iMovies and other similar sound issues. If it does work for you spread the word on this solution. Hope this works for you - it did for me and is a confirmed solution by iTunes Support. If so next open iTunes and play your favourite song and it should play in all 5.1 surround sound. Surround sound on all 5.1 speakers should play.

Next click on Enhancements Tab and simply tick the Speaker Fill checkbox - click on Apply and can test to see if working by using Preview button. As with all things all it needed was to know which box to tick and the important thing to note is the solution lies not in iTunes but in a simple adjustment to your Windows 10 sound settings.įirst close iTunes (if open) then go to Windows Control Panel - Sounds - Select your speakers (probably you defaulted device) then click on Properties button. I had the exact same issue and pressed iTunes for a solution and after really engaging with them, they came back and after testing what they suggested I now have answer that works.
