DTS/Dolby are proprietary encoding methods. Companies such as Asus and Creative etc have to pay licensing fees to Dolby to use them. Thats why they are not included as standard on the C6H.

Really to help you solve your issue we need more info. I have setup 4.0 surround off the onboard very easily, but not 5.1. However I have managed to setup 5.1 surround off an Asus Strix Soar soundcard.

Any source on where that one comes from?

Dolby/DTS are not natively supported on this MBO by Asus. See earlier post. That driver package has been modified by a 3rd party to enable DTS/Dolby output. Hence why it is unsigned.

It will the drivers that Asus provides with a few config files or lines of code modified to trick the hardware and software into allowing Dolby/DTS output.

It is most likely fine to use, however I personally would not take the risk myself and buy a soundcard which natively supports Dolby/DTS as then you are not running modified drivers that have been posted by a new account that have a very real potential of containing malaware.

On the same techpowerup forum, lost within the comments, there's a fast, easy and clean way to enable everything. Worked like a charm for me.
Credit to bottlefedc83:

1- Get a pre-patched DLL, There's one here https://www.mediafire.com/file/5tc02...POU64.dll/file
2- Open Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Audio
3- Create a new DWORD (32bit) value called DisableProtectedAudioDG with value 1
4- Go to safe mode and copy thee pre-patched DLL to your System32
5- Restart
6- Profit

Small difference, after downloading the .dll I had to rename it to RltkAPO64.dll to replace the .dll that is in the sytem32 folder.
Hope it helps

I Use An Old 8.1 Asus Driver From An Asus G30AB PC For Surround 5.1 or 7.1 Has Speaker Fill , V 6.0.1.7035 With my Logitech Z5500 speakers , Works For Me On Two Asus Motherboards and an Asus Strix GD30CI PC , With Windows 10 , 5.1 only Works If Source Is 5.1 unless An Older Or Modified Driver Supports 5.1 , Make a Restore Point If You Decide To Try The Asus G30AB Driver , So You Can Go Back To Your Installed Driver If The G30 Driver Does Not Support Your Needs ,
