Why 5.1 not working ?

[toronto699]

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 ,

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

Just to mention.

Now I use this modded driver:
