Even between 5.1 and 7.1 there are differences - when set to 5.1 you have to manually change the output jack to side speakers, and in 7.1 you have to set it to rear speakers! But the outcome is the same for me - all surround works in all applications, including the audio manager tests and in PowerDVD. Then you can select which speakers are actually connected and deselect those that are not such as sub, center etc. What worked for me was to set the sound in Realtek to 5.1 or 7.1 instead of quadrophonic. Setting the rear output to 'rear speakers' gets the sound back, but they no longer work in the Realtek audio manager test or anything else! Using side speaker the sound is fine both in the Realtek Audio Manager test, and from DVD's, HD TV etc.īut then a new complication arose when using Cyberlink Power DVD to play blue-ray discs with TrueHD sound - I lost the rear sound. The rear black socket defaults to rear speakers when you plug a jack in, but if left on this setting no sound from the rear at all. I'm not sure where this issue comes from, or if it is a failure to grasp how Realtek HD audio manager should be setup, but using quadrophonic spekers I have always had to set the rear output to side speaker. At least now I have an alternative to this issue. I searched day and night everywhere and I was getting sick of this.
I hope I could help some of the troubled people like me. Right-click on the Realtek device and select "Disable" (if no app is using the sound you should not be prompted with the restart message).Ĥ) Right-click it again and select "Enable". To avoid having to restart the system every time for the changes to take effect, follow these steps:ġ) Close every app which may be using the audio device (such as media players).ģ) Go to Device Manager, select "Sound, video and game controllers". reg files to switch between "real" and "fake" surround. My solution was to export 2 registry keys, one with the original configuration, and one with all jacks set to front ( or what suits you best), then just click the. The bad thing about it is when you want to play games with real surround sound, for all speakers would just play the same thing. I set all output jacks to "Front speakers", this way I managed to get good quality sound from every speaker. The "Pin02" was not present, but I add it and worked fine. In addition to his post, I found that in my PC these settings were in a different key (I suppose it's because of the driver version), so you might want to go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\" in regedit and do a Ctrl+F for "DevType_" and find the correct key for your version.Īlso, in my version (R236) the "Pin01" controls only the rear speakers, and the "Pin03" controls the side ones.
