Yep I cant get 5.1 or DTS working on a windows level, with any official drivers.
Meaning that it will switch to 5.1 or DTS, but only if the source material is setting it. (example: 5.1 video/movie in MPC-HC)
Unable set it in windows sound options, but if I play some 5.1 video it will switch to it.
But thats really bad for many applications and mainly games, as most of them read settings from windows, if you cant set it manually in the game.
So I have to use unofficial unlocked driver.
Exactly this version by Alan Finote:

Be sure to follow the instructions. You gotta disable driver signature enforcing (step 2) for it to work, as it is not officially signed and it is a custom edited version of the driver.
It will most probably get picked up as a virus (KGAGen.exe), but it should be ok. Used it for quite a few months now.
Any newer versions from that thread disabled 5.1 or DTS again, so I settled with that version (6.0.1.8158)...but it was some time since I tried.
After that you can simply set your Surround or DTS in windows.
Windows update might reinstall it from time to time.
My sound goes over S/PDIF (optical) and using Windows 10 64bit.
Good luck!
Wish it was properly fixed though.
Hello,
Do you know if this works on 7.1?
thanks
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.

1- Get a pre-patched DLL, There's one here https://www.mediafire.com/file/5tc02foihf429tu/RltkAPOU64.dll/file
2- Open Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\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
