Hello,

1. how to set 6.1 speaker system (optical output) with asus formula vi audio ? actually i set with first connect 5.1 somehow when i could use 5.1 or 7.1 ?
So if the 7.1 will work as 6.1 (rear speakers of 7.1 as one in mine 6.1 system)?

2. at this moment i can't go with configuration of spekaers in windows as i could first time in spekaer output settings when i choosed 5.1, i have lateste asus driver+realtek latest driver after it, it looks like asus software still.

please help 🙂
