Hi, I have a clean installed GM501GS and mine shows both DD and DTS option. For native surround sound the game has to support it, eg. Portal, Half-life 2, etc. You are talking about by other high end computers are all simulated surround where it will get stereo source and upmix to 5.1, 7.1 etc. By the way that DD/DTS from Realtek Digital out supports 2.0 to 7.1.
Could you give picture of what you see? Or the one below is your?
How do you have it connected to the sound system?
Computer HDMI -> Sound system receiver -> TV?
or
Computer HDMI -> TV -> ARC/Optical out to Receiver?
Sadly, a lot of newer games doesn't do surround anymore in PCs because people are content with stereo gaming headsets.

Hi thanks for the advice, is yours using Realtek to do the DD and DTS? I've noticed mine is using nVidia HD Audio. It does state what format it can accept but there's no option to select anything. Sorry, I disconnected everything so I can't grab a screenshot atm.
How mine is connected is: Computer HDMI --> Audio Extractor --> Toslink (optical) to the sound Receiver
My receiver can't accept HDMI so I'm using the audio extractor as a bypass but it should work the same. Things that are natively DTS or DD works fine like videos playing on the computer, even the Netflix app. But everything else that is 5.1 outputs as PCM which doesn't go through multichannel. Your computer actually shows an option to pick and choose DTS and DD? That's crazy that mine doesn't as the GX series should be better right? Can you please provide a screenshot if it's not too much of a hassle?
Thanks a lot of your help :DD

Yeah it does it's set to 5.1. When I said I was using the official drivers, I was using the audio Realtek ones, the nvidia is just the one automatically installed by windows. Do you think I should try the one from the support page since the playback chosen is the nvidia one? Thanks heaps

That's exactly what I have. I though the computer could output DTS or DD on the fly being a high end machine. Trying to output at least 5.1 ahah. Thanks for your help though. You've been super helpful 😄
