I thought windows had built-in support for dolby digital live, or is that just for the more expensive editions rather than OEM version? Can't seem to make it work.
Reason I ask is because I believe the sound driver for my mobo (ASUS Maximus VI Gene) audio has completely bugged out. Seriously. When I set audio out to 5.1 analog outputs (just got my powered rear surround speakers fixed today) I find that the front and surround outputs are switched around, and on top of that no audio at all comes out of the front speaker jacks anymore, even though they worked just fine only a week or so ago.
When I uninstall the audio driver software to revert to default driver, windows thinks all the audio jacks are unplugged. On top of that, windows actually spontaneously restarted when hotplugging one of the audio jacks (!!!) to try and make the OS "recognize" it, which makes me think there's a software issue at fault here rather than a hardware problem.
I thought maybe the built-in DTS Neo support of my mobo driver could help me here, but it says NEO support is only available in 4-speaker mode or above, and I see no way to set speaker mode when optical output is selected (creating a magnificient catch-22 situation). Setting analog out to 5.1 doesn't help at all, it makes no difference.
