Make sure your integrated audio is enabled in BIOS otherwise no driver will be able to find it.

audio is enabled in bios and both of those drivers doesn't work, still no 5.1 sound

Did them work in Windows 8? Perhaps Windows 8.1 is the problem.

Or VIA has to do some fixes.

If it worked in Windows 8 then you should complain to Microsoft. How a minor change in their operating system could make a driver useless!? :shadedshu:

I would definitely give these IHV/OEM supplied drivers (6.0.11.0500 WHQL, 05/28/2014) a try. They actually target both Windows 8.1 64-bit and VT1705:

@Blue-Knight system was reinstalled from Win 7 64 bit to win 8.1 64bit. no test on win8 was done.

You probably will need to select Windows 7. I used to have a similar card and it was considered part of the "Envy24" line. Windows 7 drives work fine in Windows 8 though.
