Unfortunately I am unable to tell exactly what Realtek audio chipset is used in the laptop. According to the DDL specification it supports up to 5.1, with Dolby Digital Plus providing the support for 7.1, you could try setting the speaker configuration in windows to 7.1 and then enable DDL mode...

According to the manual for your motherboard you have a SPDIF header on the motherboard - manual - ftp://europe.asrock.com/manual/H87%20Pro4.pdf page 10&11, header number 22. To which you should be able to then connect a SPDIF connector bracket to the header, such as one of these for example -...

This is spot on, mago first suggested he had a mobo with a missing SPDIF header he was looking to use, and given this thread is predominately providing support for those who wish to use 5.1 over SPDIF to an AVR using a Realtek device, I had indeed assumed that mago had an AVR/digital speakers...

matthewrex, stick windows in test mode, uninstall all existing realtek drivers, install these... https://www.sendspace.com/file/e5tmix You will need to remain in test mode for the drivers to work. If it works you shall be able to select DTS Connect and Dolby Digital Live from the Realtek...

Here is a the low down on the Xonar range... The DSX is a good card, tho it supports only DTS connect, the D2X support both DTS and DDL. Model Interface Dolby Live DTS Connect D1 PCI Yes No DG PCI...

Hi, if all you intend to use it for is movies, then the basic and modded realtek drivers will pass the digitally encoded audio track to the amp using SPDIF, once of cause you have said cable such as that example in the pic you linked to. If you wish to go the dedicated route, then the Asus...

Hi, do you have a SPDIF output connected to your motherboards header? According to pages 11-13 here - http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18505/eng/DH55TC_TechProdSpec.pdf Once you have a header module connected then you should be able to use the 5.1 from the realtek. As for the Xonar DG, I guess...

Music unless up-scaled via the media player app of your choice will remain in stereo and only come out the front 2 speakers. This is how mine works and how I expect it to work. Most music player programs tend to have an option or a 3rd party plugin that will allow you to upscale to 5.1. Example...

I am, however I intend to remove the watermark when i get round to it, too busy enjoying games in 5.1 via optical x]

Having tried the alternative methods previously with varying results, this one is working very well for me. Thanks for packaging everything together.

I had issues with the M1 method of patching, however the alternative A1 method (Windows Vista / 7 / 8 - 32 bit and 64 bit - R2.71 A1 (Alternative method):) worked well. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a A1 method released for R2.72 or R2.73 as of yet. After another week without using...

So after running these for a few months, providing the functions claimed, 5.1 digital output, I have unfortunately needed to stop using these drivers as I found that there was a memory leak, it is very slow, but there is one, resorting in my 16gb of ram being totally eaten up in approximately...

Set the audio output to DTS, then do not click 'test' as this will cause issues. Simply follow the instruction provided to swap the driver files over to enable DTS output. Once it is set you can then use alternative applications and audio sources to test its working correctly, using the test...

Credit goes to ils for the orignal .bat commands, I just packaged up everything together needed to make this work into, well, a single and hopefully easy to use package, and of cause host some long term mirrors of the package for others if they find it useful :) This has worked really well for...

Hi, try the links in this post for a download of 2.71 which worked for me.
