    There's no point in doing any of that. Everybody on Windows 7 who has a Realtek HD Audio has this problem. Check the 5.1 Surround Sound thread. Should be on page one or 2 here...

    The only working methods that I know of are enabling the awful speakerfill option, or some other dumb enhancement that isn't true 5.1

    No drivers work. We've contacted realtek but they seem to ignore the issue. So, I've been using speakerfill since Windows 7 came out... Sigh.

    I was told to enable speakerfill but I cannot seem to find it anywhere

    That's where mine is at... But I'm sure you've already looked there.

    How odd....

    Don't forget that you can only get 5.1 sound from sources that are encoded as 5.1. If it is only a stereo source, you will only get a stereo output unless you have an audio processor that can generate the necessary channels from a stereo input. This is what Speaker Fill does. Note that whilst it does allow sound to be heard from all of the speakers, it is not true multi-channel but merely emulated.

    * Please check #5 post. The user do not have the 'Speaker Fill' option !!!

    * Yes, Realtek Audio has many problems for Windows 7. But, all we try are work arounds and it works in most cases. In the same thread, it has been solved for another user. :)
