Gigabyte X570 A Ultra - 5.1 sound from rear jacks

[M Pat]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone here has had any experience with 5.1 surround sound set up with this board.

I am using the latest Realtek driver from the Gigabyte site. Have connected my logitech 5.1 system as per usual (orange, black, green jacks) but am unable to have applications (eg games) recognise this as a 5.1 system, they only see 2 speakers.

Nothing of use to be had by googling.

Thanks for any input,

Cheers!

BINGO! How did I miss that??

Thanks guys. Really appreciate it.

Been trying to chase this down for a few days, quite a few articles out there with similar issues but no real resolution, mostly centred around trying to access the Realtek audio manager app.
Following searches on the codec (ALC1220-VB) was turning up some better stuff and I was about to try this :

Looks plausible. But no need now - the sound control panel did the job!
