I'm using the audio from the HDMI or displayport coming from the video card itself. I do not seem to have them on this PC at the moment. Seems Nvidia's video cards tend to lock audio options based on the HMDI port info reporting at least.īlack_zion, I seem to think I had realtek drivers on a computer I owned, if not this one. I imagine the latest available drivers for my card, if not the drivers that came with it out of the box should have the 5.1 audio drivers.Įither that or the video card is pulling the TV's info through the HDMI (apparently some video cards can do that?) and reports to windows that the speakers are stereo, despite the TV's outputting my PS4 and Xbox One through the optical with surround. Sounds like my drivers are out of date then. You can use an Active adapter to convert one of the Non-HDMI video outputs on your GPU card to HDMI to connect your PS4 or XBox or TV.Įlstaci, I already found that menu after rummaging around through google but it only gives me the option for stereo. The only sound I had was from my Onkyo Receiver while still getting Video to my monitor and/or TV. Then I had a second HDMI cable connected from my GPU Card to my TV. Then from my Onkyo Receiver HDMI Output I had an HDMI cable connected to my Monitor. If the PS4 or Xbox has video output, then connect it to the TV.ġ- HDMI cable connected directly to my Onkyo Receiver and made the 'Default Audio Device'Ģ- HDMI cable connected directly to my TVīefore I got my DP Monitor and had a previous HDMI Monitor, I had my HDMI cable connected directly from my GPU card to my Onkyo Receiver input (making it my default audio device in Sound panel). You may want to connect directly to the PS4 or Xbox, whichever has the 5.1 audio, directly from the GPU card and make it the 'Default Audio Device'. Unfortunately, you can only have one 'Default Audio Device'. But the TV & Monitor speakers don't work since I have the A/V Receiver as default. Thus I have both 5.1 sound while the TV and Monitor are on.

In my case, I have one HDMI cable from my GPU card connected to my Onkyo A/V Receiver and made 'default Audio Device' and then I have another HDMI cable from my second GPU card output HDMI to my TV. It isn't seeing what is connected from the output from the TV to your PS4 or XBox. If your HDMI cable from the GPU Card is connected directly to the TV, that is why it will show Stereo.
