If you're suggesting that I rollback, please ensure that you mention the Build version that is working in Windows 10 and that you have tested or seen results for that it is working. Realtek HD Audio Manager settings in Windows 10 Setting to 5.1 brings through side speakers, so need to set to 7.1.

adding some more information where I have got this working on Windows 7 successfully - Realtek HD Audio using 5.1. I've also tried via Sonic Studio - but again no luck Using 5.1 speaker configuration, forces side speakers only, no rear speakers and you can only use rear speakers on 7.1.Ĭonfiguration Testing works successfully, but then through VLC (MP3, Movies), Browser (YouTube) etc - sounds are still not appearing on all channels. Speakers configured to 7.1 with side speakers removed.

I've tried the default Microsoft Driver - again no luck.

Using older driver versions I've tried the Enhancements of Speaker Fill/Environment Generic - again this is not working - and are only available via the Realtek HD Audio Manager (I've tried going back to v2.81, v.2.80 - as the Realtek HD Audio Manager is not available in v2.82) With any sounds from VLC (MP3, Movies), Browser (YouTube) etc sounds do not appear on all channels.ĭriver: Realtek HD Audio: 6. However the closed is nice if your environment around you is noisy and you need that noise isolation.How do I get Windows 10 with Realtek HD Audio using 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound to work? With the bigger soundstage, it makes directional noise better? I'm not entirely sure but everywhere I've read had said that an open design would be preferable when gaming over a closed. I've heard that an opened design is better for gaming because of the larger soundstage. As an audio engineer I would choose 598s for music and the ZERO for gaming. The 598s are flat frequency response which means they are the more accurate of the 2. They are also open ear which will let you hear what is going on around you as well, but deliver less bass because of this. They have higher frequency response which is good for classical or jazz, but will not give you anything extra when gaming. The 598s are more of an audiophile headphone. They are closed ear so they will be isolating and deliver deeper bass. The last item you might want to look at if you are getting better headphones because if they are underpowered they will not sound as good as they can.Īs far as the headphones are concerned you are better off going with the Sennheiser G4ME ZERO if your main priority is gaming.

the sonic stage just switches software profiles from the motherboard and sonic sense will boost power for more expensive headphones. 2014 is the current SupremeFX package offering more 7.1 surround support and DTS connect. The primary difference with Supreme FX is in the software package being slightly different between them.

I don't suppose you may have some experience with these two cans to help me make a decision? Currently trying to find out whether the HD 598's are worth the extra money or not as I'm purely aiming to use it for gaming, more specifically directional and positional sound. Are these different in terms of different features offered? Or are they still the exact same from one another?Īctually I'm glad you brought up 200$ headphones, I'm currently debating whether to purchase the Sennheiser game ones or the Sennheiser HD 598s. You would need a high end sound system or some $200 headphones to hear any difference though.Īccording to this chart for the Maximus motherboards, there are different names for each motherboard of the SupremeFX, such as SupremeFX 2014, SupremeFX Impact 2. They are very similar, not exactly the same. Asus doesn't really give any specifications on their website so it's hard to figure out which chip it really is. Supreme FX is a realtek chip (can't remember which one) with some software and a bit of extra shielding from interference if I understand it correctly. So the SupremeFX has the exact same audio quality as the ALC1150? Basically a better software package, not audio quality improvement. SupremeFX controllers from Asus, whatever generation, is nothing more than a 1st tier Realtek sound controller with modded driver, which brings more features than quality. The realtek 1150 is the same as suppreme fx on the asus, all the suppreme fx is is a realtek 1150 codec with some fancy software.
