So you fixed it then. Well my problems are worse...

I might be seeing this too, but I also have other issues going on right now (or did anyways). Think I'm going crazy. This is the only report I see on it today?... or recently

What a troll... I'm done with you. I'm pretty sure whatever solution you have isn't legitimate 5.1.

The very first thing you did when I got here was tell me to leave and that there's a fix, but won't say what it is. I've been looking for alternate true fixes to when this happens for 3 years now. ...

Ugh... I've had that issue before (I think closer to W7's launch maybe). I wish I remembered how to get it back, but I think it just was... use the latest drivers from the Realtek website and hope...

You still haven't stated what that is other than going back to an older Windows build (or "Go back where you came from - the mod thread."). I came here asking if anyone here might know of another...

No, that is not why... I am well aware of how the update system works and what drivers I have installed.

lol guys, It's not about that... and the signed drivers thing hasn't been an issue with it for a long time. The point I'm making here is that every year with a Windows build, Realtek Optical Dolby...

I'm more likely to think it's Microsoft's problem again, but... I can't say for sure.

I just... don't understand why this happens every year in a November/December Insider build...

Just finding this thread now. Been on the TechPowerup Realtek Unlocked thread for years. Anyone knowledgeable talking about it here? as Dolby and DTS are broken yet again this year in 14986.
