I have the latest realtek drivers installed and I have every enhancement expect speaker fill. I configured my speakers to 5.1 and the test sound comes out on all speakers but when playing anything they act like 2.1 and I understand the speaker fill allows to have all speakers play but I don't have that option. I can only get 5.1 if the output for the video, music player or game is configured to 5.1.
OS: Windows 1909
You should ask Mokichu himself (the guy who repackage all the ROG drivers) at
[Update] Realtek High Definition Audio | Page 64 | My Digital Life Forums
Well I'm now using the modded driver from github because I had trouble loading Realtek Audio Console and Sonic Studio but it seems all enhancements are handled by Sonic Studio, still no speaker fill. The version I'm using is 6.0.8899.1 UAD one not HDX
Does anyone know how to get the speaker fill option back?
See if this works for you: Fix: Channel Surround Sound Not Working in Windows 10 - Appuals.com
Tried all those methods already. The 1st method is the one that's missing
I know its an old thread but did you ever manage to fix that problem?
I have the exact same issue but with Asrock B550M board and Relatek divers/Nahimic app. I cant output from my 5.1 surround system unless the audio source is a 5.1 one, and the Speaker Fill feature vanished somehwere.
Only work around I have found is to use a 3rd party Audio mixer called Voice Meeter but its not super practical
thanks so much
Hello people. Here's your solution: Drivers for Realtek High Definition Audio after version 2.81 don't have the realtek audio console, and therefore, the wanted "Fill speakers" option.
Just install the 2.81version and you will have your problem solved.
Realtek doesn't provide the driver anymore, but you can get it from other sites.
Here's one:
Realtek HD Audio Codec Driver 2.81 for Windows Vista/7/8/10 Driver - TechSpot
Enjoy your working 5.1 in stereo speakers.
Best regards.
HDA drivers prior to 8856 (which includes 2.81 and 2.82) has a security vulnerability.
