It is a Samsung CT-5550 Home Theater System. I am using an Optical cable from my Home Theater system into the back of the motherboard. I have installed Realtek's Windows 10 driver, Gigabytes Windows 10 driver, the driver that came with my motherboard, that previous worked on Windows 7 and fiddled with all manner of settings between all of them and nothing. It is not working. When I set the output to 5.1 and run a test, it tells me Test Tone failure. The highest output I can get is 2.1 channel @ 48hz. I can get 2.1 @ 92khz but it's spotty.

After upgrading to windows 10 pro x64 (from windows 8.1 pro x64) I have not 5.1 surround on my Samsung htd 5550. I use optical connection too. In fact when I go to control panel>hardware and sound>sound my Realtek digital output (optical) seems to work, but I can hear only 2 out of 6 six speakers working. The configure button is also greyed out so I cannot select 5.1 speakers. Moreover I can only see two tabs in the Realtek hd manager (digital input, digital output), the speaker tab is gone and there is no way to choose 5.1 sound like I used too. I have already tried removing Realtek drivers, installing the latest 2.79 to no avail.
