if I remove the weaker generated file, the DDL 5.1 works but with those speaker assignments screwed up. In the Sound devices section, I can neither assign DDL or DTS Connect, I get a message saying the device is not capable of it. The DTS option is now available but using the Realtek HD manager to set it to DTS results in a freeze of the manager. I used the tweaker as suggested to create a HD config file. But in the new driver, only Dolby Digital LIve option is present. PS: I also tried DTS in the old driver and it works. Is this a configuration issue somewhere or is there a bug in the driver? Why is the channel to speaker assignment different in the latest driver while it worked fine in the older driver? If I configure the client to output 7.1, the SR and SL in that output correctly go to SR and SL speakers.
If I configure a client to output 5.1 (which worked fine with the older driver), the FR,FL,C,SW work fine but SR and SL sounds come through FR and FL and nothing in SR and SL.
When I updated to 8911, the speaker assignments are screwed up. The speaker assignments for 5.1 were fine. I only use it for the Dolby Digital Live 5.1 encoding and the old version worked well except for occasional blue screens.
