Example playing Ghost ReCon Wildlands and there is some dialog but it is not coming out form the correct speaker(s) or in some case at all. I can get sound from all speakers but not in the correct format. I do not know which is the optimal configuration, but I do not seem to get surround doing certain things. My speaker configuration is FL, FR, Center, SL, SR and a Powered Sub. Optical Cable from Motherboard to my Denon. HDMI cable from GPU to my Denon AVR- X4100WĢnd. Since I did not go with a sound card my audio is connected by two methods.ġst. How do you tell? When you go the the download section for the motherboard the link is for this, Realtek high definition audio driver ver:8496_UAD_WHQL. I am not sure if this is pre-installed or that I had to install it myself, I think I had to install the audio but I do not think it is ALC1220. Now according to ASRock website the audio for the MB is supposed to be 7.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC1220 Audio Codec). Just built a new system and did not install a sound card like I have in the past. I do not know what format I need (Dolby, DTS, etc.) Would like to hear who's creeping up on me in the background. One of the main things I am looking for is surround sound for gaming. I also do some gaming mostly single player. Looking for quality sound for music via iTunes/ JRiver Media Center, Spotify. So probably a long post to what I would like to do, what components and software/drivers I have and what I have read before reading this thread. I have tried to read through this post to try and figure out how my PC audio should or can be configured and how to actually install/set-up my PC audio and I am more confused than when I started.
