No 5.1 DTS sound in windows 10

dts 5.1 has been working perfect on windows 7 64 bit until i upgraded to windows 10 64 bit. I have a Asus  X99-A motherboad with the latest drivers and all the latest windows updates, sounds works but as soon as i put dts 5.1 through s\pdif I get no sound not even a test tone if i pres test i get a error failed to play test tone, i have tried everything deleted drivers and reinstalled many times, run beta drivers, tried older windows 8 drivers just for the sake and nothing, its such a same cause really like windows 10 but im a massive gamer and this one problem is making me thinking going back to windows 7.

thank you very much for such a quick reply, I haven't made and changes to the sound setting except from 2ch to 5.1 dts. I just tried what you had said and still no luck, with the Microsoft driver i always have 2ch working but the 5.1 option in advance setting under default settings has vanished, if i install the lasted drivers from asus website  it come back and 2ch sound  works  fine but 5.1 DTS I still  get nothing.

Ive done alot of googling and it seams alot of people are having the same problem  where there had windows 7 or 8.1 and upgrade to windows 10 there get the same problem as me no sound in 5.1 dts through s/pdif but 2ch works fine one guy did a clean install off windows 10 and still no sound he went back to windows 8.1 and 5.1 DTS work perfectly the more i read people are saying this is a Microsoft bug  and not the sound driver

DTS is currently broken in Windows 10. The workaround is to use the windows 8 player  with FLV codecs for acceleration or VLC.

The Movies and TV app is incredible and plays video with 0 stuttering, but the audio doesn't work 80% of the time on HD files, since they usually use DTS.

WMP is the best option if you need hw acceleration, since VLC support is still poor.

Anyway, I too hope that Microsoft acknowledges this issue and fixes it soon. It's just like the DVD days when Microsoft killed it's media player by not including free decoding drivers and forcing us to use options like VLC in the first place.

Thank you for that and I  agree with the dvd thing 100%, but I really don't understand how in 2015 we can b having such a big problem with a such a lil thing, and especially  after Microsoft did so much beta testing this should have been fixed or at the latest may b a few weeks into windows 10 release but hear we are mouths later with no solution's and things like this that really frustrate me, I cant even enjoy playing a game in 5.1 sound :( Please Microsoft fix this ASAP
