I have been using a Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Z390 Motherboard with onboard Realtek drivers connected to Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers. On till recently everything was fine but as soon as I updated to Windows 11 everything went south. Realtek no longer offer support for 5.1 surround sound making the on board Aorus ultra and others only capable of 2.1 speaker connection.
To remedy this I purchased an Asus Xonar SE sound card which states it is fully 5.1 capable, what the manufacturer fails to state is that the 5.1 surround is only available via analogue and not digital S/PDIF.
Is there any was to remedy my desire for digital 5.1 surround sound? Is there a PCIE sound card that is around the £100 to £150 price that can actually provide 5.1 via S/PDIF only?
If this has been covered before please accept my apologies.
