I do have Nvidia HD sound drivers installed, but I don't think that is a conflict as that should only affect sound outputting from the GPU, not the mobo. I have the "Sound, Video and Game controllers" section (so legacy hardware method won't work). There is no "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio" driver under System Devices. The "scan for hardware changes" method within Device Manager does nothing. The only Realtek driver I can install is the newest one from Asus for the mobo, but it doesn't give options for 5.1 surround sound, hence why I am trying to install an older version. Realtek is not installed, yet Windows refuses to let me finish through with installing the older patched drivers (it gives me the failed install error via the install wizard). I've tried pretty much every solution I could find and nothing is working. Problem: I am encountering issues installing older/patched versions of Realtek audio drivers, like v2.82. Sound is coming out as stereo, but I am trying to get 5.1 sound option on my PC. PC motherboard (ASUS Z590) has optical out, which I have connected to my 5.1 sound system. Download drivers and support packages for VIA products on these pages. After going down the rabbit hole again today, I remember that I gave up months ago as I was risking having a stroke trying to figure this out. This problem has been haunting me for awhile.
