Audio device 10.0.18362.1 has a known issue that hasn't been resolved linking Digital Audio Device with  Realtek Audio driver

 

There is no new updated logged in Microsoft sense May 

 

I think if you open device manager and disable the Digital Audio S/PDIF and use the manager Realtek Digital Audio driver instead it should work

 

I have same build # and I am having to use Spatial Sound you may have to do same thing 

 

see here

 

Mine's different.

Can you give me your Hardware ID # for Realtek

 

device manager /  realtek audio / properties / details / properties / hardware id

 

yours is different cause spatial isn't sound on enable Windows Sonic Sound  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/spatial-sound

Dude, I totally appreciate you taking the time here, btw

Are you using a Intel Motherboard

[DoubleDragon]

Well the driver you have installed is using ACL1220 which technically isn't available online possible because it's not made by Realtek or something

 

You should uninstall that one and use this most recent one from here driver version 6.0.1.8036 with sound manager 

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/realtek-hd-audio-2-79-driver-download.html

 

This is 2.82 the one in this link https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/pc-audio-codecs-high-definition-audio-codecs-software

 

But this one from Guru3D is probably going to have more codecs

 

Guru3d has been known to have quality drivers

Asus Rog Strix Maximus Hero, so yeah

[DoubleDragon]

If I guess right your running integrated audio with no sound card it may have limits on Audio Buffers

 

If the above driver doesn't work with S/PDIF and Spatial Sound is enabled and its still grayed out then it's possible the boards bios is restricting some functions either cause there is a low power voltage for the driver or the settings in BIOs needs to be looked into for the sound device

[DoubleDragon]

Like for instance this link shows driver version 6.0.1.8666

 

and the one I suggested is 6.0.1.8036 not far off maybe try the manufacturers driver

Both are compatible with the motherboard but the one from the Manufacture is around 50mbs smaller meaning it has fewer codecs but both are matches

I'll check that out. I installed the one form 3D Guru and the Hardware ID now is MMDEVAPI\AudioEndpoints but still no Audio Manager or 5.1 sound choice

[DoubleDragon]

Got to remember by default the manager is not enabled you will have to go to the installation folder of the driver open it and configure it

[DoubleDragon]

Here these people are still talking about it sense May still working it out with the build maybe you can find something useful out of all of it https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/the-ultimate-realtek-hd-audio-driver-mod-for-windows-10.232921/

That would be great if I could find it. I looked in the Realtek folders in Program Files and Program Files (X86)

[DoubleDragon]

If the Sound Manager is installed correctly it will be installed and executed through the Control Panel either listed as Realtek or in the Sound

 

Take note of this directory you need to back it up for future issues this is where all the drivers are stored

C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository

 

Have read you can reinstall a system and restore all drivers this way by just updating the device manager

 Yeah, that’s where it should be, but it’s not. I wonder if I can just install it off of the installation disk for the motherboard
