DTS DECODER TO 5.1 WINDOWS 10

DTS DECODER TO 5.1 WINDOWS 10

Windows 10 (I think 1904 build, I'll have to double check)Д«ecause its girlfriend approved:В doesn't take up as much space as an A/V receiver, was cheaper than an A/V receiver and speakers, and it was a gift from said girlfriend.

I need to find a PCIe sound card that will do the decoding so I can have surround within Windows and most games. Found out that it doesn't decode DTS so it did stereo only when using SPDIF. What I tried doing was PC -> TV via HDMI for video, PC -> Soundbar via optical using the ASUS Xonar SE soundcard SPDIF/Optical. PC -> TV via HDMI -> Soundbar -> only can do stereo sound Samsung MU8000 65 inch 4k 60Hz, HDMI 2.0 with regular ARC Vizio S3651N-H6 5.1 surround soundbar (we'll get to that in a bit) Apparently it's still being sold as new and the packaging shows that it can decode DTS/Dolby so I shouldВ get games and windows in 5.1 surround with my equipment. The only PCIe card I could find that wasn't $100+ was the Creative Sound Blaster Z, the red one from like 10 years ago.

I'm needing a soundcard that will do the decoding since Dolby Live and DTS Interactive are no longer easy to find, support, and are outdated and replaced by the Atmos software and DTS: X software. So I found out the hard way that not all sound cards do 'decoding' for DTS/Dolby surround on PC which means that only content such as videos/movies that are encoded with DTS/Dolby will work just fine, but video games and Windows 10 itself will only report stereo. I had no idea how much of a headache surround sound is without getting an A/V receiver, let alone, getting surround sound on PC.
