No support for 5.1 or 7.1 setup?
Only supports surround which is very different from 5.1 or 7.1 or even ATMOS setups.
Is this right?

Works fine for me. HDMI out of graphics card into 7.1/5.1 receiver and it's working correctly on all channels.

I also got surround sound, please read or understand 5.1 or 7.1.

The X.1 means that speech is coming out of the center speaker , in surround sound there is no center speaker and speech comes from the front speakers.

That is the difference between surround and 5.1 or 7.1
And this game has no support for those two i think, weird because its pretty basic nowadays

You seem to have a misunderstanding. It is working correctly, on my system at least. If I position an talking npc behind the camera, the dialog comes out of the rear channels as one would expect.

yeah with me also, but when someone is saying that is standing in front of you, does the sound come out of the center speaker or your front ( left and right ) speakers?

Center. Or if they're standing off to the side a little front right or front left. Like I said, it's working correctly for me at any rate.

Are you not getting ANY sound out of your center speaker, or just no vocals? Run a sound check in windows and make sure your channels are working correctly.

no vocals, some background noise i DO get. And the problem is not my setup or windows settings or nothing. In Diablo 3 ( true 5.1 support ) it works perfectly and i DO get speeches and sound in front of me from the central speaker. So it is only not entirely correctly working on this game.
And surround is simply different as 5.1 , you agree on that dont you? ( 5.1 is also a variant of surround but not all surround is 5.1 )

When i alter my settings in windows to mix ( simulate 5.1 for surround games ) then it works.
So i think i have proven this game has no TRUE 5.1 support.
