    I can not get my M14x to output 5.1 over HDMI. I set the game to 5.1, I set the Realtek menu to 5.1, and even set the standard control panel audio option to 5.1. The weird thing is in the Realtek menu, The sound test only comes from my internal speakers.

    Solve my own problem. I had to go into the System Tray and choose the audio device I was connected to via HDMI, then configure for 5.1
