Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

Thanks so much, ToastyX! Another question if you don't mind...

I have been trying to re-establish LPCM 5.1/7.1 audio on Windows 11 with my TV. I used CRU to do the following:
(1) CTA-861 > Audio formats > LPCM > Max channels 8 (7.1).
(2) CTA-861 > Speaker setup > 7.1.

5.1/7.1 will show up under Windows 11 surround sound options, but it just reverts back to Stereo, so obviously this isn't sufficient.

Anyways, I was looking around for other solutions, and came across these instructions from Intel advising on how to add 5.1/7.1 audio to their NUCs and they recommended using CRU but in an indirect manner: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...l-nuc.html
They first recommended saving the EDID using Monitor Asset Manager, then editing the EDID with AW EDID Editor, saving the new EDID, importing the EDID into CRU, and then exporting the EDID from CRU as .EXE and installing the EDID. Why do they recommend using Monitor Asset Manager and AW EDID Editor when CRU can edit the same things, or am I missing something?
