The pics attached should show all screens. Once updated I did the restart.exe and restarted the PC for good measure. However, the windows configuration still limits me to only stereo.
I tried using either of the HDMI ports from the RX 480. Something that was unique was that my extension blocks on the first screen had "0 detailed resolutions". I didn't see that come up in other people's screenshots.

Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?

I don't see anything wrong. Try adding a speaker setup data block. No detailed resolutions in the extension block is fine. What resolution are you using? 2560x1440 @ 120 Hz might not have enough blanking for 8 channels, but 3840x2160 should work.

Thanks. After more research I just decided to do a complete reinstall of the AMD drivers. Unplugged everything and tried to act like I was starting fresh. This time CRU change to 7.1 worked.
I am now able to see all of the options. The one side effect is that my system is a 5.1. If I select 5.1, there is no sound with little static during windows test. If I change to 7.1, the speakers act fine. Slight difference that the rear speakers play twice for the back/side. No big deal to me, but just something interesting.
