Using CRU to force enable 7.1 audio to my connected Samsung TV, which is not reporting its capabilities correctly.

After running CRU and then the restart64.exe everything works perfectly, but after restarting Windows the 7.1 tweak is gone.

Tried running reset-all.exe, restarted, ran CRU/restart.exe, 7.1 working again, but gone after next Windows reboot.

Tried deleting all supported audio formats except 7.1, that worked after the restart.exe but after Windows reboot all formats were back and 7.1 was gone again.

Windows 10 (Latest Patch) - Asus 6900XT GPU for HDMI connection - Samsung QN85B for Monitor/TV.

If anybody has any advice, or can tell me something I'm missing. Do I need to put one of the restart.exe programs as startup so the 7.1 will stay enabled after Windows restart? Or is there another way?

Thanks.

You shouldn't need to run restart.exe after every boot. That sounds like a driver bug that should be reported to AMD. Try disabling fast startup: https://www.howtogeek.com/856514/how-to-...indows-10/

Thanks for the reply, Toasty.

I forgot to mention I had read your suggestion of turning off Fast Startup to another poster, so I had tried that, but doesn't solve this issue.

I have found that if on a clean boot into Windows I just simply change the refresh rate to anything, it seems to load in the EDID override perfectly.

So for now, and if this helps anybody else, I'm using QRes.exe and a powershell script to change the refresh rate to 60 and then back to 120 automatically at startup and this seems to activate the CRU settings and 7.1 audio for me with less fuss than having to do restart.exe.
