Audio Why does AudioSettings.driverCapabilities always return "Stereo"?

    My computer has six jacks on the back channel, and the "Speakers Properties" also shows six channels in "Levels" tab. However, when I call AudioSettings.driverCapabilities, it always returns me "Stereo". As the result, even if I set "AudioSettings.speakerMode" as “AudioSpeakerMode.Mode5point1”, I only get two channels in callback function OnAudioFilterRead().

    How can I get six channels in OnAudioFilterRead()?

    Would like to find a way to get six-channel signals as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!

    Yes.

    I have also tried "App volume and device preferences" to explicitly set Unity to use that output. But it does not help. :(
