How to get 5.1 sound on Chrome's Youtube (Windows 10)

I have 5.1 surround speakers from Logitech, and I already turned on speaker fill in the "Realtek HD Audio Manager. Furthermore, I have already tried changing the Chrome properties using "--force-wave-audio", " --try-supported-channel-layouts", and " --disable-audio-resampler" but none of them work. 

 

The only way I found that works was going into the audio manager and changing the sound effects to "room" but that makes the audio sound weird. 

 

So is there any other way I can try other than switching to Firefox?"

Fairly sure youtube doesn't support 5.1, only 2.1. (might be wrong..)

Kinda off the main topic but get rid of your cheap 5.1 and just get a good 2.1 set up and youll be MUCH happier... you only have 2 ears. Everything over 2 speakers is useless. Your brain does all the surround calculations automatically
