Cannot get 5.1 sound output with windows10 64Bit - worked with windows 7 64bit VIA® VT1705 sound chip (embedded on my Desktop

Cannot get Win 10 64Bit driver for my VIA® VT1705 sound chip (embedded on my Desktop ASRock G41M-VS3 R2.0 motherboard) to make it output 5.1 surround sound.
Will installing a separate sound card with Win 10 64Bit drivers work?

Yes it will. You will probably get better sounding better performance from your Sound card then off the motherboard

U must load the W10 specific audio driver from Asrock. If not available, then go with sound card.
