1) For both computers, I use Windows 10.0.17134 Build 17134 – “1803” April 2018 Creative Update. 2) This is a 64-Bit version of Windows. 3) We have one machine with Sound Blaster ZxR. 4) We have one machine with Sound Blaster Z. 5) Both have the same problems - NO 5-CHANNEL SOUND, and NO ACCESS TO THESE PARAMETERS. Clad in brilliant red shielding and featuring glowing LED lighting that will be the highlight of any power gaming rig, Sound Blaster Zx is the bad boy of the Sound Blaster Z-Series ultra-high-performance sound cards. With an impressive 116dB SNR and bursting with high-grade hardware and software. The Sound Blaster Audigy sound card is also compatible with Windows 10. However, since the product was in production even before Windows 10 arrived, the enclosed CD-ROM only works with Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs. To use it on a Windows 10 PC, you will have to download and install the Windows 10 Install Pack from the manufacturer’s site. The sound control panel on Windows 10 and Sound Blaster do not recognize the microphones. The sound indicator shows in green, but you would not hear the sound. The microphones are working, but headsets do not work. You can follow a few simple fixes that can help you solve the problem with Sound Blaster. Let us go through the repairs one by one.

So I just bought this sound card Creative Sound Blaster Z. Bold italic font free.
Connected it via optical cable to Logitech Z906. Installed latest drivers from their web page, enabled encoding to dts and it works, my receiver shows up dts signal and it is all great, but the problem is, that volume control is not working. When I open my sound settings under 'mixer' and change the volume of 'Speakers' or 'SPDIF-Out' nothing happens, changes only occur if I change the recorder 'What U Hear' volume(works as changing output sound volume). This wouldn't be a big issue if I could just make windows default volume control to change this volume, but I can't because it is an input device, not output device.
So as I understand the situation:
-
Creative drivers make 'Speakers' available to system and it thinks that I have generic 5.1 with analog connection, but in reality it is virtual.
-
Creative driver listens to all what system outputs to that 'virtual' output using 'What U Hear', encodes it to dts and then sends it via optical cable to receiver.
And thus the problem occurs because driver does not respect the system set output volume to 'SPIDF-Out'. I believe that this is a driver issue and it can be easily fixed.
Some side notes:
-
When I mute 'SPIDF-Out' the sound get muted, but when it's set to 1% or 100% there is no difference.
-
This could be fixed by making all three components - 'Speakers', 'SPDIF-Out' and 'What U Hear' share the same volume value, then it would guarantee that volume is set correctly.
Up until now you have read what I sent to Creative support, but meanwhile:
Am I the only one who have such a problem? I can not find anything on this anywhere, is there any solution I can achieve without coding an application which mirrors the volume values for all three involved sound interfaces? ( I am a bit lazy :D)
Maybe its just my both left hands and I am doing something wrong?

Found the solution, there is a simple program called Volume2, allows to set 'What U Hear' as main audio device, thus sound level adjustment now work as intended.
