Hello all, new user here.
So i recently build a new pc and i am having trouble getting surround sound from my system. Using my old system when connecting with Toslink from my motherboard to subwoofer i was getting 5.1 but on my new PC when i connect from motherboard's toslink to woofer the option of configuring speakers are greyed out. I have tried installing/reinstalling drivers multiple times without any success so i assume my motherboard can only send stereo via toslink. Another thing is that i also can't use DTS:X because it doesn't appear in spatial audio even though it is licensed and installed. Again it worked without any issue on my previous motherboard which was an Asrock x570 Creator.
My motherboard is: Asus Strix x870e-e:
rog.asus.com
This board only has 1 Optical S/PDIF out port and 1 Line Out Port.
My speaker system:

Looking at motherboard specs it specifically says "The LINE OUT port on the rear panel does not support spatial audio" so i take it connecting from 3.5mm to RCA will also only provide 2 channels right? Now I am at a loss here and trying to troubleshoot myself for over a week i am willing to spend some money to get an external DAC. I was looking at Toppings D10s or Toppings DC3 Pro+ for ~200$ options, will any of those help me get proper audio to all my speakers or is there some better and cheaper alternate available?
