Trying to get my Creative Sound Blaster AE-7 to use Dolby Digital/ DTS on my surround

Hi,

I'm trying to get my new Creative Sound Blaster AE-7 to utilize Dolby Digital/ DTS on my Logitech Z906 5.1 surround.
A little background my old Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 correctly worked with my surround and utilized the decoding option of Dolby Live (the LED on the controller was lid)

Now with my new SB AE-7 it doesn't decode the audio. I've followed the steps from here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Audio_quickstart_guide and my settings look like this:
  1. https://ibb.co/ScYCyXd
  2. https://ibb.co/8bbdTfb
Then when I play Dolby 5.1 (or DTS) videos the audio is only played in stereo, so its not decoding the audio.
Am I missing something?

My specs:
  • Windows 10 Enterprise
  • Kodi 19.3 (latest)
  • Creative SB AE-7 driver + command center installed
  • AMD RX-580 8GB
