Just bought a Tritton Pro Plus true 5.1 surround sound headset and I can't get it to function properly on PC.

Here's the manual for it:

The way it's set up:
1. Headset to decoder box
2. Decoder box to PC via optical cable
Windows 10 recognizes the connection as S/PDIF in the sound control panel. I set that device the default and I get stereo sound from it. The issue is, that I want to get 5.1 surround sound.
Things that I have tried:
1. Re-installed the Realtek drivers
2. In the sound control panel gone to > Digital Audio > Properties > Advanced = restricted to 2 channel studio output.
3. In the sound control panel gone to > Digital Audio > Properties > Supported Formats > Check Dolby Digital and test = successful audio reproduction from all surround channels in the headset. (Note this is the only time the 5.1 Dolby Digital indicator has lit up while using it on PC)
4. Tried the headset on my 360 and the 5.1 Dolby Digital indicator lights up immediately. Oh why couldn't it be so simple on the PC.
5. There is no option for 5.1 surround sound or Dolby Digital Live in the Realtek Audio Manager
6. Tested games such as Battlefield 4 and Fallout 4 just in case the 5.1 activates in-game, but that didn't work either.
I'm out of ideas..... I have a feeling the issue has something to do with Dolby Digital software on my PC but I can't say for sure.
Can anyone help troubleshoot?
