15 R3, Sound Center bugs

Question

I've noticed that recently if alienwares sound center app is opened, several different games will have no audio enabled. As soon as I close the sound center app and restart the game it's fine, but that is slightly irritating since I do like using the sound centers audio frequency change feature. I highly doubt it's just the games, because any game from the ancient version of halo combat evolved to the newest games from origin and steam are having problems with this. Edit: Update, was able to fix this myself. Went into the sound settings in the default windows app, noticed that sound enhancements had been disabled. Apparently if this mode is disabled in the windows settings, alienware sound center can cause some weird issues with sounds not being played in certain games.

When I go to sound settings, I don't see any options for Windows Sound Enhancements or whatever. Coukd you please post screenshot?

What? I'm asking about Sound Enhancements,not Spatial Sound. I'm not using headphones. I did find the Enhancements tab, but there is no on button,  just different environments so I still don't know what OP is talking about. Thanks though
