is there any reason the wasapi render from MPC-BE doesn't see the 7.1 simulated channels from windows sonic or simply can't use it?

steps to reproduce:
you need windows 10.
go to sounds-> playback device -> your playback device (preferable analogue) -> spatial sound -> select "windows sonic for headphones" _< tick "turn on 7.1 virtual surround sound"

play a 7.1 file with directsound it will render 7.1 as far as i can see.
play a 7.1 file with mpc-be internal audio renderer it shows down mixing to stereo.
