Tech Question: CODEC Packs--KLite et al

The last CODEC thread was posted 15 years ago.
So, anyway, I have PotPlayer and it plays the DTS 6 Channel audio on video downloads within multi-channel audio without effort. It even plays the English version first--although it's listed first on the channels so that might be why. When I try and play the same video on the Windows10 Movie Tv Crap-O-Rama app, it acknowledges the other channels but only plays audio in the language the video was originally set up for, which is listed as Czech. I try and switch, and that CrapApp won't have any of it. My ACG app only shows two channels but plays just the Czech one, without being able to switch or even listing them by name. The fact that the video even plays DTS 6 at all tells me that it's not a problem with what my computer is set up to do...unless PotPlayer is like the audio Second Coming or something. I tried using the K Lite CODEC Pack firmware but it didn't do shit. Everything was the same, which tells me that wasn't the solution. My question is: do I have any other options to make DTS 6 Channel play on my video players besides PotPlayer, or am I just stuck using PotPlayer without having a viable back-up? Also...will the free VLC download do what PotPlayer can in this scenario??
 
I already did. I axed VLC when I had it before because it kept glitching, but I downloaded it as an app off that shitty MS Store site so that's probably why. VLC isn't as good as PotPlayer IMO because it doesn't strive to fill the screen with the pic as well, but they both play the aforementioned audio systems. Both upgrade. I have a BluRay player on this computer but I never buy BluRays or burn on them either so Leawo isn't really an alternative for me, although I've read it's a good product.
