@Alan Finote After I uninstalled your mod driver, I couldn't find any folder with the patternyou mentioned on your previous post (starting with "hdx").

Is there any other folder I should delete? View attachment 147285
If possible, send an image citing the entire contents of your system's FileRepository folder for me to examine. If they exist, I will identify the remaining folders and send you a reply.

I have a Asus X470-F using the supremeFX S1220A and asus default software Sonic radar III. Will this software improve the quality of the audio by much?

If your preference is Headphones, then the answer is yes.

I can get the mic effects for creative working but nothing for playback ( I tried toggling the fix in the op doesn't seem todo anything)
also not seeing the extra apos installed when I check the sound control panel

also is there a way to force the driver to give me more gain or increase the amp level on the front outs
when using he mod it doesn't seem to be running the amp in headphone mode resulting in overly quiet audio and clipping

Hey, @Alan Finote , did you get the chance to check out if there is any folder I should delete from FileRepository?

I was browsing the filelist I sent and noticed that was a folder with the mentioned pattern (starting with "HDX...). I deleted it as instructed, reboot and reinstalled your mod driver. I set the parameters on RTK Device Tweak, even those Driver Policy ones, but no luck again. Still can't get the option to set Dolby Digital as output.

I don't know if it's relevant, but when I reinstalled the mod drivers and launched the Driver Tweak app for the firs time, there was a red sign blinking "Has RTKHDAUD.DAT".

Is there any actions I could take in order to enable 5.1 digital output on my computer? I'm almost giving up.

Thanks again!

ok after fiddling with it I got the effects working
I ended up having to manually scrub all audio devices from the system and reinstalling ..twice . then applying the fix in the op ....

ended up uninstalling this is causing massive stability issues on my machine apps hanging windows locking up

likely cause is too many apo's

I tried to install the modded drivers but it didn't worked for me.
The image 01 contains the message i got after the install when i opened the software. I tried to fix it with almost all instructions posted in this whole thread but i wasn't able to do it.
So i unninstalled all related programs and installed the original drivers again...but now i'm getting this messages when openning the device Manager (image 02 and 03) (This device cannot start. (Code 10) / There's no support to your request.) and i have no audio on my PC.

What can i do to revert it to the original drivers and fix my pc audio? Help me please.

Sorry. I use macrium reflect on a weekly basis and keep 1 month of backups. Acronis is another alternative. I did this because i had to reinstall windows in the past because I couldn't undo stupid crap that corrupted things, despite what microsoft or software companies claimed . Shame on them for not having proper debug logging. My last frustration was with the windows store apps. They also released a shitty update that corrupted UEFI and it took them a week+ to fix it. Software in the late 2000s is horribly inept. There are even games released with day one patches. This is because the corporations are overworking people. #BERNIE2020

Sorry for the delay, I was busy, but I found a folder that should be deleted. Follow:
Code:
+---hdxgigabyte.inf_amd64_b3e38368040ef911
|       HDXGigabyte.inf
|       HDXRT.CAT
|       RTAIODAT.DAT
|       RTKVHD64.sys

Uninstall the mod driver, but before restarting, check if there is a folder on your system called "HDX* .inf_ *" in the "%systemroot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository" directory. If so, delete it. If you fail to delete, you will need to change the ownership of the "FileRespository" folder.

NEW DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
UPDATED VERSION TO 6.0.8907.1

ATTENTION: You will need to uninstall the currently installed version before continuing with this installation. A condition has been imposed for this due to problems reported by some users.

It worked...thanks!

Do you have a fix or any kind of instruction for the problem I got when installed the mod?
I really want to try the mod with all this features.

Hi Alan. Thanks for the update as always! Unfortunately, I'm experiencing a very similar problem as the one 2 versions ago - the Realtek Audio Manager does not start with Windows again. Going into Regedit and manually creating the command does nothing this time.

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to "%programfiles%\Realtek\Audio\HDA". Check if "RAVCpl64.exe" and "RtkNGUI64.exe" exist in the directory and start one of the two.

Yes clicking on RtkNGUI64.exe opens the audio manager but is there a Regedit entry I can key in to get it to autorun (minimized to tray) like it used to?

Run this command:
cmd /c reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /f /v RtkNGUI64 /t REG_SZ /d "\"%programfiles%\Realtek\Audio\HDA\RtkNGUI64.exe\" -s /s -r /r

What are the best options for this speakers? The volume of the subwoofer and should I keep it at maximum? Can I keep the effects of Windows Media Player? https://www.amazon.it/Trust-Altoparlanti-Subwoofer-Risparmio-Standard/dp/B00B9DZP9I/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_it_IT=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1Q7PENY1VF7N3&keywords=trust+casse&qid=1583685763&sprefix=trust,aps,256&sr=8-1
How do you connect the speakers? 3.5mm stereo wire?
If so, and you are using modded drivers, disable WMP audio effects. These are quite old (like about 15 years old).

I have ROG MAXIMUS IX FORMULA and using Logitech Z906 5.1 1000w do you recomend this mod instead ok realtek uwp + sonic studio 3 ?
Z906, how did you connect that? Optical?
If optical, this mod will help you use DDL/DTSi to connect to the speakers; stock optical does only stereo.
