was wondering if there is a console view of windows output for sound?
I'm afraid there are no really intuitive tools for that, the only thing that comes to mind is GraphStudioNext which is capable of connecting to the currently playing source and visualizing all the modules that currently participate in the playback session. Not sure if that's what you're looking for. Foobar does kernel streaming bypassing all Windows post-processing hence the different sound so I'd dig in this direction.

I have an Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard (ALC1150). I have installed all versions from 8945 to 8848 while trying to find a working version, 8848 is the success. It cost me several hours. Why can't I use new versions? On failured attempts, Dolby or Nahimic are installed but cannot connect to sound card and SBConnect2 can't be activated too. What could have been the reason while an older version is working and newer ones are not?

Ps: I had to manually change driver from original Realtek Audio Driver to AAF every time, on 8848 too. Is this procedure same on everyone or an issue only for me?

Your first DTS Ultra PC II mod that you posted was really awesome :)
I was thrilled by them :)

You saved my soundcard PC's life, beacuse when I had maked on the center in 5.1 it had such a cool amazing sound, I heard with them some pro-shot music videos and it was really loud by them, the drums are really kicking it :)

A very big thank you and kudos to this my friend! :)

That's what i'm imagined for more than a many months ago :)

I hope you will making your next mod, when you have more time, I hope for something, beacuse you had maked the impossible to possible, and I'm very thankful that and I apperciate your work. :)

Can I ask you to suggest for you these per PM, when you have a little bit time to other effects to making these with these older ones?
I have some ideas to making it with more extras :)
A few of Alan Finotty mods it such also amazing, I can suggest some of them to you, the rest I tell you in PM, when it is good for you. :)

Greetings and regards,

Jimmy

@Alan Finote
See your message box I will sended a PM. :)

Hello guys, I bouth a new Computer, the Motherboard is (Asus) TUF B360 Pro Gaming, it becomes with a Realtek Chip 887 and DTS Custom.

The problem is I don't use Heahphones, I use 5.1 Surround Speakers.

My question is, exists any version of DTS compatible with 5.1 Surround. Now I have Creative SB X720º installed, if it doesn't conflict, how I install? By APO Driver?
Thank you.

Hi, i bought new motherboard ASUS X570-E this motherboard is equipped with Realtek SupremeFX, my previous motherboard was Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7, that motherboard was equipped with Creative® Sound Core, 3D using Sound Blaster Studio software which is working very well and has really great surround option. Can Sound Blaster Studio programs be installed on my new motherboard?

DTS Headphone:X isn't compatible with 5.1 output, only Stereo 2.0. Switch to 2.0 output in Realtek audio control app and it will work again. @Diogo Silva

First off, big thanks to @Alan Finote! My hat's off to you good sir for your great work!

My new mobo lacks DD Live and I would very much like for it to work properly again. I have been trying to get DD/DTS to properly work for a while now with little success. On a fresh install of Windows, after uninstalling the old drivers with DDU, I installed the AAFRealtek with DD/DTS and restarted and all seems ok; Dobly Digital Live and DTS Interactive both show up in both the Sound Control Panel and the newly installed Realtek Control Panel and when selected my receiver does connect and reports the proper codec. The issue is no matter what I try, I can only get 2 channel stereo in games whereas before my old board's DDL 5.1 worked as it should.

My motherboard is the Aorus Elite X570 with ALC 1200.

I ask you to check the audio settings of the game in question.

Believe me, I tried them ALL! GTA V, Forza Horizons 4, MCC, Ori, Street Fighter V, Saints Row the 3rd remastered, Far Cry 5, Street of Rage 4, Soul Caliber etc etc. While me receiver says Dolby Digital (or DTS) and showing a 5.1 connection (as normal) only the left/right channels work. On my old mainboard all these games listed had DDL 5.1 working.

Amazon dropped off my new NVME drive and I just finished reinstalling Windows fresh. I will try re-installing the driver later tonight or tomorrow and report back if things have changed.

First a big thanks to @Alan Finote for the great work everything works fine on my Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO X470. BUT when i open SB 720 i get the screen that it can not connect to my soundcard. UNinstalled, installed new and still not fixed. Deinstalled antivirus and so on, too ofcoz. Installing as WITH DDL/DTS is the correct one or do i have to use the Default in Installation? NAHIMIC 3 and Dolby Atmos pannels work.. anyone got an idea?

You need this, cracking the apps Sound Blaster. Delete ALL FILES in folder C:\ProgramData\Creative\SoftwareLock and do it from begin.
You need ONLY this one or 2 KGA.

I have a MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC and (had) pretty the same problem. For me it looks like SB720 either crashes (no response when changing settings) or is not able to connect to the soundcard when my headphone is plugged in via my front jacks when SB starts. I did not try the back ones yet but stopping SB720, removing both the microphone and headphone speakers themself, starting SB720 and plugging in everything again seems to work at least for now.
