Realtek Modded Audio Driver for Windows 10/11 - Only for HDAUDIO

[Diarmud]

Finally, thanks, I was able to setup it, but :
1. DolbyAtmos does not work.
2. Do not see THX TruStudio Pro (maybe because I have G6 and installed SoundBlaster command software.

Settings by default

Download display driver uninstaller, uninstall these drivers first via control panel, download z4 portable uninstaller, boot into safe mode, clear audio drivers with DDU, then with z4 check for leftovers - realtek audio, thx, etc.. After that reinstall drivers, select realtek audio console or hd audio manager but this time pick BOTH DECODERS option, see if that helps you man and good luck.

@d31ma

No problem, happy to help, not sure about DolbyAtmos, I guess it needs speakers or headphones plugged in. THX TruStudio Pro is an app, it should be in your start menu.

The drivers work as intended, however there is no stereo to 5.1 or 7.1 upmixing, see my signature below to add it.

ok. i just tried to reinstall/install again with options you mentioned (choosed UAD panel) and... got nothing. Because there're UWP even in theese options.

You have to clean all the old Realtek & Audio Enhancer stuff, like I wrote a few times on the last 5-15 pages.

I prefer Realtek HDA panel. It's simple, does everything on little space & it's not an UWP app.

What means "... got nothing"? What did you got?
If you can't explain detailed, please show a screenshot & discribe with some words, what happens.
I'll look to help you, if I can.

Ok, please help me out. Looking for the BEST SOUNDING driver for the ALC887 chipset (Gigabyte mobo)

Looking for a link (read a lot of the thread and could not find a working link). Not as interested in Dolby or DTS, so long as this is the best sounding 2-channel driver. Hopefully also supports 176.4khz output as well. Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Thanks

I recently removed my professional 'Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty' due to discontinued support. I had to go to my onboard audio, ALC 889, (for the first time), for me the AFF driver delivers as much quality and performance (actually better due to enhancements), I also get on-the-fly transcoding, without having to copy from analogue (which Creative does), this reduces CPU load significantly.

The Realtek ALC 889 chip was released in 2008. With the AAF drivers I can natively play DTS, DTS-HD, DDL, DDP but not DD TrueHD (I can however with Potplayer).




Alans modded AAF driver also delivers full HD recording, 24 bit fully supported.

Soryy i don't get you.

I just said that i tried AAL and if I use headphones (not 5.1 or 7.1) they have problemartic sound (not very clean). With my usual drivers (z490 tomahawk motherboard) i haven't such problem. But with usual drivers can't get DDL for my optical part.

Your attachment would fix that, right?


But there are no old solution? I remembered how I installed drivers and changed something in win32 with realtek and DDLive appeared. It was in 2017.

But now I have new motherboard and don't know what drivers I should really use. I used to like DDLive for games with my 5.1 optical yamaha setup. So i wanna get that back)

And trying to find solution.

 

[Ferather]

No I thought you meant you couldn't get 5.1 with stereo using DDL, sorry ignore me.

 

[Koltos]

You don't know is there are another solution to get DDL ? Not AAL staff.

I just wanna DDL and nothing more =)

If you change the APO file, you can get it to work with other drivers, but that's not on topic for this thread. I have the files to do it, but you have to install them manually.
When you installed AAF drivers did you pick 'Only Dolby Digital' or 'Both Decoders', because they install different APO's.

installing this driver causes it to loose the ablity to play separate audio streams though both the front and rear outputs

Did you try to separate the front and rear flows through the Realtek control panel?

option is missing I can't retask the jack either I fiddled with the realtek tweak trying to force the stream splitting but its not well documented so I have no idea what the options do
it works under the microsoft UAA Driver and the offical realtek release

 

[Ferather]

Edit: Hmm missing, can you take a screen shot of audio devices in 'Device Manager'?

Open "Realtek Audio Device Tweak" on your Desktop, go to the "DriverPolicy" tab, look for the "UICusTab" box and check it. After that, still in "UICusTab", search for "NoShowPBMultiStreaming". Finding her, she needs to be UNMARKED. When this is done, click "Save" to save the changes and restart your computer.

Unfortunately not. As you may have noticed, this is a proprietary tool from Realtek.

Hello,
@Alan Finotty I installed the version proposed by you, and now I have uninstalled this drive, only now I encounter this problem I can no longer download realtek audio control.
What do I have to do to make it work as before?
I want to use the normal UAD variant again..
Thx

First, check in your Device Manager, in the "Software Components" section, that "AAF Realtek Audio Console Universal Component" is installed.

If installed, open the Run menu by typing Windows + R on your keyboard and type "services.msc". In the window that opens, find the "Realtek Audio Universal Service" service and see if it is running. If not, start it by clicking the right mouse button and Start service.

If I still can't install it, here's the direct link to the Realtek Audio Console appx.
Realtek Audio Console version 1.22.240.0

I uninstalled your driver with revo uninstaller and then I restarted and tried to install the original version with UAD
That's all I found and I still can't access the microsoft store

That's what Alan said yes.
