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.

WARNING: There is also an update for Nahimic on the Microsoft Store to version 1.5.4.0, but it is very likely that once installed, your enhancement will stop working.

Those who want only Realtek material, just choose the panel option (HDA or UAD), select your decoder and deselect the rest.

I just downloaded the newest dch version to test it out. Any way in near future we could try an updated DJ Urko HDA Compiler Alan Finotty version? Its got a really nice sound to it playing cinema 5, dts audio, dolby atmos and dolby home theater all at once. I'm using Streaming settings on cinema 5 especially for eq. Entertainment and in-front, and ear buds on dts audio. Dialogue Enhancer turned on on Game for Dolby Atmos. Dolby Home Theater is set to graphic: halfway below 0db, leveler set on low, dialogue enhancer set all the way and virtualizer is set to headphones... all the way. Been usin spotify to test it out with Dts being on and the other settings.

@Alan Finotty

I extracted your installer and noticed you are still using Dolby PCEE3, and not Dolby PCEE4. I attached the PCEE4 files for you, hopefully this works better in some way, also thanks for your updates.

Hi. I need some help, please. I recently bought an ASAU Tuf Gaming B550-Plus motherboard and as you already know, the S/PDIF output is limited to 2 channels for some reason. After some searching, I found this very helpful thread. I installed V6.0.9098.1 of this driver, but I was experimenting and I selected a whole bunch of the components. I tried to familiarise myself with the various options, the I tried to uninstall some of the components. Eventually I had to di a full uninstall of the driver, before I could re-install with only a few of the components.

However, after the driver was re-installed, the front-end of the various modules are not installed (Creative, Sonic, Realtek, etc). I tried various ways, including uninstalling the drivers/devices in Device manager, full uninstall with Revo Uninstaller, etc, but I cannot get these modules active. They are shown in the Device Manager, but there is no way that I can run these modules. I even did a system restore to a restore point before I started playing around. Even if I re-install the original sound driver that came with the motherboard, the Realtek console is unavailable.

I would appreciate advice with what is required to install these modules properly.

What do you mean you cant run the software components? Do you mean they are installed but no app to use?

I think that's exactly what @Desef means. I've had similar issues when updating. I've not found a proper fix for it yet. Sorry I can;t be more help.

I've managed to get the front ends installed but the dolby atmos one just tells me to plug headphones in.. even if they are plugged in... it used to load properly even without headphones.

I fixed that bug with Alans driver, uninstall his drivers, then right click uninstall the 'Software Component', tick delete driver, then pnputil to finish removal. Open command prompt as admin.

Type the following command: pnputil -e , this will display all installed drivers, look for the vendor and device name and copy the oemX.inf name.
Now type the following command: pnputil -d oemX.inf , this will delete the driver, however it must not be in use (uninstalled).

Do that for every 'Alan Finotty' driver. Then restart your PC, and run a registry cleaner.

@grifers

Why do you need Dolby Prologic 2, for stereo to 5.1? Just use E-APO and make your own profile, you will get 0ms latency (don't even need ASIO). See my signature below.

====

@ZiO

Install AAF driver or my DTS version, then install E-APO and an upmixer, see my signature below. You will get 5.1 for 5.1, and 5.1 stereo surround for 2 channel audio.
The driver must first be able to transcode multichannel PCM to DTS or DDL. Both AAF driver sets fully support transcoding for SPDIF.

My AAF DTS driver does have DTS Neo PC, but its expand, not surround. Else they dont have stereo upmixers.

:( This is better answered by @Alan Finotty, mod version: 6.0.8960.1 is a little older, try mod version : 6.0.9091.1.

----

@dhrto

Nice find, however that option only shows if you install third party APO's such as Nahimic, it wont show if you did drivers only.
If I install Nahimic APO and drivers later (I have files), the 'Enable audio enhancements' does show.

View attachment 185041

Interesting result, didn't work either way for me :S, My modded DTS version works with 'Enable audio enhancements' enabled.

View attachment 185042

Another member mentioned having issues with foobar2000 and crashing with 'Enable audio enhancements' enabled.
I've been playing audio for 12 hours without issues with the modded DTS version and enhancements.

I have no other APO or drivers installed from the pack, no Nahimic, Sonic Studio or Atmos.

Unfortunately Neo: PC is expand not surround QQ.

@Alan Finotty

The Modded DTS version, is not using any APO keys, the only key present is E-APO, no Endpoint FX required.

View attachment 185045

The Realek APO (.838) also supports Dolby Digital, and I also found a co-exist setting for DD-DTS.

For what its worth my audio works best if not exclusively with enhancements disabled and also unchecking "allow exclusive control" because I will run games and music at same time. I am a big FooBar2000 fan but if anyone knows one better please share.

Hi, can anyone explain which options should be installed?

For example:
Is Dolby Atmos a better replacement for BlasterX 720 or are they 2 completely different things that have completely different uses?
The same with A-Volute (which to choose?), is it a completely different thing, functionality-wise or is it a better/worse alternative to Atmos and Blaster X 720?

On top of all that, under Creative Suite, which is the better option? 360? 720? Cinema 5? TruStudio?

Thanks.

Hi, can you help me please? Does drivers work with codec Realtek S1200A? I play game with sound 5.1 set. Get dolby digital signal with Toslink on reciever, but weird, no surround channels sound. When I tried dolby 5.1 sound test, I heard surround channels from front channels (front left, right and center works fine).

Thanks for helping.

Have you already tried to turn off 'enable audio enhancements'? See this post for details.

Can we get AAF extension installer for non AAF drivers? Pretty much the Alan version of the Realtek APO Driver.
I would prefer to use a version controlled by you as the said product contains viruses.

Thanks for your time and mods.

No viruses in that Realtek APO driver according to virus total two false positives one from ESET and one from some unknown Chinese antivirus

installing the APOs requires modifications to the driver inf files
