Are you using the Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5?

i have tried sound blaster connect 2 with 720, dolby atmos system for gaming with nahimic and dts ultra and sound bound. i have also tried only dolby atmos for gaming and sounnd blaster connect 2 without anything else. i have tried realtek drivers and i have also tried hd audio drivers. realtek drivers only audio jack works without speakers. hd audio drivers work fine but crackling sound once i shut down and turn on my laptop. i have also tried dts studio bound with nahimic, and soundblaster 720 connect 2 and dolby atmos for gaming. studio bound does not even launch but the rest work. still i have crackling sound on the left side only. i have even tried dolby speaker system and dolby atmos no help. i am about to give up. the audio is so annoying

after clean uninstall i have also tried to let windows update give me the realtek drivers it shows in the windows update and then i used the realtek setup of the mod but it freezes when installing the uwps. i have tried it more than once. and if it installs only earphones work not the speakers. thats why i disabled update installations and i clean uninstall and use microsoft generic drivers which allows me to install the hdaudio mod but still bad audio for me.

From experience with my Z5500's i used to own, optical stereo gave really really low bass.
Analogue stereo gave great bass, optical 5.1 gave great bass, optical stereo just... forgot the bass.

If you're using the Z906 it could be the same situation where you may have cranked it up for stereo optical, and now need to lower it at the speakers end.

Make sure you disable any dolby effects - use the "no effect" setting, they're designed to fix that stereo issue by redirecting the bass to the subwoofer - but when active on actual surround sound signals you get weird issues and duplicated bass. It's only meant to activate when it detects a stereo signal, but third party encoding like you're running can confuse them.

Oh and make sure you've got things wired up right - the amount of times i've seen people swap center and subwoofer wires over is too many to count, and resulted in a lot of weird audio and muffled voices

Thank you the issue is with DTS:X Ultra somehow defaulting to a profile where bass boost is on. Choosing a different profile works there. It takes some juggling as when DTS activates it switches to two channel mode which you have to go fix and then ensure that DTS:X Ultra doesn't pump in extra bass
 
NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
MORE DETAILS IN 1st PAGE

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.

ATTENTION: Before installing this modified driver, be sure to remove any and all residues from previous Realtek audio drivers or even if there are residues from previous versions of my mods, if they persist. For this you will need the DriverStoreExplorer (by @lostindark). Remove any drivers whose vendor is "A-Volute", "Dolby", "DTS", "Creative", "AAF Optimus", etc in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers, Extensions, Software Components and Audio Processing Objects categories.

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

ENJOY!!! :toast:

Doesnt work with nvidia hdmi outpu.
Just no sound at all stereo or multichannel. Rtx3080 here.
 
Does anyone know what file the *X-Fi MB5* background is stored in?. I would like to create my own (skins/themes) because the current background (dragon) just looks cheap. I would like Dark and Glass.

Unfortunately, these are not images, but resource libraries (DLLs), located in the program's language folders. In this case, you would have to decompile the DLL and edit it.
 
Is it possible to get a new build with APO3 Sonic Studio? The old versions don't work with win11 for me and I prefer to be able to set different settings app specific (for example sound compressor only for a game) instead of setting it globally with APO4.
 
Hello. Thank you for your work in providing additional features.

I am trying your custom driver but, once installed, after removed residues as your istructions, i didn't get any sound from my headphones. I connected them to the rear panel. I have an MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS motherboard with a Realtek ALC1220 audio chip.

What could i do?

I don't want to spoil anyone's party, but there is no need for that kind of hard working. Just use steelseries Sonar and you will get the best result.
here is the topic:

www.techpowerup.com

Ultimate sound enhancement software: Steelseries Sonar could be the best

I have used many many programs/drivers and softwares including unlocked dolby/dts drivers, srs premium software etc. Until recently I has been using Nahimic which was bundled with my MSI mainboard. But after finding Sonar, I think I've find the ultimate solution. Guys this software definitely...

I have a problem with a clevo-np50pnj and Windows 11. The internal notebook mic captures no sound at all. I already tried to install/remove/install several versions of the Realtek drivers and my last attempt was to install AAF Optimius pack but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

The boost of the mic is already set to the maximum, it doesn't help either.

When I remove all Realtek drivers and go back to MS original driver, the mic seems to capture audio in a very low volume and with lots of static noise. For example, if I clap my hands near to the mic, it will capture the clap sound, but voice cannot be heard.

I don't know more what to do. Any help is appreciated. Afaics, this Clevo uses ACL256.
 
ALC 225 everything else works except this used the kga tool and everything no luck dunno if it's limitations of my ALC, but it was working some time ago.

I think I've screwed up my driver's a bit and wondering what's the best way to talk to you about my issie? Is there a discord or something?

I long term had the driver working but realised today that I couldn't run audio out of my rear speakers for some reason. Reinstalled drivers no change. I then uninstalled the drivers and then started getting random noises from the windows drivers and I'm unable to install your drivers even after reboot.

Currently managed to reinstall my realtek drivers but these won't allow me to do surround sound over optical

Any advice?
 
How can I activate Dolby Digital in nvidia settings with this driver?

Captura de tela 2022-09-08 125057.png


EDIT: I managed to install it properly, just forgot to uninstall nvidia audio driver, Dolby Digital is working for now, I still need to test if it have lower latency than Dolby Atmos, who is practically unusable for gaming and movies.

Go to Device Manager, select the NVIDIA device. Click on the Driver tab and then on the Update Driver button. In the window that appears, click "Browse my computer for drivers" and then "Let me choose from a list of available drivers on my computer" and install the AAF driver if it is present in the list. If the procedure does not work, you will have to remove and reinstall the AAF driver, but first, remove the NVIDIA audio driver.
