Hi guys, I told you that a week ago I bought a new motherboard (asrock z370 sli / ac), I came with onboard alc892 and it does not work 5.1 sound when I have it configured in the sound options of windows 10, and also hears horrible sound usually. I also want to clarify that I have a home theater connected by 3 3.5mm jack cables
I was watching the themes and responses of alanfox2000 but I do not understand and I can not make these modded drivers work.

I wanted to see if you could help me more detailed or with a video tutorial, I would appreciate it, thank you very much.

The Realtek non mod official should work on 5.1 sound. You still using the official driver if you had installed my APO Driver.
May be you can try ASUS Sonic Focus/SonicMaster or others to improve sound quality.

i didn't understand this step- 4. Install Realtek APO Driver through device manager, then using device manager update from Realtek APO Driver to the lastest offical realtek HD Audio
which inf file i should choose when installing Realtel APO driver folder and there are many inf files in the Realtek official HD Audio. which file to choose?
You just select pick any of them, and the correct one will install.

When I try to stop or start the Dolby API servic service with the system, this error appears.

After restarting the computer, the service does not start. Help;
I updated Realtek APO Driver 6.0.1.8419 Revision, redownload and install again , I have fix dolby dll problem.

It look like this, the orange text is different for you
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_1458A002&REV_1003\4&26fe9049&0&0201]

I can't understand where's the problem. After I load the config, import all required .reg files, click "Apply", "Restart audio service" and then "Refresh" all fields are resetting back to their previous values. Dolby Atmos/DTS/Audio by Harman are not working - the sound isn't changing at all. What I'm doing wrong?

Run FX Configurator as admin and take ownership of Properties & FXProperties registry key manually

Hi DJUrko, I installed the sound drivers correctly as per the process but the center speaker is giving extremely low/suppressing sound and due to this i am not able to hear the movie dialogues properly. swap center/subwoofer in realtek audio manager doesnt help. I am not facing this issue in realtek stock drivers. Please help
Hey DJ Urko...your help on this issue would be appreciated.

tried everything as suggested by you. didnt found any upperfilters reg key after the installation of realtek/M$ audio drivers. what seems to be causing the problem is probably lying inside the APO driver. once APO is installed it shows as "UNKNOWN" hardware becoz of which it cannot actually update with a relevant audio driver like realtek/m$. the apo driver after installation shows that the device cannot start becoz of probelms in registry. so is it supposed to show as 'unknown' hardware in device manager?

FX Configurator auto take registry ownership when you click apply. Try RegOwnershipEx if don't work

Not using "Add Hardware Wizard", double click the existing High Definition Audio Device & Update the driver

So your saying if i do this ownership thing. The fx configurator mod should work with the official realtek driver. Also when trying to install apo to official driver from device manager, should i right click and update with the mod?
Just update from apo driver to the official Realtek WHQL driver, then use fx configurator

Use the latest version of FX Configurator

First test if the dolby apo is working
Load W10_Dolby_UWP_Render.ini Apply
On Realtek Panel Config to stereo first
Test

If test is ok,
Realtek Panel Config set 5.1 or 7.1
Edit C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc\Default.xml
ch_count="2" to ch_count="5" for 5.1 ch_count="7" for 7.1
restart DolbyDAXAPI Services
Test
