You can try, but I have a generic CFG, not that I have any complaints about SST, not a single post I don't think, so let me know if you do try it.

Hi,
Thank you so much for keeping updating Audio software:)
I've just installed the newest version (only Realtek drivers, ASIO and console).
I thought the ALC256 audio chip in my old laptop:
Code: 
INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0256&SUBSYS_1025126A&REV_1000
INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0256&SUBSYS_1025126A
supports max sample rates up to 192kHz at 24bit. But now I see max 48Khz in the audio properties.

Is there anything I can do about it?

Also I tried to play something 16/44.1kHz via Reltek ASIO output by foobar2000:

but unfortunately:
Code: 
Unrecoverable playback error: Could not set sample rate to 44100 Hz

I think it's because of INTEL SST, you can try uninstall all intel SST drivers and install AAF Bus driver

Before installing the fresh AAF drivers I uninstalled everything related to Audio. When installing the new driver it seemed to me that the option "Install AAF Optimus Bus Driver" was crossed out and could not be used...

That means your SST driver is still there

The SST bus driver is still installed on your system.

I recommend you, in this case, to install the AAF HD Audio Bus driver.
 
Thank you guys,
I've found a blocking driver intcsst.inf:

and uninstalled it and reinstalled the simplest AAF components (AAF Bus Driver, Realtek ASIO, Realtek Console) but nothing has changed. Still max 24/48kHz and Realtek ASIO does not work.

try searching for the term "intc"
 
I removed 3 drivers (3 marked, last lines) and then the first 2 related to my Acer laptop. I did not remove incdaud.inf since it is an hdmi audio driver and should remain.
Unfortunately, after reinstallation AAF software, no changes.
Maybe the Realtek ALC256 chip cannot process HD Audio sound, but that would be strange?

Hello..is ALC 897 supported?
I have an MSI motherboard I can't install it..
Thanks in advance for your reply !
 
is it possible to only have the dolby atmos driver folder just like the last version that is available around the net?
picture of the folder attached.

If I install this AAFF pack I get realtek driver installed, and I rather have dolby atmos driver because in one game that I play this realtek driver makes the sound of vehicles in front of you loud but if you turn around 180 they become very quiet, not realistic at all.

However, it works with an older version (9749)

What could be the reason for the driver installation not going inactive with the newer versions ? Thanks !

This is because the SST bus driver (IntcAudioBus.inf) is present and installed on your system.

I say this because the IntcAudioBus driver has WHQL signatures, while my driver package has a self-signed certificate chain signature. Therefore, Windows will give preference to WHQL drivers.

On Win10 19045.5440 I installed the following parts:
Realtek ASIO Controller
Realtek Patched
DTS:X Ultra with DTS Sound Unbound
Nahimic

All along I couldn't solve a problem, that is, Spatial Audio would be turned off after the computer restarted, and it would not stay in DTS:X Ultra.
I reinstalled the system, reinstalled AAFFamilyDCHAudioPack(last version) countless times, and tried various combinations, but sometimes it gets worse: DTS:X Ultra will not even appear in Spatial Audio! At this time, you need to manually start DTS Sound Unbound twice: the first time will make DTS:X Ultra appear in Spatial Audio, then you can switch manually, or run DTS Sound Unbound again to switch Spatial Audio to DTS:X Ultra.
I have observed the running status of the processes in the task manager after the computer restarts. DTS Sound Unbound will appear in the background process and last for about a minute, then disappear, and then DTS:X Ultra will appear in the Spatial Audio (sometimes it will not appear), but it will not automatically switch to it unless you switch manually, or manually run DTS Sound Unbound once or twice...
I have been trying to solve this problem since last year. After redoing the system and reinstalling and updating AAFFamilyDCHAudioPack to no avail, I frantically searched for solutions online, including but not limited to setting Spatial Audio to DTS:X Ultra by default in the registry, wanting to use an automatic script to wait a few minutes after the computer restarts and run DTS Sound Unbound again in the background without UI(Can't do it), or using SoundVolumeView.exe to switch. Using SoundVolumeView is the closest I have ever come, because I can switch to Windows Sonic with the following command, but I can't switch to DTS:X Ultra
SoundVolumeView /SetSpatial "DefaultRenderDevice" "{b53d940c-b846-4831-9f76-d102b9b725a0}" works, It helps me switch the spatial sound from OFF to Windows Sonic.
SoundVolumeView /SetSpatial "DefaultRenderDevice" "DTS:X Ultra" not work, According to the description on the software release page, under normal circumstances, as long as DTS:X appears in the spatial sound options and is switched manually, the software should be able to do it.
I also tried some tutorials online that said to uncheck "Application Exclusive" and "Audio Enhancement" in the advanced properties of the audio, but these can only make the spatial sound automatically switch to Windows Sonic after restarting.

Is anyone here having the same problem as me?
Dear author, do you have any good suggestions?

My setup is a 3.5 audio jack laptop and a very cheap $13 soundbar (lol) and so far these combination works for me. Sound is great. I used two apps that is not aaf but works well with it. Please note that I have a Dolby Atmos for Headphone license I bought for $1 (eneba argentina, xbox redeem code).

Setup 1:
1. DTS Interactive (So you could choose multichannel audio on your Realtek Console even if your laptop only has a stereo (single 3.5 audio jack) output. Could also be the case with Dolby Digital Live but I haven't tried yet. Patched Realtek locks to stereo.
2. Dolby Audio Premium (To activate Dolby Atmos for Speaker). If you don't have a Dolby license use Sound Unbound and DTS:X, but don't install any dolby software to avoid conflicts.
3. Tango Hotel X-Ray VAD, you can find in this forum. (I used code because their minions are all over audio forums reporting uploads of their software. (Business as usual).

Setup 2:
1&2 Same as above.
3. Steelseries Sonar - free and better (subjective) version of Nahimic and works on any Windows PC.

I am using setup 2 now and it sounds better than setup 1, probably because Tango Hotel X-ray VAD is very old and only supports 16 bit 92khz max quality, whereas Sonar is 24 bit 92khz and Sonar is more customizable and flexible settings wise.
 
I have found a not-so-perfect method.
Make the following content into a batch file and put it together with svcl.exe.

@Echo off
explorer Shell:AppsFolder\DTSInc.DTSSoundUnbound_t5j2fzbtdg37r!App
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >nul
taskkill /f /im "DTSSoundUnbound2.exe"
svcl /SetSpatial "DefaultRenderDevice" "DTS:X Ultra"

Then just start it when the computer boots up. It will automatically switch to DTS:X Ultra for you, and you no longer need to switch manually. However, the price is to endure the DTS Sound Unbound GUI slash.
It is very simple to completely hide the batch window. Just make it into an exe file. However, I have limited skills and I am not a programmer. I can't find an effective way to run UWP without GUI. . .
I don't know if I made a wrong change to the OS or something else. I feel that the DTS Sound Unbound background task did not successfully register the DTS:X Ultra to the system after Win10 restart, although it is displayed in the Spatial audio, unless it is run once in the foreground, and then the SoundVolumeView can switch to it correctly.
I hope this helps people who are having the same issues.

Here this is a RC. Maybe that's why the minions did not take it down. It's hard finding the updated versions of this around the web.
