Did you try the policy from the provided post above? Also just to check, did you install main or alternative?

Can you provide a screenshot of 'FX Config' with the SPDIF device selected, and composite showing:

Ah the driver has not installed, one minute, I need to sort some food out, we have two options, either private messaging or TeamViewer.

It should say "DTS DCH Audio Device" and not "Realtek(R) Audio", see below:

The old unplug internet cable to stop Windows update trick did it for him.
Same steps at post 1, + unplug network cable, restart, install, so on.

Optional preset update (will be in next update).

====

5.1 surround edit (not fully tested with stereo), I seem to get a mild quality increase:

<chain_v2 position="SFX" input="Any" output="Any">
<process tech_id="DTS Helios" instance_id="SFX"/>
</chain_v2>

Copy "SFX" input="Off" output="Off" and edit using 'replace all', same for tech_id.

Let me know what you think, you can message me if preferred.

Edit: The volume bug that happens to stereo with SFX on, happens also with the edit.
I will email DTS as I forgot to inform them, still the edit seems active.

Hey Ferather, I noticed that every time I update windows, it switches back to the Realtek driver and I have to reinstall this again. Is the only way to just stop updating? Cheers!

Potplayer preset: https://www.mediafire.com/file/mrrzfp7hfgdastu/Potplayer_Preset.7z/file

Open Potplayer, press F5 then reset (bottom left), close Potplayer, double click the 'Potplayer Preset.reg', (can be used to restore if you make a mistake).
Open Potplayer, press F5 then go to, Filter Control > Audio Decoder > Filter Management > Scan, Ok and then close Potplayer.

Note: If you have a high resolution display, right click and edit the .reg file, remove the '\Positions' section (at the top).

To enable direct bitreaming, instead of decode to PCM, press F5 > Audio > 'Set Built-In Audio Decoder' > Enable passthrough/bitstreaming > Ok.
Now select WASAPI as the passthrough renderer, and set it to exclusive event driven, close Potplayer, you are all setup.

Are you able to specify the Z690 version, there is a few (see here), you are correct nearly all the models are Sonic Studio and DTS.
I will need to read through the native drivers. However you can check the Realtek service is running (Task manager).

If you have the service, you should only need the app, you may-may not need to add Realtek FX keys.

Thank you very much for your help,the motherboard is ROG Strix Z690-A, yes it runs the, Realtek service , but the console has hardly anything for me the "loudness" and the highlights are important "high,low,powerful,etc"

That's a good start, normally you would edit the device policy with the policy editor app, but I am not 100% sure if it works on USB.


Once it flashes red, you can then edit the policy, for DTS DCH, I suggest the following (no Neo PC):

AudioProc -- 23-SupportDTS
DrvCtrl-52 -- 10-DTS Encoder
DrvCtrl-20 -- 3-Vista24BitRecord < 24bit Recording.

Location (copy for later): Windows\System32\drivers\RTKHDAUD.dat


If you add, delete or edit a policy, you will need to restart your computer.

Download the attachment above, then run 'AudioDevice.exe', at the bottom is a tab called 'Driver Policy', then on the left is 'Get Policy Driver', click this.
Now some of the tick boxes are populated (with your chips policy), you can add the ones I listed above (also see the video above).

Once you have added the 3 edits, press 'Save' at the top, the green text will flash red, now restart your computer.

Thanks, but I don't have anything checked by default...
I have it flashing red right away

But I think it's because it doesn't use the "DAT" file like Hdaudio, but this one:

usb.jpg

But it worked with the MSI driver (also usb audio Z590 Torpedo motherboard), can you fix it for me ?

So after pressing 'Get Policy Driver' nothing shows? Shame, as mentioned I was not sure if it would work with that chip.
If I find a method I will message you, unfortunately I have no experience with the USB models.

Thanks, I will look into this and let you know if I manage to find anything for the USB models and policy editing.

====

Reminder I don't make DTS technology, and I like updates, if you want to part with some money, buy a Sound Unbound license.
Since the latest update does contain a full license, you will likely need to stop the APO4 service to purchase one.

The preset has been tuned based on my THX certified speakers, I hope it suits you all.

Apps updated, see post 1, I also added a manual to download the files your self. All of you can download Ultra from the store, most of you the same for Sound Unbound.

I asked a few people and have not yet found a program, its possibly as simple as renaming the file, but the app wont read the data to make the file correctly.
Edit: You need the policy editor for USB Realtek, which so far I have not found, the one I have is HDAudio.
