It doesn't come with a certificate, if it did you would NOT need to disable anything. Last I checked the APO pack injects a previously installed driver into the driver store, cheap attempt to bypass.

My bad. It actually doesn't as you have stated . However you need to disable Driver signature enforcement . And in some systems, DSE is linked to Secure Boot.
It patches the APO on the fly using Pihto's patch. As so, some antivirus won't allow the patch to run nor give a warning it has blocked the file.

That is correct. Not actually sure why he doesn't patch the last patchable .dll and just distribute that, like what I did for AAF.

Maybe he wanted to make the user the latter responsable of the modification of the dll. Eastern things .
Ferather, I have being using the Realtek native headphones virtualization and it really does a good job. I know you're not a fan of headphones but , any thoughts on that ?

No comment, I don't use headphones, and if I did it would get plugged into my Z906, not the onboard analogue.
I am guessing the ones on SPDIF are the same as the default ones with Realtek?

S1220A | SPDIF > DTS Audio (6ch 24b 48k) > Optical > Z906 > Decode | Headphones port > Headphones.

Cables are a bit of an issue, plus my ears don't like most headphones on too long. Interestingly, I talk to people on discord who use headphones + mic, and I hear others better than they do.
It might be the headphone suppression system that is built into the headphones or software, who knows, I don't really dig into it much when it happens.

I heard someone open a can of drink not long ago, and asked what they where drinking, two others said they heard nothing, questioned person replied "A can of coke".

Can agree with all you said plus all h. manufacturers tend to colorize as fuck the response. You have to invest a good amount to buy some flat monitors to actually enjoy good sound. The wired issue can not be fixed. I feel like if Bluetooth rise the temperature on the ears and most of the times you have to pick open ones and let some of your privacy spread out to actually listen better. But having said so, there is no better solution to go mobile

Wireless will reduce audio quality, that includes Bluetooth, and need batteries.

Well, it is all digital data after all. It can be enhanced at the cost of battery usage. Logitech actually is a good example of excellent headphones sound quality plus battery life. But in any way, thanks god we have both options

Hello. I installed the APO Driver & followed this guide and if I set Dolby Digital & launch a game it resets to 48khz 16bit again. Why is this?

Here's the APO Driver if anyone needs it.

Hello gents, do y'all perhaps know any ways how to get Dolby access working with the Dolby Access OEM? If so, how?
Responding would be appreciated.

I saw this one reply, but i didn't quite understand what he meant by making it "look for the license".
This one has the keys, you just need to say Dolby Access to look there for the license and that's all, Dolby AccessOEM and Dolby Access can be installed together, that is, they have to.


I've already proven it works on this forum, I'm not here to share my drivers and I don't want to spam

Desktop versions of Dolby Audio & Home Theater (DS1, PCEE3, PCEE4) does not support 5.1 & 7.1

Use UWP versions of Dolby Atmos in Windows 10, it supports 7.1, just edit it's xml file & set it to 7.1

First Install Realtek UAD, it's UWP version for windows 10, set to 7.1 in speaker properties

Then install APO Driver & install Dolby UWP app of your choice
