no thanks, Romulus2K4. I found the problem - I did not mention what version of Windows I was using when I had the problem back then.
I did not use the latest version of Windows 10 (I had the Win10 v1709 release which Nahimic 3 didn't recognize my onboard ALC892 chip. I got Nahimic 3 working on my Gigabyte board after upgrading from v1709 to v1803 version of Win10, then re-installing APO driver and Nahimic 3 & things started to work). Guess I really needed to use the Windows 10 April 2018 Update / Redstone 4 version for Nahimic 3.

pics to prove this point-

using win10 v1709, nahimic 3 does not detect audio device on gigabyte board:

then using win10 v1803 version - nahimic 3 works on gigabyte board
nahimic3uwpapp-on-ga-78lmtusb3r2-win10v1803.png


seems like the newest Nahimic 3 APO integration & service files included in APO driver work best with the 1803 (RS4) version, not with the 1709 (RS3) version; only NahimicService.exe file loaded in Win10 v1709 but in v1803 the NahimicService.exe, NahimicSvc32.exe & NahimicSvc64.exe files loaded at startup.
I'll wait until alanfox2000 releases APO driver 2.1.8 or higher, then I will update. I'm skipping 2.1.7.

meanwhile, check out the comments made in this Nahimic forum thread (WA-HA-HA!)

It should be the NH3ProductSettings.exe or A-Volute SoftwareComponent problem

Remove the newer version of ProductSettings, get the old version of NH3ProductSettings.exe here
https://github.com/alanfox2000/real... - MSI - Legacy models/NH3ProductSettings.exe

Try older of A-Volute SoftwareComponent
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=a-volute
Replace the original file in C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64
The new version of A-Volute SoftwareComponent marked as support 1709
Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Later Servicing Drivers,Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Later Upgrade & Servicing Drivers
I expected the current newest version A-Volute SoftwareComponent v1.1.6 will be released on Windows Update and mark as Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Later Servicing Drivers,Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Later Upgrade & Servicing Drivers soon.

Have you set 5.1 Speakers on Realtek Control Panel and format to 48000hz?

Test if any audio out on every speakers using Realtek Product Config.
After that test Dolby v3 Product Config.

I've try everything you just said. All speaker word fine with Realtek and its Speaker fill function. But when I use dolby gaming v3 its can't upmix stereo source even when the surround turn on. With dolby, stereo source only on 2 Front. 5.1 source full 5 speaker. I dont know if its has problems with digital connection in dolby or not because my speaker only have 6 RCA input so I use 3 2RCA to 3.5mm. I cant test with SPDIF connection. Also when I use dolby app v2 with old APO driver its works fine. but in new APO driver its has that problems even with v2 preset

It can be use for movies, music and games. Don't be fooled by the name of the app. It's amazing for all of the above media format. I will upload a v3 high-quality preset soon.

Hi I want to install Dolby atmos. Is it possible if im running windows 10 1511? I'm not updating them because it slows down my laptop.
 
I have a lenovo ideapad y700 and after installing the driver for dolby atmos the internal subwoofer stopped working... Tried v2 and v3... What can I do?

I already have Dolby Atmos for gaming installed. @alanfox2000 installed it for me. I'll share v3 high-quality preset today.
 
If you have instructions for dolby gaming by alanfox, then share it
 
Jayce said:
What instructions? You said he install it for you.

Yes he installed, but in future if dolby gaming shows error, alanfox cant install it for us everytime because of errors, so you don't have instructions

Great work, I'll try it, I noticed my High Quality Preset v3 is different than yours, but it's good

Yeah. I was using the default preset that Alan posted, but the volume and effect was so low and I could barely hear. So then I edited and use some of your settings for high quality crisp, and now my volume and effect are loud and crisp. It's sounds so amazing now, like movie theater, with every audio format using Dolby Atmos.

Let me know how it is when you try it out.

Dolby Gaming just amazes me with it's magical audio enhancing capabilities

Does your Dolby Gaming has additional preset selector enabled, a speaker icon on top right corner which is enabled in alanfox's dolby gaming

I want to fully utilize it's features, if you know how to enable it, then share, you can ask alanfox about it, have a look at attached image below
