Why does new APO Driver 2.5.0, when opening it. Says this message "this package was created with a trial version of advanced installer you may use it for evaluation purposes only"

@alanfox2000 hi boos, my laptop self-contained Sound Blaster Cinema 5, I want to switch to Sound Blaster 720, but use SoftwareLock doesn't work. Folder SoftwareLock is not unnecessary on my computer. Can you give me a hint?

New APO Driver 2.5.1 doesn't have Dolby Dax API 3.20403.436.0 Version for the Dolby Dlls. Everything still says 3.20402.432.0, even when you are selecting the service and installing.

Please fix this issue.

What's the normal procedure for updating APO Driver? Do I have to restore registry using fx configurator and then uninstall APO Driver?
What happens if I don't restore registry, then update APO Driver, then backup registry of the audio device? Is the new backup registry normal?

It seem the new Dolby Access had added "Dolby Atmos for built-in speakers" options on Spatial Sound Format and they want replace "Dolby Atmos" UWP apps from laptop. They just add a equalizer for Dolby Atmos for Headphones/home theater/built-in speakers. But Dolby Access missing Dolby Radar feature and they don't bring back Dolby Atmos for stereo speakers which found in 17763 build.

I posted this in another thread as well but now that the DTS Sound Unbound app is available, although only for users of the insider preview build 18898 and up, is there some way to bypass the requirement for that build and install it on 1903 build 18362?

Thanks bro for the link

This app is only for Sound Blaster AE-7 Audio Card, it will not work on Realtek Audio Chips.
Oh, Ok.
I thought it was Universal.

Hello! I've a problem using Dolby atlosbpeaker system for gaming and I hoped that someone here could help me. I installed Dolby Atmos speaker system successfully (the effects work great, it automatically switch between the internal speaker of my laptop and the headphone when I connect it). However, I wanted to try Dolby Atmos speaker system for gaming too (because I play a lot, and thus application also offer more personnalisation of the surround virtualisation). After following the installation instructions, the application is still named Dolby Atmos for gaming in the menu, but correctly named Dolby Atmos speaker system is the app. What's more m, after the installation and as long as I don't connect my headphones, it seems to work correctly. However, as soon as I connect my headphones, the app crash and the dax api services turns off. After that, the dax api doesn't start, even after disconnecting the headphones and rebooting. The 1pp tells me that it can't connect to the audio driver. Does anyone have any idea and would be kind enough to share it? Thanks!

I've first completely uninstalled Dolby Atmos speaker system and the app driver and reinstalled my audio driver to be sure to start from scratch. Then I've followed the instructions given by alanfox2000:
-install Dolby Atmos for gaming
-install Apo driver with dax 3 component
-copy the xml (the ones for the Lenovo laptop) for dolby Atmos speaker system for gaming to the folder dolbyaposvc
-use fx configurator on my endpoint and apply the settings for Dolby Atmos UWP gaming XML 3.2
-restart dax api (here I generally also reboot to be sure)

Is something wrong with my way of doing it?

Did you delete the following folders while uninstalling?
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dolby\DAX3
