FX Connfigurator is part of APO Driver, which is not exclusive to Realtek. This thread is for APO Driver.

New DTS does not support 5.1.
Set up Atmos for 5.1, then add
{12844204-3EAD-4d9b-AB7F-B1C0FC218915} in Global FX APO and also replace Endpoint FX APO contents. Go to sound device advanced settings and apply Dolby Digital.
I would recommend you to use HDMI to connect to the receiver. Your receiver already has Dolby effects and the surround upmixer as the APO enhancer.
You can still use enhancer on HDMI, but why? The receiver has already all features.

ooohhh... I wanted to control the sound by my pc
anyway this is a little complicated for my knowledge... thank you...
Control the sound. By HDMI. Do not use SPDIF for 5.1 if you can use native HDMI.

Hi Dolby Atmos works, but as soon as I go to the settings tab, can I fix the error somehow?

1.uninstall all other spatial software.
2.download DTS SOUND UNBOUND through windows store pause the download when 67mb is downloaded.
3.restart pc
4.do not allow download of DTS SOUND UNBOUND again (after restart)
it may work (not necessary)

I tried this method, and it really works.
I just tried DTS Headphone X and didn't noticed any difference in sound.
But in case of Atmos for built-in speakers, i noticed a huge improvement, but i wasn't able to hear any rear or height virtual speakers. The front sounds definately was really great and crisper, but... idk what exactly went wrong. Maybe is the fact that i was using external speakers and i do not have a laptop

you can not edit it can be only through spatial software,without spatial software it works with default setting.

hello. i hope someone can help... on Windows 10 everything for audio worked fine. but i reformat the system and now use Windows 8.1 for compatibility reasons with certain game. now that works fine, BUT now i have audio issues.

please, i hope someone can help.


so... on windows 10 it was easy.
download APO Driver from puresoftapps.
install PCEE4 and FX Configurator
use Configurator to setup for DHTv4 on HDMI
insert .reg file and install DHTv4

wala, everything worked good. i could configure my HDMI audio for 5.1 and use DHTv4 for two things... 1.) decode DPLII back to surround sound and 2.) apply volume leveling feature.

however, on Windows 8.1 here i am having trouble and have tried the following with no luck...
DHTv3
DHTv4
Dolby Advanced Audio v2
DTS Digital Entertainment.

with the Dolby products i get the following error...
Windows has detected that audio enhancements for the following device are causing problems
Would you like to disable Driver Enhancements for this device?

naturally, i click no. i still get audio and the DHTv4 software is still accessible. however, it just doesn't do anything. no volume leveling and no DPLII decoding.

with the DTS product, i simply get no sound at all and no error.


i REALLY want both features... DPLII decoding and Volume Leveler/Loudness Equalization.


can someone help me find a solution? anyone? T_T

Don't know if anyone knows this, I just tried it on a whim, and I wanted to share for anyone interested. I was just wondering if I used the patcher on FX configurator to patch a HD style rltkAPO64.dll and then just renamed it rltkAPOU64.dll then drop it in system32 if It would work with current installed UAD drivers. It does. Realteak Console everything functions and works. NICE. This should add some flexibility/less hastle to some people.

Edit* added 3rd pic with better view of optical out.

well, i don't know why but all-of-a-sudden PCEE4 and DHTv4 are working 100% again. it is inexplicable. but hopefully it never happens again! ^_^
