Why did you removed Dolby UWP v2 from APO Driver v2.1.9
Same Component ID, all OEM laptop preinstall with API v2.xxxx.yyy.z can use API v3.xxxxx.yyy.z
API v3.xxxxx.yyy.z Component ID SWC\VEN_DOLBY&PID_DAX3APOSVC
API v2.xxxx.yyy.z Component ID SWC\VEN_DOLBY&PID_DAX3APOSVC
API v2.x.yyy.z Component ID SWC\VEN_DOLBY&PID_DAX3APISVC

You can rename the default.xml to HWID
Example:
Hardware ID
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_1458A002&REV_1003
XML File Name
HDAUDIO_DEV_0892_SUBSYS_1458A002_PCI_SUBSYS_A0021458.xml

USB
Hardware ID
USB\VID_8087&PID_8000&REV_0005
XML File Name
USB_VID_8087_PID_8000.XML

Thanks for the suggestions on my setup. As of now, everything important (movies/music) seems to work fine.

Before I restarted the Dolby installation, I had installed the Spatial Sound Card (standalone GE version) to try it out. It worked beautifully.
After trying various combinations, I kept the Spatial Sound Card and added the Dolby Digital Plus HT 7.6.5.1.
The combination of the two still sounds great (a bit more boost with both of them on) and if needed, I can disable the Spatial Sound Card.
I set the system up for 24 bit, 48kHz.

The only problem I find now, is playing videos through Chrome (Youtube stuff).
Even though its buffer seems to have preloaded enough of the video, there is a delay now and then (at almost regular intervals) as if it's downloading (it is) and can't do two things in parallel.
Chrome goes up to around 30% CPU whereas SSC and Dolby stay down to 2-6%.
Maybe it's a Chrome setting somewhere but I'll have to look for it.

So far, I'm a happy camper :)
Thank you all for the help.

@alanfox2000 sometimes when I turn off/on Dolby Atmos for gaming effect, the windows audio messes up and then I have either restore to previous point or restart the PC for it to not spaz out. Can you fix this issue in the next APO driver.

Hello,thanks for answering!
I found on the forum this modded_realtek_hda_8409_WIN10_64_dolby_dts_sbx720_eqapo_06042018.exe, is this same of Apo Driver or different ? (Maybe just different installation?)

You laptop support desktop version of dolby atmos.
Just install the desktop dolby atmos driver, api and app. And use the product config tool.
Can you sure the xml file under c:\\program files\commomfiles\Dolby for fixing tuning data missing for other unsupported Dolby Atmos PC?
Hi, I'm worth a desktop dolby atmos driver, api and app. I just thought that something else could be improved.

Is someone able to open Dolby Atmos Desktop Control Panel using 1.1.7.22 version on non-official dolby supported pc?

@DmiTrah , I have made a Dolby Atmos for Gaming XML 3.2.0 for you HWID. You can upgrade from desktop app to UWP app.

DTS:X Ultra supports 5.1 and 7.1 multi-channel audio and provides support for audio objects. Additionally, redesigned post-processing for speaker and headphone routes include enhanced bass response and headphone tuning for up to six pre-loaded, featured headphones.

It seem there are no DTS:X® Ultra individual software, you can only get it on Logitech Gaming Software.

Hi, thanks for the help. But if it does not make it difficult for you, could you write down the points on the points, how and what to do? For example 1,2,3 ...) I do not understand anything at all.
Well, I forgot the main thing to know, but does it make sense for me to do something, will it sound better?

Sonic Studio 3 UWP not support your HWID.

Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming use Dolby Atmos or Gaming app, just different XML file.

I had made ThinkSmart Hub 500 / 700 Presets for Dolby Atmos Speaker System and Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming

The ThinkSmart Hub 500 / 700 integrated speakers look likes external speakers. The value in <audio-optimizer-bands> and <regulator-tuning> make audio a big different.

Is there a difference between Dolby Atmos for gaming and Dolby Atmos speaker system for gaming? For example, better sound quality? Better UI?, Etc
