Making Audio Enhancers Work on Windows

[CityCultivator]

I am a total noob to APO driver and I need your help.

Until now I have been using an older version of Alan Finote's Realtek mod. All I want is the Desktop version of Soundblaster Connect (720°).

However, since the onboard sound on my MSI Z390i mainboard is, to put it politely, rather underwhelming I got myself an external DAC (Topping D30).

I uninstalled Alan Finotes mod, installed APO-driver, started FX Configurator, selected my DAC as endpoint, clicked on Product config tool, selected Sound Blaster Connect 2 Desktop app and applied it.

Then I installed SB Connect, and double clicked GenKGA3.1 .
Then I rebooted and tried using SB Connect. The software loads but cannot find a compatible audio device. What am I doing wrong?

1. You did not mix between Desktop and UWP?
2. You did delete all unneeded kga files?

Yes, I kept only CTLLAS4HX2.kga

I also tried it on my work computer (Windows 7 and another USB DAC). Same problem.

Try a restart. If it still doesn't work, I don't know more.

Is it supposed to work with ANY sound card or just with Realtek chipsets?

To my knowledge, any.

Hello Everyone, today I opened my Realtek Audio Program and I notice that was only one Output on Back Panel and another Output to Front Panel and look the Digital Output, my motherboard was output Digital by RCA and my PC isn't made by MSI, it's made by Asus.
I uninstalled the drivers and I installed again the same (With Sound BlasterX 720º).

The Chip is Realtek ALC883, so, it's a 5.1 controller and I Have a 5.1 Surround System.
Thanks for your Help.
Sorry for my bad English.

today, what is the best equalizer for a 5.1 analog output system?
Does the boom 3d work for 5.1 analog outputs?

Hello @alanfox2000, Yesterday, I install your Driver (HDA), in version 6.0.1.8656 with Creative APO.
The Creative Program don't Output in 5.1, only Stereo, but, in Realtek Definition Program was selected 5.1 Output.
Fix this Problem.
For example, now I running the Mod of Lynn, version 6.0.1.8328 and the Creative Program outputs for all Speakers.
I want a driver more corrent, BUT only compatible with Creative APO, and Output for 5.1 Set.
Thanks.

Now I'm searching for Help, I need them: @alanfox2000 has written such a Batchfile on GitHub to install an UAD, named DISM_Install.bat, but it just won't work. everytime I try to run, it takes Error: This can't be done about the syntax, or however...

Sometimes I began to personalize this. For now, the Workfolder is called C:\RTK_UWP, within all necessary Files, included this f***in' Batchfile.
The Original is shown here:
@Echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion FOR /R %~dp0 %%# in (*.appxbundle) DO ( SET APPXBUNDLE=%%~nx# ) FOR /R %~dp0 %%# in (*.xml) DO ( SET License1XML=%%~nx# ) dism /online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:"%~dp0%APPXBUNDLE%" /LicensePath:"%~dp0%License1XML%" /DependencyPackagePath:"%~dp0Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.26706.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx"

And the personalized Version here:
@Echo on
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion FOR /R (57684963c93747ba81309c475c30c965.appxbundle) SET-APPXBUNDLE=%nx#%
FOR /R (57684963c93747ba81309c475c30c965_License1.xml) SET-License1XML=%nx#%
dism /online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:"C:\RTK_UWP\57684963c93747ba81309c475c30c965.appxbundle" /LicensePath:"C:\RTK_UWP\57684963c93747ba81309c475c30c965_License1.xml" /DependencyPackagePath:"C:\RTK_UWP\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.27323.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx"

The even ever coming Error is about the License1.xml (SET License1XML=%%~nx#). Here it hangs :-(

I'm frustrated i tried everything but i cannot get the "Sound Blaster Connect 720°" to work.
I have the mainboard "Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac" which also includes the "Realtek ALC1220 (Sound Blaster Connect Cinema 5)".
I tried the "GenKGA3.1" and restarted my PC but with any effect. I even deleted the whole "SoftwareLock" folder but even then nothing changes.

 

[Metal-Tom]

Do you need help to install Realtek UAD properly ?

Do you need help to install Realtek UAD properly ?

Alright! But it's only the Syntax-Problem with the DISM_Install.bat, all other (*.inf-Files by Rightklick-Install) was done without Problems...

Now, my SSD was be changed, I've installed first temporarily a HDA-DriverMod-Combo from DJ Urko & Alan Finotty, for having at the Time the best Sound, until the UAD can be properly installed.
So you says, that you can help me, I'll be fine

Are you sure you need that install? It appears that these are prerequisites for some components.
If the prerequisite is already installed, you don't have to bother with that specific install.
Are there anything that is not working in the UAD Install?

 

[Hristov RH-Records]

UAD will never work Properly on HDA based Chips Remember that and once install UAD on HDA based you will never uninstall that driver properly.

Right Click option is best to install Realtek UAD, don't use DISM_install.bat

Yes, the Realtek Audio console won't to access the RPC-service

Right Click option is best to install Realtek UAD, don't use DISM_install.bat

How do I so, that the Realtek-App will access to the RPC, like above just written?
