Making Audio Enhancers Work on Windows

[aliencaocao]

You are terribly fucked up. You should never delete a program install folder, you risk deleting the proper uninstaller which is present in the install folder.
Search for msicuu and try to use that utility.
Maintainence driver in start menu could be used to uninstall the software.

No i alr restored the programms folder. Even before I deleted it, I could not find APO Driver in the control panel programs list. I also cannot find mantainence driver in start menu. Doing windows search dont give me any results.
msicuu worked for me. Thanks!

Open the original installer, it will give an uninstall option.

Tried this, it keep saying theres already another version installed

When you first installed the old version of apo driver, you used that old installer. rerun that old one.

Oh I deleted that right after I install finish. Been doing that for a few month already with no issue updating

Try to find another copy of that old installer. Check whether that copy is still online.
Or else ask alanfox2000 to give the installer if you can't still get it.

When will @alanfox2000 bring a new UWP/DCHU-Driver with possibly extended/expanded DTS-Features, like DTS-Encoder and many more? I wish for it

@alanfox2000: My "realtek-high-definition-audio-driver-6.0.8787.1-dchu-sbc-31-08-2019" doesn't provide DTS on my ROG Crosshair VI Extreme, but why?

@Metal-Tom, not possible to get DTS:X Ultra work. Need someone know ability to reverse/crack software .

But how do I create/modify such a RTKHDAUD.dat File?

I've typed the shown Values in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Analog Devices\DTSAPO, but I can't see something after a Reboot in the Realtek Audio Console

 

[andreaspujihar]

wow this work with analog soundcard but AC3 is not support

 

[erpguy53]

Wow alanfox2000 you have really done the deep dive and followed the white rabbit all the way to see how far the rabbit hole goes! Thank you!

As a side note: what Creative has done here attempting an OEM 'lock in' on Realtek drivers is illegal in some markets, it looks like Microsoft has to be complicit too to host drivers on Windows Update.

I'm anxious to see if I can get this to work so that Windows Update won't keep updating and installing Creative.UWPRPCService.exe, but as this happens without even installing any Realtek drivers on Windows Update, it's probably the vendor hardware id that's doing this which can be very hard to circumvent (but not impossible).

the other problem is that the newer versions of the mbapo232.dll & mbapo264.dll files (v2.0.0.15 or higher and remove KGA license file checking) "hardlock" the Creative SBCinema 5 enhancements on your ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming ITX gaming board, Hoak. you need v2.0.0.14 or older of those two crucial DLL files (which allow using certain KGA files) to maybe allow usage of SBX360 or SBX720 on your ASRock board instead of SBC5.

 

[Metal-Tom]

Is here anybody, who knows, if the ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Extreme's ALC1220S have a 5-Pin-Connector for S/PDIF (RCA) in & out besides the PWM-Connectors on the Bottom? Or what means this to be?

@alanfox2000 is there any way to directly download the .Appx file of realtek audio console ? I tried https://store.rg-adguard.net/ but it doesn't work but other uwp apps of creative/dolby/dts works, u can download direct appx file from rg-adguard store.

Hi, TY for everyone's work here. I have one of @Alan Finote 's more recent packages installed and do not have this one thing.. dolby v4 (the home theater window). Any way without breaking this package to install/activate just that one? Dolby V4 or the equivalent.? TY for any help someone might be.

 

[jayf95]

Does anyone else have issues enabling dolby digital under the advanced sound settings menu (where you can change format e.g. 16 bit to 24 bit)? As is typical for MS, after an update it broke all sound, I managed it to fix it after reinstalling the APO driver, but when I try to the dolby digital setting, it gives me the failed to play test tone/this format isnt supported error
thanks

Do a restart and retry. It helps for me.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that didn't work. Lol Ive restarted my PC more times in the past two days than I have in the past 2 months. Nothing I try works sadly. Thanks anyways though

Acer Trueharmony not support apo driver????

 

[Jayce]

@alanfox2000 no Dolby Atmos driver updates yet?

 

[aliencaocao]

Dolby Atmos has stopped working for me for a month already. no matter what I try, it always says access driver failed. Tried all the possible fixes like reinstall driver/apo driver/appx and strictly followed the instructions given. However still not working. All the other sound processors are working except for anything related to dolby atmos UWP apps (dolby atmos for gaming, sound system, speaker system....etc)

 

[harris123424]

@alanfox2000 , I have sound blasterx h7 headphones and sound blasterx g6 sound card. I use Sound Blaster Connect official software. Is there reason to use APOdriver for Sound Blaster Cinema 5 ? or i will lose quality? and sound blasterx g6 will work with custom software?

Exactly same issue here! All other sound processors works but only this one does not!

Checked the System Events log, it says DAX3 API has error due to "unable to find tuning file"
