Go to "%systemroot%\System32\dolbyaposvc" and open the default.xml file in Notepad. After that, press CTRL + F on your keyboard and look for "default_profile". Note that you will be in game_shooter. Delete and set this parameter to "dynamic". Ready!
If you do not see the files inside this folder, configure your file explorer to "Show hidden files".
So what ever profile is set as default, it uses that profile for everything?

game_shooter
I know game shooter but what I am asking is whatever is set for default_profile=, does it use that profile's settings for every type media? Like if dynamic, music, or movie was set a the default profile in the XML preset, would it use that profile's settings for everything you play/watch, even if you tried changing it to a different profile?

The file "AutoSwitchConfig.xml" answers your question, my friend!

The file "AutoSwitchConfig.xml" answers your question, my friend!

But you have to set in runtime.xml <AutoSwitchEnabled value="False to true for the auto switch to work properly. I tried it without it being true and it didn't work but when it's set to true, it works

The new version doesn't work for me. The old one (25.02) was OK. Now I have no settings, no control panel and Dolby/Nahimic say I have no driver. Used DDU, tried reinstalling 4 times.

For more clarification, I have MSI GL72 6QC. The only drivers that seem to work for me are the ones from MSI website and your driver from 25.02. The newest one, the version with Creative and even the stock Realtek driver R2.82 don't work. Any ideas?

Edit: Ooops, the situation is worse. I tried to revert to your drivers from 25.02 and they don't work too. No sound at all. What can I do? The driver doesn't even appear in the Remove Programs section after installing.

Edit2: I managed to make the one from 25.02 work. I installed the driver from MSI, removed it via Remove Programs (without DDU) and then installed the modded driver. It seems that some files from the old driver are needed for the others to work as I didn't wipe fully this time and this helped me.

Can it be C:\Windows\System32\drivers\RTKVHD64.sys? It wasn't there after I wiped everything and installed the modded driver. Now I have it with the modded one and its time of creation is the time when I installed the driver from MSI website.

I have ALC 892

Thanks again, working fully. Atmos completely unlocked in the windows 10 sound options which is exactly why i got this.
Dont see what else needs to be improved besides giving an auto uninstaller before installing the driver so it works perfectly everytime.

Had to uninstall all old drivers before this worked, errors when launching atmos before that.

These drivers have to be installed in specific way? I mean should I do something before installation?
Should I remove standard Realtek drivers before installation?

Regards!

You will need to remove the currently installed Realtek driver, restart your computer, and begin the installation process for this package.

I dont have a leak, check and see what setting is causing it; or if you did a full clean install with them.
Mines barely 50mbs.

Also @OP can we get Sound Blaster Connect added into this? Id love to have it unlocked for my sound card.




These drivers ROCK! Atmos headphones useable off my sound card along with onboard.
Amazing.

Hi @Alan Finote do you have in plan to do something like Turtle Beach Effects you did on last patch? That and a driver centered on gaming would be fantastic

Thanks! I've installed it just 10mins ago and unfortunately Dolby Home Theater and Dolby Atmos for Gaming are not working.

First error (black background):
An error occurred with access to the Dolby Atmos driver. Restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persists.

Second error:
Dolby Audio drivers could not be started. You must restart the computer and if the problem persists, reinstall the drivers.

I've deinstalled previous Realtek drivers, reboot and then tried to install your driver. Two monts ago I was used a trial version of Dolby for Gaming (from Microsoft Store). Could this be the source of the problem?

If youre getting that error you didnt remove everything correctly, from control panel and device manager.
User error, not the drivers.

I ran into the same thing till i realized these drivers require a proper purge to install.

Here is the install process for these drivers that works for me.
  1. Uninstall all Realtek from control panel uninstall.
  2. Restart, check control panel again.
  3. Go into my documents, right click This PC, then click manage.
  4. Open Device Manager
  5. Go to Sound, Video and Game Controllers
  6. Uninstall Realtek from this list ( right click it and uninstall)
  7. Restart - Then install these again.

So how I should remove it properly? I used Drivers Store Explorer from Github and it shows me only one file of Realtek drivers which I deleted. After installation new drivers I could see only one file from Alan's drivers and thats all.

EDIT:
@Mittenz OK, I'll do it following your steps.

Well, in my opinion, if you already have my previous mod installed on your machine and running perfectly, there is no need to upgrade.

hi Alan,

How do I turn off the DTS neo pc? Some versions of your drive have the on/off toggle and the RealtekDriver_2019_03 does not so it is always on
