- download latest version. (only standard version works on my system for now)
- turn off your internet connection totally, both ethernet and wifi. (this is mandatory)
- uninstall all previous AAF mod driver or other (original realtek drivers) and don't restart yet.
- delete left over drivers with DriverStoreExplorer (the entities which have the provider Alan Finotty at all segments and Realtek ones under the sound).
- purge and clean your registry with ccleaner.
- restart your computer.
- install AAF Mod drivers.
- restart your computer
- check from windows settings > system > sound that your sound card is seen as AAF Optimus Sound.
- if you had done everything in order than drivers should work as they are intended to be.
- now you can turn on your internet connection.


Can you try these steps? I couldn't make it work for the first time too.
And I know another one who could make Sonic and Dolby work with these procedure.
We couldn't make SBConnect work either.
Hello,
Yes this did finally solve the issue after testing for those having the same issue.

Help me please.
The AAF Optimus Sound driver 6.0.8960.1 (Signed) worked for me. But after a network outage and PC boot, a problem appeared. I will throw off the screenshots below. I tried reinstalling Windows. After that, the driver worked well for 5-10 minutes. Then, for a reason not clear to me, the same error appeared.

Installed Windows 2004 pro. At the last installation attempt, I went through all the steps:

download the latest version. (only standard version works on my system so far)
- completely disconnect the Internet, both Ethernet and Wi-Fi. (it is necessary)
- uninstall all previous AAF mod drivers or others (original realtek drivers) and don't reboot just yet.
- remove the remaining drivers from DriverStoreExplorer (entities that have the provider Alan Finotti in all segments and Realtek with sound).
- clean up and clean your registry with ccleaner.
- restart your computer.
- install the AAF Mod drivers.
- restart your computer
- check in Windows settings> System> Sound that your sound card looks like AAF Optimus Sound.
- if you did everything in order, then the drivers should work as they should.
- now you can turn on the internet.
+
- If you still have difficulty, please provide a file below. Open the compressed file and copy rtkhdaud.dat to "% systemroot% \ System32 \ drivers", replace it if it already exists and restart your computer.

Sorry to waste your time. But after buying Dolby Access, I liked your mod more.
Headphones are connected through the rear jacks of the PC via a 3.5 mm jack, Realtek® ALC1150 Audio Codec. Which version is better for this: AAFRealtekMod or AAF_DCH_RealtekModded?

I recommend the DCH-UAD version, as it is more updated.

I think the problem was the automatic driver update from Windows Update. If your connection to the Internet is fast enough, perhaps this update was performed even before the Ethernet RJ-45 cable was disconnected.

@Vlad94
About the description of the error contained in the second image (I believe that your language is Russian), please, I ask you to translate into English and post here so that I can look for the solution for your case.

Translation of the error from the second screenshot:
"The driver for this device may be corrupted, or there is not enough memory or other resources in the system. (Code 3)"


Disabling automatic driver updates for windows 10 did not solve my problem.


There is no IntcAzAudAddService service in Task Manager> Services. And I found it in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ IntcAzAudAddService. Changed the Start parameter from 3 to 2 (start automatically). Rebooted the pc. It didn't work either.

The RTKVHD64.sys file was found in the DRIVERS folder. He is there.

My microphone doesn't work after installing the driver
Any help

@Alan Finote
Did you check all setting in the control panel? I always have to do it sometimes more than once after each install. Its not automatic it requires you to dial it in. I use the optical out the back and the front panel for headset simultaneously. Alans drivers have never failed me.

BTW Alan still working perfectly on Asus ALC892. You rock man. I could not survive this shelter without the joy of music. You are doing God's work here imo.

Based on internet searches, I found out that there are 2 options of 5.1 surround sound setup. 5.1 with side speakers as well as 5.1 with rear speakers. However, on my PC, I don't have such options. I'm only limited to 5.1 with the side pair. Is this limited by my motherboard chipset/design or the driver itself?
I do know that the official 5.1 surround setup has the surround at 90-110 degrees on the side. Why are there PC with options for rear pair?
Based on Realtek HD Audio Manager, my audio driver version is 6.0.8895.1, codec ALC1150. My motherboard is the ASRock Z170 Gaming K6 Fatal1ty.

Another question. I have unchecked the optional subwoofer (because I don't have it). However, the LFE audio is not redirected to the front speakers. Is this driver issue?

Installation successful in my Dell Inspiron 7559 laptop, my audio driver changed from "Realtek Audio" to "AAF DCH Optimus Sound". Followed the instruction for the DCH policy thing. The Realtek Audio Console effects work fine but no Dolby Digital Live & DTS Interactive option in, and the others bundled in (Sound Blaster, Sonic Studio 3, Dolby Atmos) effects don't work at all. I tried doing the "RunningOnWindows8point1" policy fix but still doesn't work. Help appreciated!

I'm running on Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19041 Build 19041.

Why do I choose to install Cinema 5 and it will install at 720°? But I cannot find the audio when I use 720°, Cinema 5 can be used normally.
I am sure the installation process is correct, because I have been using it for a while, that is, every time I install,
I have to reinstall many times before I have a chance to install Cinema 5 correctly.
How can I solve it? Sorry that English is not my native language, thank you!
