Do any of these allow you to change the crossover points?
Whatever you mean with "these" - no!

If you use Windows, then you can set the crossover frequency by changing the registry (and restart pc).

For Realtek audio chip the default is 60 Hz:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Realtek\AECBF\icrcAudioProcessingDemo\AdvGCC]
"cut_off_frequency"=dword:00001770

For my audio setup I changed it to 80 Hz:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Realtek\AECBF\icrcAudioProcessingDemo\AdvGCC]
"cut_off_frequency"=dword:00001f40

Have a look into your registry before changing this value.

The only way I can get sound working is by using the DCH driver on either MUC or the one provided by HP.

then stick with either the HP based Realtek drivers or the ones from MUC if those versions work, Dan
Alan's DCH modded drivers are not guaranteed to work correctly with your HP laptop since I'm guessing the customized HP based Realtek audio drivers have some special configs that Alan's DCH modded drivers do not have.

btw, my younger brother has an HP Spectre x360 15-df laptop and works fine with the pre-installed 6.0.8720.1 Realtek driver. I won't bother trying the modded DCH driver on there and mess things up (and risk my brother getting mad at me for installing a modded driver that may not work well)

NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
DCH DRIVER VERSION 6.0.9042.1
DOLBY ATMOS APP VERSION UPDATED

ATTENTION: You will need to uninstall the currently installed version before continuing with this installation. A condition has been imposed for this due to problems reported by some users.

Those who want only Realtek material, just choose the panel option (HDA or UAD), select your decoder and deselect the rest.

ENJOY!!!
Alan,the old drivers you published before,such as 8633,8639 ,or earlier versions are not available for download ,can you upload the old drivers again?!!

I don't know, but in the first and second picture I see a deactivated audio bus. Did you activate it or not?

You installed so much. Maybe not all could work at the same time, but some.
Have you tested all these functions and audio tools?

我不知道,但是在第一张和第二张图片中,我看到了停用的音频总线。您是否激活了它?

您安装了这么多。也许并非所有人都可以同时工作,但有些人可以。
您是否测试了所有这些功能和音频工具?

I got now 5.1 in games but how to get 5.1 in youtube ?
Good luck with that. There are chrome settings but the only really good 5.1 music I get has been using Foobar or streamed from sources like Archive.org using Alan's drivers (huge difference for older hardware)

@TechJeff
I guess YT do not support multichannel audio in their videos.
So it could be a waste of time to try.


If your present default audio device supports 5.1, then all sources could send to this audio output.
You could try it with analogue output, if you have 5.1 loudspeaker system.
But be aware that no You need to have an upscaler app like Dolby Home Theater or Nahimic is active!

P.e.:


... and then this: https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html

***

Okay, I apologize for the misinformation I gave.
I found this yt-video. Look at video discription! It's new for me. YT only support 5.0 inside a 2.0 audio track.


And here is the video for editing g00gl chrome browser options.


I'm totally confused now. With YT it's all a mess ... o_O

I've tried installing both THX TruStudio and Sound Blaster Connect but neither app is saving my options properly. They both revert to 'Speaker mode' even though I repeatedly set them to 'Headphones'. Is anyone else experiencing this?

The ultra-low speaker did not produce sound during the test.

@Alan Finote, is it anyhow possible, that my Music-Playback (MP3, over AIMP) runs from Time to Time slowly, & then normally again? The installed Driverversion is the 6.0.9042.1

Hi,

I have an Asus ROG Strix Z490-F with SL1220 audio chipset. I just installed the latest version of this driver in order to get 5.1 sound over SPDIF. While I am able to select DTS Interactive oder Dolby Digittal Live from the Windows sound control panel, I am only receiving playback from the left and right front speakers.

I just installed the manufacturer's drivers and modded them with APO driver. Now DDL is working as intended.

try using an older version of the DCH modded driver like 9003 or 8996 - sometimes the latest version (like 9042) is not always the best version for your machine

----

ever since the "fixed" 8996 or 9003 version, installing Dolby Atmos from the DCH modded driver pack along with Realtek Audio Console and the Realtek EQ & environment options are gone and the "Dolby Atmos Immersive Sound" option appears instead (in this pic)


realtek-audio-console-dolbyatmossound-embedded.png


I think this behavior is by design (aka. expected behavior) as Realtek decided to "integrate" the Dolby Atmos sound option in here (when installing Dolby Atmos) and block out the Realtek Sound Effect options (like EQ & environment) since v1.16.228.0. the last version of Realtek Audio Console to "not" do this is 1.15.227.0 where the EQ & other Realtek audio sound effect options remain available while having Dolby Atmos installed. I had to remove the latest Realtek Audio Console app and manually install an older version like 1.15.227.0 just to get the Realtek EQ & environment sound options back
