STATUS: Enabling DTS Spatial Mode

View attachment 195837

Hi Alan, Why my spatial sound feature is not working? But the sound effects produced by Dolby, DTS and SB720 work well (really great sound). I'm using an HDA panel.

Hi Alan, Why my spatial sound feature is not working? But the sound effects produced by Dolby, DTS and SB720 work well (really great sound). I'm using an HDA panel.

I have not yet enabled it, it is in the testing phase, in addition, the DTS Sound Unbound package is too large to be integrated into the installer. I will have to find a way to do that.

Hi Alan, I am using ASUS ROG Z390-F
Everything works for me except DTS:X Ultra, it seems cannot detect device "please connect to speakers"

and of course no spatial sound option of DTS X Ultra

and in digital output, it shows dts interactive but when i clicked it, it said not supported.

any help?

Check that your computer's analog audio is enabled. If not, enable it by connecting a speaker or headset to the rear or front (green) outputs respectively, or open the Realtek Audio Console and disable the automatic detection of the front panel.

I will look forward to it patiently. Thanks very much.

already tried to disable the automatic detection of the front panel, but DTS:x ultra still doesn't work

analog audio at the rear of the motherboard is always connecting to speakers

dolby atmos works, sonic studio works



and the automatic detectioj now cannot be re-enabled, everytime BSOD

Try the latest release, I just uploaded.

Speaker detection can be an odd one, although I have not had any reports of issues on my version, Alan will have it up and running soon.

[Ferather]

Can you check the service is running, I had issues with some PC's refusing the run the service, which may be a Windows issue.
Check Task Manager to see if the APO4 service is running on the left pane, hopefully its running.

@Alan Finotty, The Driver Store app can break things with Windows if the force feature is used, it will leave behind settings.
I would remove it from your suggestion, and seek an alternative method.

I tried using equalizerAPO with the driver but i lost SoundBlaster effects is there a way i can use the driver apps effects + EqualizerAPO?
Also can I use DTS:X with EqualizerAPO?

I use EqualizerAPO for Convolution with Impulse Response + HeSuVi ( BTW does DTS:X offer anything different than what implemented in HeSuVi?)

DTS:x ultra still doesn't work

In my case, first of all every UWP app package that we just installed will experience non-working / unusable (force close), for some reason (maybe license related?). It often happened like that in the prev version of the driver. This also includes the DTS app. The solution, I always do the executable on KGAConfig.exe (see on the first page). Once done, reboot the device (Windows 10 -> 1909-20H2). And as a result, everything worked (usable), using HDA panels. Hope it works on yours.

And what did you do with the KGAConfig.exe ? It only debug SoundBlaster normally, not the other apps

E-APO doesn't support composite, and it can only make 1 composite with another effect. If I enter for example DTS-SFX into APOTool, then add E-APO it will use existing apo (DTS-SFX).
Due to the composite limitation with E-APO, you can only have 1 other active APO (DTS, Dobly, Nahimic, etc) at a time with it

@tmac666, @Hearick

If you have time, you can try my latest stable, let me know if you get a different result, sometimes its simply just some speaker codes are missing from the drivers .inf file.

The yellow external speaker, or headphones, will only show on analogue, if missing, its not detecting analogue.

[Ferather]

Interesting, the PC I had an issue with the service was also an ALC892. Thanks for your feedback, I can replicate the issue using VB cable. If I find a solution I will inform Alan.
Its actually a bug with stereo specifically, with my test setup to reproduce the bug with VB cable, multichannel works and it detects speakers, but not in stereo.





Note ALC892 has I think 3 revisions, 2 with bugs. Latest revision ALC892 works as intended (based on friends PC).

thanks for your effort.

actually, i am using 5.1 analog speakers and not stereo...... and the DTSX Ultra doesn't work for me.

 

[Ferather]

You can trigger 5.1 with VAC, and set its output (recording) to your speakers. You will need to disable windows audio service to apply some settings, see my screenshots above.
I have attached the full version of the app, fully unlocked, although it might not be the latest version, it works perfectly.



----

Edit: Dont forget to 'config' VAC to 5.1 or 7.1 when finished, the below screenshot is not VAC, as I removed it.

====

Edit 2:

You might be able to use my HDMI-DP setup files to trigger multichannel and perhaps stereo to your ALC892. You will need the 'RTK APO Tool', and my DTS-Settings files.
Open the tool, then change the device to your speakers at the top, change to 'MMDevice Registry', and on the right select 'EP Registry'.

This will open regedit at the device, right click the primary key, select rename, then copy it. Edit the .reg files with the info.






Now double click the registry file, then restart Windows.

Yeah it works ! The only downside is the fact that we cant choose preset

 

[Ferather]

In multichannel mode it uses 1 master preset, the buttons and other features are auto configured as it says on the screen, all other features are for stereo (including selectable spatial modes).

I updated my post with an additional trial fix. If it does not work you can clear the changes you see in APO Tool (keys). Or backup the reg by exporting first.

----

For actual HDMI-DP, you will need to trigger speakers by selecting speakers (or headphones) then back.
