%windir%\System32\DTS\PC\APO4x\ look for .xml, copy it to desktop, edit it, copy back.

example: <control name="MFX:Eagle-MBHL Output Gain" public="true">0</control>

Restart the APO4 service.

Guys can anyone provide settings alan's driver for best audio :)
Sure, but you need to explain what motherboard and related audio output you have. Information? How do we know what setting you need?

So the irony is strong here but I can't use Foobar2000 now that the Windows Audio Device Graph Isolationn CPU spikes have started. Its unplayable. I have seen posts with people having this issue going 6 years so I dunno. Hoping someone knows here.

..thank you!,My msi x570 is hooked into my 6th optical input (took 15 years to filll those ports lol). i workeed with amazing developers throughout my career,you worked hard! ps- my old but amazing STR-K8509 750W DTS / 5.1 receiver identifies games coded in Atmos as natural 5.1..that says it all. Unbound doesnt tick all the boxes, but Atmos at least can give the headset folks a fuller sound close to real 5.1, go4it

NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
DCH DRIVER VERSION UPDATED TO 6.0.9147.1
MORE DETAILS IN GITHUB

WARNING: There is also an update for Nahimic on the Microsoft Store to version 1.5.4.0, but it is very likely that once installed, your enhancement will stop working.

ATTENTION 1: 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.

ATTENTION 2: If you want to use DTS in conjunction with Creative Sound Blaster, choose DTS: X Ultra. The reason: I did intensive tests on my PC, combining each one with each other and found that the control services of Creative Sound Blaster Connect and DTS HeadphoneX v1 cannot work together, they conflict with each other, that is, if both services are stopped and you start Creative UWP Service first and manually and then start DTSAPO3Service, the latter will be starting and stopping all the time, like a vicious cycle. Now, if both services are stopped and you first start the DTSAPO3Service manually and then start the Creative UWP Service, the latter will not even start.

RECOMMENDATION:
Before installing this modified driver, be sure to remove any and all residues from previous Realtek audio drivers or even if there are residues from previous versions of my mods. For this you will need the DriverStoreExplorer (by @lostindark). Remove any drivers whose vendor is "Realtek", "Dolby", "DTS", "Creative" or "Alan Finotty" in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers, Extensions and Software Components categories, if they persist.

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

If Dolby Atmos again insists not to install, here are the packages for installation.

newer versions works by me, i can select 5.1 or 7.1 now.
Hello. Choose something that maybe you can, but you don't have sound from 7 virtual speakers when checking, but only from two? I put a new version of Atmos does not work, as well as 7 virtual speakers. Rolled back to AAFAudioPackDCH-6.0.9137.1 (for the very first version) - everything works. @alan, @Ferather-explain why this happens, what prevents all 7 columns from working in different versions ?

Still not working in AAF 6.0.9147.1? I couldn't find a direct problem when I read through AAF files (previous version).

Edit: Should be fixed, since it looks like a HAP config issue (previously).

Personally, in the AAF version 6.0.9147.1, only two speakers work, the others are silent. Rolled back to the previous version.

Hi Alan, you wrote some last Days ago about your integrated Sound Unbound App in Cause of Updates. How should I exactly do?

@Zonder, noted, I can see Alan is adding support for HAP, It must be causing a problem. :(
@Metal-Tom, disable store updates, and manually update your apps.

Problems with AAF DCH Optimus Sound 6.0.9147.1 version Dolby Atmos not working In the task manager, you can see a constant load of "Troubleshooting" after installing AAF DCH Optimus Sound 6.0.9147.1. Deleted, installed AAF DCH Optimus Sound 6.0.9132.1, works stably. Alan Finotty. My personal suggestion. Remove DTS HeadphoneX v1, DTS: X Ultra, DTS Sound Unbound - leave the rest as it was before.

No offense to Alan, but I notice he keeps adding things without making sure everything is working solid stable, even the version you mentioned probably has the SPDIF issues.
Even I make mistakes, but I cant stand broken things, especially when they don't strictly get addressed. Maybe it's best to make a stable main and then betas?
