Try RealtekDriver_2019_02_25.exe @Màthair from my link that I posted a page earlier :)

It contains all effects, look:

6.0.1.8639
REALTEK EFFECTS
DOLBY HOME THEATER v4
DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS HOME THEATER
DTS INTERACTIVE IN S/PDIF
TURTLE BEACH EFFECTS WITH DTS HEADPHONE:X CUSTOM
DOLBY ATMOS
NAHIMIC 3
DTS ULTRAPC II
DTS CONNECT
ASUS HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER
SAMSUNG SOUNDALIVE 3D

NO CREATIVE EFFECTS (MBAPO)
NO CREATIVE CHAINING (MBWRP)
It has an issue when in 7.1 the sound. If sound blaster 720 was supported this issue would have been easily resolved.

Anyone who uses Windows 7 x64 bits, and who wants to test a driver for the new sound blaster command ?; I need someone to do some tests with the SBCommand controllers and console installed in your S.O. Windows 7

I will also provide you with the software installers for the SBCommand integrated.

I have 2 controllers that I have modified from other facts for the SBX 720, and I need to know if any of the 2 created serves to operate the SB Command.

How exactly is everyone else getting this to work? I have the Asus Prime 390-A and none of these unlocked drivers I've tried have worked. They seem to install fine, but I have no option to configure speakers and still only 2 show up when connected optical. If I do the sound test even though DTS is selected it still only does the test sound through the F + L speakers.

Is there something I'm missing?

TBH I feel like I was ripped off as the manufactures are all misleading us, my Z97-A motherboard didn't have an issue and 5.1 worked no problem with default drivers. I shouldn't even need to do this in the first place. Are all mobos with onboard doing this? I had no idea until I noticed 5.1 didn't work and googled that this is a thing these days.

Sporadik, you may be ok. I installed the drivers on a Gigabyte Aorus X370 (ALC1220) and have the same results as you, but games are definitely outputting 5.1 sound when I select both DTS and DD.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'll do some testing.

I tried a bunch of games and no 5.1 only stereo with optical connection

You had your default format set to DTS or DDL, yes?

RealtekDriverSBCSADS1SZVZ are the best driver from Alan Finote who I have tested so far, but my SBZ card are still better then my ALC1220 codec.

Yes I have it set to DTS 5.1

I don't know much about this other than I installed it and it worked, so someone above my pay grade will have to help you if they can.

Hi guys. I've been using a ASRock Z97 Extreme4 board with ALC1150 and it worked like a charm because it has DTS Connect license. I also used a hacked version and DD Live worked very well too.

Now, I've bought and Z570 Extreme4 that has ALC1220 and also the DTS Connect license. I need it because my Home Theater only has optical in option. Well, I tested the ASRock suggested audio driver and it doesn't show DTS Interactive 5.1 option to select as I used in previous motherboard. I noticed that with Windows default video player a video file can separete 5.1 channels but if I uses Media Player Classic only 2 channels works. I tested games and also only 2 channels works.

I installed my hacked driver and it shows DTS Connect 5.1 and DD Live 5.1 as should be but when I test a game only two channels works. I donwloaded Alan driver and the same thing happens. I noticed that when I open a game the Home Theater shows DTS 3/2.1 (that's the correct way that it display something when uses 5.1 contect). Even with hacked driver it shows DD 3/2.1. But the thing is that only 2 channels really work.

I'm frustrated becaus I've been using my Z97 without issues and now with a motherboard with DTS Connect licensed I can't use regular drivers or even hacked driver that works.

Same I had no issues on my previous z97 board and didn't require modded drivers for it.

You can check your Realtek ALCXXXX capabilities with the following tool, but you cannot select capabilities you want. It show more capabilities than Realtek HDA Test utility.

Alan. I'm also from Rio =)

Can you explain to me why, even my ASRock X570 Extreme4 having DTS Connect out of the box can't send 5.1 channels to my home theater that only has optical S/PDIF input? As I said in previous post, it has been working like a charm in my formar Z97 Extreme4 board that has DTS Connect too.

Obrigadão cara.

@Alan Finote Thanks for the new release. I'm using the ALC892 audio codec. I don't have any of the issues some of the other people who tried the new version has.

My issue is that the audio works fine but randomly goes very loud, something is off about the dynamic range so even if the turn the volume down on the amplifier it still has spikesof loudness.

Hi Alan, I got into some problems and have some questions.

1.
My mic is working strangely where it, for a bit, works then starts sounding robotic and ultimately starts making high pitch noises.
Already reinstalled multiple times always having the same problem.
And when it is working, the sound that comes out is a lot lower than it was before installing.

2.
I don't know if it supposed to be like this but I have 2 controllers installed (both have the same problem I said above)
129744


3.
The realtek app (don't know how to call it) where it had Asus "skin" looked a lot nicer. Is it possible to keep that skin?

4.
Can you make so that when uninstalling (via control panel), all the apps that were installed (Nahimic, Sound Blaster Connect and Dolby Audio Premium are the only ones installed right?) are uninstalled as well?


I'm going back to the default controller and uninstalling all the things but really wanted to make it work.

Thanks in advance,
João Roda

Jimmy9303 thank you for the answer. Unfortunately, I do not know which file in this folder is the fix I want.
My problem, there is no sound in the back pair and the center speaker in 5.1 mode. (ALC88B / ALC887). Please help. Thank you.
