If you want to use or add additional enhancements to digital, like I do, but dont want Atmos, Sonic Studio etc, I complied an alternative UAD DCH driver based on Alan's mods, here.
I originally was using Alans official drivers, but got issues as mentioned by a few users, no offense to Alan but the workaround is just that, it doesn't FIX the issue.

ok im having issues in the past i just installed alans mod and worked a treat , now when i install it same as before on a clean install, i dont get 5.1 or 7.1 options in my realtek control panel all apps work fine though. I use audio jacks plugged into my motherboard for front , rear , side and a center/sub combo. Before i just unplugged the jack , and replugged it in and selected "Rear speaker". and so on , but now when i do it , i only get line-in as a option and the realtek panel is greayed out wont let me select anything apart from stereo. Can someon help me in geting this to work correctly please , as it seems output jack detection work's but won't let me select the speakers only a line-in option. @Alan Finotty
any help with my issue please guys

NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
DCH DRIVER VERSION UPDATED TO 6.0.9116.1

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.

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.

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

Did Alan's latest version work for you? I see you are using a few additional extensions (example, Nahimic), so my alternative probably wont serve your needs, its a base driver with DTS only.
You could try this which was a reply to ramm81 with a different issue but still related to jacks: realtek-dch-modded-audio-driver-for-windows-10.250915/post-4465358.

Another thing you could try is to install the version that worked, and copy 'RTKHDAUD.dat' from Windows/system32/, then replace it after you install the new version.

No it didnt let me pick any jacks and was stuck on stereo only. Really annoying as im only trying to get better sound as my motherboard comes with alc1150 with sbc 2 , which is a old software and would like a better version for better quality of sounds :( really would like some help. Cant locate RTKHDAUD in system32 folder. Tried ramm81's solution but didnt work for me unfortunatly

I'm going to take a look at Alans .inf files and see what the bug is. The last time I looked into it, it was the generic extension .inf file that has the bug in it.

Yes that's correct, the alternative driver uses a different method for the DTS system. Alans original driver with both decoders, uses the older patched Realtek APO (patcher doesn't work on newer APOs).
My alternative driver uses the DTS APO on Realtek, the DTS Interactive (DTS encoder) is built in as original .dll files, and is used as an endpoint FX, and latest Realtek APO.

I recently changed the driver further, allowing the Realtek APO to run in addition to the DTS system, and APO4 (DTS:X). APO4 is working but has restrictions.

The APO tool is view only, it cannot apply any options on the first page. These options are setup either directly inside the APO.dll, via RTKHDAUD.dat, or via settings in the drivers .inf file.

@Alan Finotty HDX_AllBrandExt_RTK_UAD.inf requires updating, its using an older registration system and [Digital.AddReg] has some potential mistakes.

this does not work for me whatever I do once I was able to use it with a help of a post back in mid 2020's but not able to find it again, it was something like changing a value like 8080 to 0000's etc in the Alan's tool.


Uninstalled it but now I cannot use my Equalizer and not even installing my notebooks own sound drivers won't bring it back :(

I tried uninstalling with the DDU as it can remove the realtek drivers too but nothing.

I just wanted to use dolby thing while playing games :(

My Sony 2.0 speakers are good but without a good tune-up with the EQ doesn't satisfy me at all :'(

My device is; HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0269&SUBSYS_15588703&REV_1002

Is the 5.1 SPDIF bug fixed, or do we still need to use 6.0.8996.2?

Ok so i did another fresh install of windows 10 and I cant get anything but 2 channels for some reason. Does anyone know of any fix for this? Never had this problem before. I didnt install the actual realtek driver just the driver that windows auto installs. I use the realtek tweak software and enabled a bunch of stuff like i did last time and that didnt seem to do a damn thing lmao.

Sometimes the alternative AAF driver fixes the problem, but first try disabling enhancements, It's a known issue, and I am sure Alan is looking into it.

I can't make it work :/ now I cannot access to the EQ too (neither in the sound settings or the realtek thing)

BTW; Alan should consider re-enabling the online driver lookup policy on the uninstaller. It's a bit annoying tbh.

@Azorath

People likely complained his drivers and-or plugins where talking to the internet, it send alarms for some people (try to check anyway).
Personally I program Linux STB's, and they do the same to get info, such as channel frequencies.

Which driver version are you using?

Have you tried searching it on the app to check if it is installed ?
