And how does one find out if they have an SST device? I have an onboard Realtek audio card that comes with my Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 motherboard. Should I leave this option unchecked?
This will be determined by the Hardware ID present in the driver installation INF file.

Alan, I have installed your latest driver 6.0.8924.1, only Realtek default effects with DDL/DST and Dolby Atmos.
DDL/DST on SPDIF is working, although seems quite low volume compared to the former PC (I used to have ALC 887 on my old computer, I replaced it wit Gigabyte Z390 Designware, with ALC 1220b.
The problem is no effect is working, also no volume slider has any influence (neither windows, win media player, or Films and TV).
Already tried the third spoiler from page 1.
Win 10, version 1909

Hi

I got it works :)

I used one of your older version close to my 6.0.8881.1 version installed, then I unistalled that and tried again your latest version. Now I have your AAF Optimus Sound driver, and X-FI MB5 working. The only thing strange is that the version of Realtek is again 6.08881.1...
Look at the picture here:

And now? I there any chances to use dolby atmos, THX or whatever else?

Hi, Alan! Thank you for amazing work. Unfortunately I ran into a problem with your package, I hope you can provide some help. I have the latest one from GitHub (AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8924.1). I completely removed all the sound related stuff from windows (Realtek driver, Realtek audio console, dolby access, sound blaster connect), then I installed your driver. It seems to install fine, I see it in device manager, I have the audio playing. When I try to change digital output default format to either DDL Live or DTS, I get the message "This format is not supported", although when I test DTS or Dolby Digital on Supported Formats page the audio is playing perfectly.
I have asrock phantom gaming 9 with ALC1220, Win10 1909.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello Alan, I'm brazillian to :D

I'm not able to install your mod application :(

I tried the latest version (AAF Optimus Sound 6.0.8924.1 (Signed)) and the version (AAF HD Audio Modded 6.0.8911.1 (Signed) (Bugfix)) and both did not work.

Version 6.0.8924.1 simply installs only SB 720º, Dolby Atmos, Realtek HDA (to change) and Nahimic 3, but the sound remains Realtek 6.0.8703.1 without modification :(

Version 6.0.8911.1 even installs the driver with names, but without DDL and DTSI, which I apply with Realtek HDA, and they appear, and the sound disappears, the drive signature disappears, and the SB 720 says no has connected board :(

My steps:

0. Creat Restore point windows
1. Shift Restart, disable the driver signature version
2. Install your .exe with windows update permisions (select all itens any less buss).
3. Restart system

He has a step by step, his layman with this and fearful, because the wind is warning of permanent damage.

My Mobo is a Gigabyte B360M AORUS GAMING 3 (rev. 1.0)
My codec is Realtek® ALC892 (High Definition Audio - 2/4 / 5.1 / 7.1-channel [multizone] - Support for S / PDIF Out)
Windows 10 Education v.1909 compilation 18363.815
Tks a lot ;)

There may still be some standard extension from Realtek present on your system preventing the correct installation and operation of this mod.

Hi, modding a driver requires hardware. Try to understand this simple subject, without a hardware we can't load or test modded drivers. If u donate an Asus Xonar card to Alan or me or anyone who is expert in this subject he can gladly make a mod for u. @antonkaz

in that case, LTakahashi has to use DriverStore Explorer (RAPR) to uninstall any Realtek extensions and other software components relating to Realtek before clean installing the modded driver.

Hello erpguy53, tks for the help.

I got it, removed it and did a clean installation, the last version didn't really work very well, the gray and black plugs were inverted (one turned line in and the other line out of another specification box - side and rear, I don't remember), and the orange (sub / center) didn't work when I turned off only the central box (mine broke).

But with the previous version (6.0.8911.1) it's working perfectly :rockout: (to work I installed without the bus from the last window that warns about intel cards change to hdaudio)

Tks Alan for the modded ;)

Alan,

Is there a similar mod made for the Creative Audio ZxR type of cards? That card has the older type of Creative SBX software (same functionality), had DDL and DTS Connect, but I don't have any of the other goodies that you have unlocked for the Realtek drivers.
I am not even sure if it is possible...


Hi Sonic , I was wondering the same as you , with SB ZxR do you know if is possible ?

An off-ish question.
I have X470 Taichi Ultimate, with integrated ALC 1220.
I am only using the digital out (nothing on the analogue ports), to feed my Essence STU, via optical cable. So strictly stereo, on my mackie studio monitors, or hd598.

Is this a case of use, where sound drivers matter? I mean is it worth from any aspect to upgrade from windows built in sound driver, to something realtek, or this modded package?

You can try this mod, but you must select the desired enhancements on the Tasks page of the installer, and if your focus is only to enjoy the optical output, you also have the option to select only the patch that will activate Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive, that after installing this mod, will be available on digital outputs.

In your case, I would recommend not use any mods. Especially not DTS interactive/DDL, as the Essence STU does not support that.
Your device is of so high quality that most mods might cause undue distortion. At best, I can recommend you apply Dolby Atmos, to get surround effects on your headphones.

Music/YouTube videos are only stereo. The only way you get 5.1 is Netflix 5.1 shows and movies like The office, or download a 5.1 tv show episode.
