I am sure you seem excited to share but please limit your replies to one main post by editing it back to whatever you wanted to add and don't go spamming replies over replies. Either use Messaging to reply or Keep all things in one post as Alan does and I recommend you create a separate thread.

I tested the 6.0.8907.1 version and 6.0.8911.1, working well but the Realtek Semicondutor Panel don't open, I run manually but nothing happens
Thank you Allan for the good work, I was happy to see the evolution of the installer, I've been here since the beginning :)
I actually have the same problem, nevertheless the sound still work. I read that its because of the version of the driver used. @Alan Finote which realtek driver version used on the 6.0.8911.1 ?

Sure.
Install realtek_driver_2019_03.exe
Disable driver signature mode in windows.
Only this Realtek Driver is compatible with 5.1 and 7.1 , or exists more any mod compatible with Surround Speakers?
Me too, I preffer much more Driver Realtek compatible with Surround Speakers than Stereo.
Thanks

Yes it is, and also it's way too old of sound enhancer technology. It just doesn't really work properly for the surround sound speakers.

Hello everyone I am new and just started getting into the hifi world.
I have a Realtek ALC662 chip, what do you recommend me to install?
(I am using headphones)

Thanks in advance

EDIT: when I tried the standard installation, dolby atmos and nahimic said "no headphones detected" although windows recognized them properly

So I installed the whole entire pack from the github (latest version). Everything installed, I see the dolby atmos, nahimic, and dolby DTS in my realtek hd manager supreme FX.

BUT, my actual sound driver (if I go to the realtek hd audio in device management) it is still on version 6.0.1.8419

Not sure why it didn't update to the latest driver Alan has modded.

Also, None of the effects are working on Sonic Studio, or nahimic, or anywhere else for that matter. I'm using headphones, I tried speakers and still no luck. Effects weren't working prior to installing this modded driver. [I tried the Realtek Utility Tweak guide on the OP, no luck]

My motherboard is Asus maximus ix hero


Pleaasseeee help i'm going insane trying to fix this.


EDIT: I Grabbed a newer version of Realtek Supreme FX Audio Driver from a newer motherboard and installed that drivers sonic studio and the sonic studio effects do not work still as well as nahimic. However, the SupremeFX Realtek Audio Manager effects do work. thats about it.

I installed version 8746.1. Should I install the realtek driver that AAF is on?

Good day, my question can be made so that the driver is defined as msi and not as a gigabyte?

Try installing it in offline mode (no internet connection) and turn on the connection once you restarted your computer.

your ALC662 doesn't support Dolby Atmos or Nahimic you're better of just sticking to the standard Realtek drivers or buy a modern sound card discrete or USB based is upto you

Hi, I sort of figured out how to change the classic sound manager to a branded msi?

Hello everyone, hello Alan,
First of all, thank you for your effort and the great work that you're doing. I have too struggled with not being able to get Dolby Digital and DTS over Realtek sound card on Windows 10. I have somehow managed to get it with these drivers, but maybe you can help me with some details.

Hardware: Gigabyte Aorus Gaming Z390 WIFI https://www.gigabyte.com/hr/Motherboard/Z390-I-AORUS-PRO-WIFI-rev-10#kf

First, what I have tried:
1. Disconnect LAN cable, reinstall Windows 10 (tried both 1903, 1909 and 2004), install AAF HD Audio Modded version 6.0.8911.1 while there are no other Realtek audio drivers - the driver gets installed successfully, and I can see AAF HD Audio Modded device in Device Manager. However, on next Windows update, it gets written over with Microsoft Realtek driver from May 2019. So it will work, but only if I disable driver download - didn't find another solution here.
2. Reinstall Windows 10 with attached LAN cable, Windows downloads Realtek drivers from May 2019. I install AAF HD Audio Modded 6.0.8911.1, but the device under Device Manager still says Realtek Audio, and shows MS driver version. In Control Panel - Sound - Realtek Digital Output, I don't get additional tabs for Dolby, but I can pick Dolby Digital and DTS from drop-down menu with channel selection, and the 5.1 sound works on my Yamaha receiver. But as I said, there are no extra tabs available, and the Gigabyte Audio Control Panel doesn't recognize DTS and Dolby Digital options under channel selection.
3. Reinstall Windows 10 with attached LAN cable, Windows downloads Realtek drivers from May 2019. I manually install Realtek drivers from Gigabyte page (6.0.8854.1), and after that I install AAF HD Audio Modded 6.0.8911.1. The device name in Device Manager doesn't change to AAF HD Audio Modded device, it still shows Realtek Audio, and shows Realtek driver version. The rest is same as in 2. - no additional tabs in Sound control panel for Realtek Digital Output, but I get Dolby Digital and DTS channels in drop-down menu, and 5.1 sound works on my Yamaha receiver.

Am I missing some step, doing something wrong, that my device doesn't change to AAF HD Audio Modded in Device Manager after AAF HD Audio Modded driver installation? Because in one of my experiments, I managed to get the device to be called like this in Device Manager (like in case explained under 1. up there), but I am not sure how I got it, but then I got additional tabs in Sound Control Panel for AAF HD Audio Modded Digital Device. I cannot recreate this case, I can usually only get Realtek(R) Audio under Sound, video and game controllers, and Digital S/PDIF Out (Realtek (R)Audio) under Audio inputs and outputs in Device Manager.

I tried numerous times to remove and reinstall AAF HD Audio Modded driver, I tried removing Realtek(R) Audio with and without deleting drivers when uninstalling. I just can't find a reliable way to recreate a case where I have AAF HD Audio Modded device in Device Manager, which seems to work the best.

Any help is appreciated.

I cannot get DTS to run or install anymore. How do I check reg or the sound devices config? It shows two instances of your drivers one at top of device manager. Please help i have been trying to get in it back all week. I could have messed things up with the Utility. I suspect its not real my hardware correctly.

Well, I was able to solve this by replacing the HDA folder with one from a previous original driver, try this. =)

With what audio codec chip do you have

and guys/gals before you start asking questions in these forums it is advisable to fill out the System Specs part of your profile so that we know what hardware you're running just so we don't have to keep asking what hardware are you running all the damn time thankyou
