Realtek Modded Audio Driver for Windows 10/11 - Only for HDAUDIO

[Hotobu]

I'm trying to get 5.1 sound by going directly from my motherboard's optical out to my receiver. Do I need to have the Realtek drivers in addition to your mod, or does it replace them. Right now my device manager looks like this.

Hey, try and go type in Chrome://flags in the top search bar of chrome and search and enable

WebRTC multi-channel capture audio processing.

Support in WebRTC for processing capture audio in multi channel without downmixing when running APM in the render process. – Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android
#enable-webrtc-capture-multi-channel-audio-processing

This should solve your issue after a restart of chrome, this the newest feature chrome implemented for non stereo users.


This one below doesn't work with the latest chrome
--disable-audio-output-resampler --try-supported-channel-layouts"

This is amazing, thank you. I have been having issues with Chrome using hude amounts of memory so I just installed CCleaner's Chromium browser and this kind of back end configuration is amazing. I will test out the sound tonight. Sometimes the sound through Chrome isn't too bad but varies with content on youtube.

I am very happy to say I finally got my system stable! I had to make a use account and do all the tweaks as admin and then sign back in as user. Sometime the HD manager crashes windows audio service but I am going to do a clean install soon so I am not sweating it. I have been making lots of work for myself using Foobar200 audio player to get best sound output. What audio players are other people using? FB2K was pretty daunting at first but it sounds great when dialed. I have DTS Interactive and Dolby running through ALC892 with Enhancesments tab OFF! No spatial sound. There is so much to learn about audio. Its the only thing keeping me sane in quarantine shelter era!

Thank you Alan!

So the sound plays in all the speakers now?
That's good.

Just note that my name isn't Alan.

Well my sound is output through the AAF Realtek Dolby/DTS interactive to a receiver that handles the signal so whether its from a player like Foobar or Chrome I presume it would be 5.1 regardless but I am no expert. It sounded great I am not 100% sure but another TPU user posted this 5.1 spotify link and its got some great stuff. Sounds phenomenal I just can't say for sure. Is there a way to see? I want to learn about how everything works together. I am pleasantly surprised at how good the Spotify web player sounds now.

Hello! Only today I tested this driver. Everything is super.
However, it was not without problems.
Motherboard "Gigabyte B450 AORUS Pro" with integrated sound card "Realtek ALC 1220-VB". Windows 10 (1903). Before installing, all drivers and software on the sound was removed.

When installing version 6.0.8924.1, Sound Blaster did not see the devices. After installing version 6.0.8911.1, everything worked without any problems.

@Alan Finote is this driver Windows 20H1 (2004) proof?

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...

 

[MasterBeiShen]

Has anyone noticed Sound Blaster Connect sometimes does not start with Windows? And when the app is manually opened, it takes AGES for the program to open. Feels like something could be wrong with it.

ENJOY !!!

I feel asthough I've followed all of these steps. Downloaded the newest Realtek drivers, updated the driver policy etc, and I still can't get 5.1 when connected to optical.

[nuitezero]

During the installation I uncheck the creative suite option and after its, I have no more sound, I have to uninstall and reinstall and I have to check one of the 2 options either the Blaster 720 or 320, is- this normal? thank you

 

[Lucelarius]

The previous message was premature (

Please tell me the order of the correct installation.
Should there be DTS / DDL support for devices via analog output (3.5mm)?

Currently installed Windows 10 (1909) and there is only a standard device with support for High Definition Audio. Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro motherboard with integrated Realtek ALC 1220-VB sound card.
Windows Update offers drivers version 6.0.8703.1.
The manufacturer’s website has the following list of drivers:

What have I to do? Download the last version in the first page (6.0.8924.1 for windows 7) and just install it or have I to unistall my version before to install everything?

Thank You

It is necessary to remove the previous version.

 

[Poliphilo]

It is necessary to remove the previous version.

So, from the Control Panel - "Program and features" I unistall "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver", reboot and then run "AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8924.1.exe"? What if, when I reboot the first time, windows starts automatically to install drivers?

This driver suite contains a digital signature, but I still recommend that you go to "Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Hardware -> Device installation settings and click No (The device may not work as intended). expected)".

I didi it and selected "No" and "Never install driver software from windows update". Then I uninstalled Realtek High definition Audio Driver.
Rebooted.
When be back in windows it automatically installed "High Definition Audio Driver" Indeed (I could not stop it). So, after that, I launched the AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8924.1.exe and then rebooted again.

Now the situation is: I don't hear anything, in the control panel I don't have the "Realtek digital audio control panel", if I launch X-FI MB 5 it opens but says that there is not any audio device (disable, not present, not supported, or unplugged...).
Also in the device manager "Realtek device" is missing and there is a problem with the "High Definition Audio Controller" as you can see here:

You can test the mod driver again, but be aware that you will see a page in the installer for a bus driver for SST (AAF HD Audio Enumerator Bus Driver) devices. CLEAR THIS OPTION and continue the installation.

Unistalled my realtek drivers.

Rebooted and launched the "AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8924.1.exe" setup. I leaved checked i the second page the "Creative installation" and "X-Fi", then (in the follow page) I unchecked the AAF Bus driver.

Audio is working.
I can't open "Realtek HD audio manager" (the folder in C:\program files\Realtek\Audio \HDA is empty)
X-FI MB 5 panel is empty and always says that it can found a device (disable, not present, not supported, or unplugged...).

So when we update to newer versions, should we always leave this option unchecked?

I will make some more changes, but this driver is more recommended for those who have Realtek SST devices. For this reason, in the next versions, this option will be automatically unchecked.

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?
