I'm likely an idiot who has missed something obvious, but every time I try to use your installer it never gets passed "Current Task: Stopping Windows Audio Service...". It hangs there forever. Any suggestions?
Try to stop the service manually.
1. Win+X
2. Run
3. Enter "Ssrvices.msc".
4. Search for Windows Audio. Right-click the service and click "Stop".

Thanks! That worked for me. I finally have glorious 5.1 surround after all these years of thinking I already did haha! Realtek audio manager still doesn't work so I can't really configure it, but it still sounds WAY better than it did before. Thanks everyone.

OP... Thanks... Not that I'm needing this mod because I'm driving a coax S/PDiF from my asus p5q pro (ALC1200) to my Denon AVR-X1300W in 5.1.2 speakers setup.
However I want to control the sound from my PC an not from my receiver.
This setup realtek GUI remember me the "Unlocked Dolby digital live and DTS interactive form @2bad that I'm using since the beginning.

But as you can see the default is "RCA" and not "SPDIF" also my rear speakers aren't as loud as supposed to be... However there is good enhancement across the spectrum.

Wonder to know if i chose the right mod for my set up... thanks...

The Creative Panel says "device is not recognized".
This is what Audio Device detects.
Any ideas?

Hi, I have installed the modified driver on my laptop Lenovo Legion Y530.
When i try to open Dolby Atmos I keep getting a message that says "This app ins't compatible with your device."
I have tried to reinstall the driver but its still the same.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Is there a working Appx for DTS sound unbound?

Also how is it possible to add multiple properties tab in the Audio properties? I know how to add one using the FX Configurator but I wonder how Alan put many Tabs in the properties.

I installed the latest version here on my Dell G3 3579 with ALC236, only Nahimic worked but Waves MaxxAudio came back to life here, nothing to complain.
I'm glad that MaxxAudio came back because this program manages the combojack to know when it's a headset and when it's only speakers.

Hi! I have a problem. I used this mod for almost 6 months, and I wanted to update the whole driver/software, so I deleted the old one,restarted, and installed the latest (6.0.8911.1) but now I don't get any sound after the 2nd restart. I've left everything on default in the installer, but I installed only the Nahimic controller (I used to this one). It shows up as AAF Analog out (or something like that) in the audio devices , so it looks like it works, but I don't get any sound.(just only on my monitors built in speakers through HDMI if i switch to it)

I faced the same problem with my notebook. It's installed it, but no sound. Neither on the built in speakers nor when I use the headphone jack.. But it detects when I plug one in the jack.

My pc is an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 (Realtek ALC221) and I use the 3.5mm jack on the back of the pc. My notebook is a Surface Book 2. Both of them used to work with older (3-6 month old ones) versions. Did I miss something? (I used earlier versions which didn't have the asio driver, or the realtek utility)

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor english.

DOWNLOAD MY DRIVERS FROM HERE:
...

Alan, I have installed your drivers and I am missing the front sockets.
When I use my original drivers, the front of the computer socket has sensing for the headphones. The rear has speakers connected to it. So I can switch between the two in the Windows 10 selection (taskbar speaker).
With your modded drivers, that option is gone, I only have output from the rear of the computer, not from front.
Also, in the front I had plugged in a microphone that now is not sensed anymore.

Any solution to activate the front jacks?

When I use the "Realtek" driver, the front microphone and line out re-appear, with autosensing.
The Intel driver exposed the rear and front separated in Windows Volume, no autosensing.

Anyone with analog output got the audio effects to work with the latest driver? I've followed the instructions on the first page and checked only the drvctrl40 where the RunningOnWindows8point1 is located but absolutely none of the effects, from the Dolby atmos to soundblaster and the realtek are working. The old Dolby only effects (6.0.8835.1) driver that I was using worked perfectly though.

Edit: To anyone who gets the same problem, make sure to select the default apo and not the one with ddl and dtsi.

What's with the continuous huge pictures of your desktop every page multiple times, H4cziLLa? It's incredibly distracting and hard to scroll through the pages where you just spammed like a psycho.

1º - Uninstall my mod;
2nd - In its third image, there is "Realtek High Definition Audio". Uninstall it;
3rd - Open Windows Explorer, browse to "%systemroot%\System32\drivers", delete the file "rtkhdaud.dat" and restart your computer.

Then try to install the mod again.
