Realtek USB Audio - S/PDIF optical to 5.1 :(

[erpguy53]

Now all the Z590 MBs has this codec

not necessarily true, alimdwb.
a few Z590 mobos from ASUS like this one and this one use different Realtek ALC codec chips like ALC1200 and not the ALC4082 chipset like what your specific Z590 Asus Maximus XIII board is using

edit - recently looked at this datasheet of Z590 boards from ASUS on their web site and only the ROG STRIX Z590 and ROG Maximus XIII Z590 series of gaming boards do use ALC408x chipsets while the PRIME and TUF GAMING Z590 series of boards use either ALC1200A or ALC897

Yeh I just noticed that
Only the premium mobos of Asus using this codec chipset.

we will see what’s happens, the motherboard is so adorable, it has a lot of options and features, the 5.1CH is not my big concern, I just wishing if there is something to do, but if not, there is other alternatives like HDMI audio splitter/extractor or aftermarket Sound Cards like Creative and other high performance brands etc.

Just to report in, I found a preset for Realtek USB and DTS:X, so yes it can be done, hopefully the same for DTS Interactive (which is the one you are looking for).
If you give me a link to your original Realtek USB drivers, I MIGHT be able to try some things, but I am not sure at this time.

I will mention you there again

yeh hope there is some solution
I will support you

Yes I partly remember but couldn't fully remember, thank you.

Here's GIGABYTE version, probably very similar: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Driver/mb_driver_629_realtekusb_6.3.9600.2277.zip

 

[Ferather]

Got both thanks guys. Please be aware I don't have Realtek USB devices to test on, all will be beta. Take your time and make backups in order to restore.

I will post here, also note this is a side project, not a main project for me.

 

[alimdwb]

Any time you need to test just tell me i will connect you via TV

 

[Ferather]

The gigabyte one is more up-to-date, I will start with this one.

 

[alimdwb]

Me too there is newer ver
I will upload it later

 

[Ferather]

The gigabyte one has DTS APO4 in it (DTS:X). Apparently it just needs unlocking.

I should have sometime working in a few days, thanks for the last one, that confirms DTS:X on USB.

DTS DCH USB 2B

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

Beta (untested): Make a restore point or other backup first. The driver is signed.

Added: DTS APO4 + DTS Interactive.[/URL]

 

[Z962LYB1UDG]

Can you walk me through what is happening in the install process? What does importing "signed.pfx" to the Root Certificate Store accomplish?

 

[Ferather]

Driver signing, code signing. It validates the codes used in the driver, as part of the Windows driver system.



Signing a Driver for Public Release < Windows docs

====

If I managed to code it all properly without the Realtek USB device, and the preset works, you should unlock DTS:X, DTS:X Ultra and DTS Interactive.
The Ultra .inf is the the apps folder, the offline apps are here, DTS Interactive may not show as the default format.

The offline Sound Unbound should self license with the provided preset. Feedback required.

A few notes:

I wasn't able to fully purge all drivers, I deleted all the Realtek Drivers using "Driver Store Explorer" but it looks like it was still loading a default "Realtek USB 2.0" driver published by Microsoft.

In any case, I manually "updated" that driver to RTKUSB.inf using the "Have Disk" method and was prompted for reboot.

I then installed the dtsapo4xultrahsa.inf from APPS folder and was then able to install the RealtekAudioControl app.

All my audio devices are working as before, (Speakers, Headphones, Digital Output) but I still don't have 5.1 outputs over digital, only 2.0.

Here are errors I get when I try to install the DTS apps:

App installation failed with error message: Windows cannot install package DTSInc.DTSXUltra_1.10.1.0_x64__t5j2fzbtdg37r because this package depends on a device driver that could not be found. One of the following device drivers must be installed: {[DTS-dtsapo4xultrahsa.inf, 1.7.0.0, 2020-01-01]} (0x80073cfd)

 

[Ferather]

You did not install the extension (the other .inf in Win10), and you can ignore the install_uwp, use the other one.

----

You can also try the this guide, but with the USB driver.

 

[Z962LYB1UDG]

I did install the INF, but where would I have loaded it in Device Manager? There's only one device and I already forced it to RTKUSB.inf

 

[Ferather]

Can you post your device ID, type system into Windows (near start), components > sound device.

 

[Z962LYB1UDG]

 

[Ferather]

Ok thanks, I will fix in about 10 minutes. https://www.mediafire.com/file/zv0wluj17mh1b8w/DTS_DCH_USB_2B.7z

Run pnputil (in the guide post above) to clean old drivers, or restore if you made one.

 

[alimdwb]

I only tried to delete the updated driver
automatically it will restore the original driver Audio USB 2.0
then I update the driver using WIN10 folder

and that's it.
no audio

 

[Z962LYB1UDG]

Are you choosing the driver using Update Driver / Browse My Computer For Drivers / Let Me Pick / Have Disk workflow?

 

[alimdwb]

Are you choosing the driver using Update Driver / Browse My Computer For Drivers / Let Me Pick / Have Disk workflow?

yes but after uninstalling and delete Realtek USB driver
Update driver > Browse > choosing WIN10 > OK
after Update Driver / Browse My Computer For Drivers / Let Me Pick / Have Disk

but after, will be no audio
no speakers no S/PIDF
