[SOLVED] Windows 10 Realtek 'Speaker Fill' not working

[Kursah]

Peace will not do what he needs it todo which is copy and re-map channels

Shame because it covers the other bases for EQ tuning and channel tuning pretty well for a simple lightweight UI imo. Do you stick primarily to line editing rather than a UI?

Hopefully you can get the blend to work correctly for him, I haven't had to mess with that before for anyone. Seems like an interesting solution should it work properly.

I would rather have a gui but the peace devs are lazy
my problem is I don't have a 5.1 over RCA/3.5mm setup to test with I use my headphones 100% of the time

What's the point of posting that in this thread? I see no mention of my issue in there.

Edit: Oh, I see...

•We have fixed several issues with audio – including issues specific affecting Realtek audio devices.

So when are those fixes going to be pushed to the public? Any confirmation it takes care of the "Speaker Fill" issue specifically?

Edit: Google is not enlightening me.

because he found it on google and its not relevant anyway the issue that's being referred too is the audio suddenly cutting or clicking and popping on older realtek chips

Found a solution.

#1: Close Nehimic (setup does not auto-close it) and uninstall if it is installed.

#2: Uninstall Realtek drivers. Restart computer when prompted. When your computer comes back up, Realtek will be running off of Microsoft's generic HD Audio driver.

#3: Follow the directions here to prohibit Windows Update from reinstalling the Realtek driver.

#4: Open "Sounds" then "Playback Devices," select the device from the list and click on "Configure." Follow the prompts.

#5: Right click on the device and select "Properties," then "Enhancements," then check "Speaker Fill" and apply. If you do not see "Speaker Fill," repeat step #4 and make sure to pick a choice that has more than two speakers. "Apply" the changes.

#6: Start playing audio. You will have to restart the program if it was running in order for the change to take effect. Your stereo music should now be playing as Stereo Surround!

Thats a poor solution showing realtek is crap. Some people use AMD drivers for their realtek too. As spec and api wise, they are clones.

Realtek didn't read through sound layer changes. And audio api has changed a bit judging from documents available on technet.

Funny enough those are the reasons why some cards did not fuction at all during certain windows snapshots.

I am still continuing the insider program, there are still work done with the whole kernel.

Main area around DPC latency... Best benches are SATA3 latency on on same driver and drive. It is halved...

I had a similar issue.
I have a Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 speaker system and the rear speakers just wouldn't work. Youtube, itunes, didn't matter. But in the sound settings when you test each speaker they worked.
My motherboard is ASUS M5A99FX PRO 2.0 and I'm using onboard sound card with drivers version 6.0.1.7541 from asus website.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro.

After many hours of frustration I found out that if I enable a sound effect such as "generic" in the Realtek Audio Manager than the rear speakers start working!

By the way the Realtek AudioManager only allows for 5.1 and 7.1 no 6.1, so I have to use 7.1 and uncheck "side pair".

Depends on what speaker setup you are running.
Relatek is a little bit tricky to setup.
Groove is working for me flawlessly and I use my own speaker built system.
A 2.1 with an amp works just fine for me.
Did you redirect your audio outputs? Because you have to properly set up a 5.1 on a board.
Check if your pins are properly attached, and reconfigure in driver.
I bet there is a guide to doing it on YouTube or on the Web.
Just search a little and you will find your solution.
Groove is not the problem, I think you haven't setup your 5.1 system properly to play music.
Try bs, wmp and winamp and see if you get the same results.

Edit: A 5.1 can be used to watch movies on players with proper codes to run 5.1 audio setup. Seeing as my 5.1 at home had an amp running, it is more easy to run it on everything.
I have a suggestion.
Can you reconfigure to run both rear and front on jack redirect as front out and rear out, and see what result you get. I think maybe it will work.

 

[thankyouonemoar]

yea you got it sorry its 1am here ... you can omit the low pass if you don't need it or if your sub has a crossover variables in db so 0.3 would be 0.03dB of the total gain on that channel which is why I said use with caution
I posted on the SF board I am sure somebody will sort it
https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/discussion/general/thread/969605d3/
what Intended todo was blend the center channel into M and and mix that with the total signal sounds more natural that way
tired time to go sleepy

Holy crap thank you dude. If you had a donation page up on a website somewhere I would give you $10. You saved me from having to take my speakers back, this finally let my rear speakers work. I had tried all types of settings in the "enhancements" tab and remapping audio jacks with regedit and everything. The only thing I hadn't tried doing yet was installing those hacked realtek drivers but I doubt that would have worked anyway. So thank you for the info on this program very much.

FYI, reinstalling Windows broke Speaker Fill about two months ago. I contacted MSI over that period and they ultimately told me that MSI does not allow the Speaker Fill feature on my motherboard. This is why checking the box does nothing.

That said, I believe the Windows 10 Anniversary Update fixed a problem in the generic drivers where Speaker Fill being enabled would reduce the volume 25-50% of all the speakers. I am now back to using Windows 10's generic driver with Speaker Fill enabled and it is working great.
