The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

[hichhamiose]

Yes DTS spatial will disable if Windows spatial is turned off. The only thing I can think of is try powering off your PC for 10 minutes, by that I mean shutdown + wall switch off.
I have had plenty of weird Windows issues that magically go away if you fully power down. You can get residual data that reloads, its a total nightmare.

An example, for some reason I can't remember Windows reset the HDA bus, with a new ID. After a full disc restore, the same happened (new bus).
When I did the restore again, but then powered off the machine for 10 minutes, then booted, no new bus, same as restore.

Note, my pagefile is on another drive, and I always wipe it when I restore my Windows partition.

Interesting is that shutdown + achieved by SHIFT+ Power off? Honestly I'm so like noob in all of windows, don't understand plenty of stuff I'll give all the terms you mentioned a look so I can understand thanks again for replying!

No just an ordinary shutdown, then unplug it, or turn it off at the wall so it has no power and residual data is lost.
Not saying it will fix the problem, just that I have had issues that persist until full shutdown.

Another one I have heard of, is to go into bios and disable onboard sound, boot, shutdown, re-enable.

I have also had an issue with a fresh Windows install, and my DTS DCH driver, sounds like too much spatial.
The above fixes it, however if I re-install, I don't get the issue at all, only when fresh.

DTS:X, will configure the spatial APO (built in Windows), which is why audio quality increases just by installing it.
My best guess is for some reason Windows misbehaves if the previous driver was Microsoft.

----

Multiple times I have seen people ignore restart requests by drivers and software, not good.
Windows is not Linux, you definitely need to shutdown (restart), if told to.

The boot process for my Asus mobo is different to the boot process for a restart.
A shutdown boot there is a delay period with blank screen, restart none.

Oh yeah didn't read well it's almost off the wall 3 to 4 times a week since some days I don't use the desktop at all, did managed to disable most off them only kept dolby or sometimes dts,
As you said all I wanted to relisten to the original sound I had but that dts improves sound even not having it enabled

Well as mentioned I am not using analogue, I am using digital SPDIF. I don't use the spatial options in Windows (they are stereo only, I am using multichannel).
I also don't install the DTS:X app, again because the selectable modes are for stereo, in multichannel mode its configured automatically.

If I was to use analogue and stereo, I would use just DTS and Realtek (DTS DCH), and change DTS modes if needed.
I would not enable any spatial modes in Windows still, as the extra processing adds a small delay.

Even without Windows spatial in use, I still get a higher audio quality, without using any apps whatsoever, due to the DTS preset I made.
It will still configure the spatial APO, but essentially in DSP mode, where it restores audio a bit, before FX processing.


I don't even register the extra Realtek file to unlock all features with the Realtek app, as again its mostly all stereo.

Pressing the off button in the DTS:X app, with my preset, in stereo mode, will turn off all DTS FX points.

trying to install the latest version from a updated post from alenfox this shows up im so confused

 

[lca88]

I've been looking for days and I can't find a way to activate these options that come in the generic Windows driver, without limiting the sample rate, in the advanced bar.
Any way to add this to my Dell driver through Windows?

Can we necro this thread?

I just reinstalled windows (10) for a very long time now and just found out that my Creative X-Fi MB3 won't activate anymore.

So, do you guys have any recommendations for replacement? Paid or modded versions are fine with me.

Thanks!

As of 2025, does the trick still work?

For Those who have SPDIF and HDMI device please Download and install the second archive - Dj Urko - realtek_hda_8090_Dolby_Harman_SRS_PCEE4viaSPDIF&HDMI.zip it provide all effects in the speaker and only dolby home theatre v4 and dolby digital plus over SPDIF and HDMI

Does this works when using Nvidia hdmi output to soundbar? I want Dts or dolby for 7.1 system

I tried but dolby and dts apps doesn't seem to detect the driver at all the apps get installed but not enabled when i open them.

Ofc i did unsigned driver install on a clean window after deleting nvidia sound driver and any realtek or sound driver installed.

Thanks for help or feedback if anyone tried before

PC -> hdmi soundbar 7.1 via gtx 1080.

Before i had dolby access from MS store working but no dolby setting just the effect of Atmos.

I have an issue with my dell g5 se 5505, when i plug in my OneOdio A71D headset TRRS into the headphone jack, it doesn't output to the jack, but detects it plugged in the Realtek console. I got no mic from the headset or audio at all. May you advise? I installed the Realtek UHD Audio Driver DD RC4 & followed the directions, still no dice. Thanks

*Update* it's all good, now just went into the bios with my modded bios and activated some Azalia settings, all is well.
