I need help please - I can't get either Dolby ATMOS ( DAX 3 ) nor Dolby Audio ( DAX2 ) to work on digital SPDIF output.
IT IS WORKING for internal speaker / headphone - but not for digital SPDIF output.

is there something I need to change in the default.xml ? ( I know were this file is for DAX3, not for DAX2 ).

also, don't know if it's related, but I don't got any "C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc " folder either DAX2 or DAX3 installed.

Use one Modified Driver, install other compatible with Sound Blaster of Creative Technology, It's my advice, you choose.
NOTE: The Windows 7 /8/8.1 isn't complatible with UWP services and UWP apps, only work with windows 10.

After trying your mod my realtek drivers seem broken, it doesnt matter which version I try to install, my notebook will always play from speakers and headphones at the same time, which is a huge problem. Do you have any idea what is causing this?

My notebook does detect when a headphone is being connected, DTS etc. switches to headphones, but somehow it doesnt switch off the speakers!

Soooo I have been reading this thread for a few hours now, and I am lost.

I have the Asus ROG strix x470 board w/ SupremeFX 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220A

I removed the realtek driver that I had, ran a registry cleaner for the audio drivers, and copied & pasted the .inf to WIN 64.

I then ran the setup for from: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6d0xu8wdnv57b/Realtek_HDA#mun1b2pc2fi8d
as that person seemed to have a similar ASUS setup

You're not supposed to run the installer, you have to update via device manager.

I cant find the OP link anywhere here. And the one provided by Diego Silva do not install under windows 10 since the driver is not signed.
Is there a option to get a better higher sound with Realtek onboard audio?
Unfortunately my mobo do not have any expansion slot so i cant use my Asus Xonar Xense audio card with my Senheiser headphone. Such a waste...

Where is DanielK when we need him :)

Same issue here, I've got ASUS ROG STRIX - I mini ITX mobo, no room for any additional sound cards. Would like to use this mod to unlock the latest audio formats using this config: Realtek Digital Output (SPIDF) - Onkyo AV Receiver - 7.1 Speakers
Anybody get this working?

YES, follow the guides & tips in this forum ( READ PREVIOUS POSTS !) - it works.
I got digital SPDIF out working on my Asus G751JT, I can output 5.1 using either DTSi or DLL ( former is better as per spec ) - but I think 5.1 is max for me due to my audio chip ( ALC668 ).
if your audio chip supports DIGITAL 7.1 output - these drivers should let you output 7.1 as well - WORST case - you might need to tweak them using FX Configurator that's comes with the APO driver.

Lastly, if you got Onkyo receiver - why don't you pass digital audio through HDMI ?
the bandwidth using HDMI is much larger ( i.e much HIGHER quality sound can be sent )

Hi! You can for my device. My device is ALC256 for Dell 7567 gaming. I liked up audio in my laptop, becouse the MaxAudio Pro is a bullshit.

if you plan in using HDMI - you don't need realtek driver since most probably you're output the HDMI from a graphics cards, and its drivers ( nvidia / AMD ) are the one supplying the audio - not realtek.
AFAIK, this is also true for on-board HDMI - i.e the driver that controls the audio to that HDMI is NOT the on-board audio chip, but other different driver.

If you disabled the signature of drivers, try Open the Setup.exe in root folder of Driver

if you plan in using HDMI - you don't need realtek driver since most probably you're output the HDMI from a graphics cards, and its drivers ( nvidia / AMD ) are the one supplying the audio - not realtek.
AFAIK, this is also true for on-board HDMI - i.e the driver that controls the audio to that HDMI is NOT the on-board audio chip, but other different driver.
Thank you, also had this doubt

So in that case I should get the latest supported sound formats (Dolby ATMOS, DTS-X, etc...) that are supported by the HDMI interface from the video card to the AV receiver. Correct statement?

don't know to answer that... I can guess it is mainly depends on your receiver capabilities, HDMI cable version ( there are old versions that don't support audio pass-through only video ) and driver & HW on the PC ( SEE HERE a table for NVIDIA - it's is the 1st google result of searching "nvidia hdmi dolby" ).

Lastly, in turns out that not everything is peachy with nvidia HDMI audio ( for gaming for example )... (read this thread HERE).
