Go to the system's audio settings> playback> realtek digital output. And then go to Supported Formats and check all the options, then test again.
Not working mate. I am starting to think I somehow damaged the optic output. When I try with stock realtek drivers, and test dts or ddl in control panel, it gives just glitch sounds till it asks me did you hear the sound. The same with netflix app on windows.

I am giving up on this:/ Thank you for you great work, unfortunately I am at loss here :/

Hi all.
I have ALC 883 (Gigabyte), PC with Win 10 - 64 install new RealtekDriver 720_2
and I do not see the DTS, Dolby etc. tab in the driver options.
I will add that I do not use optical output, I use only analog.
Any help ?

@Alan Finote mate, I somehow got dts working with one of you older releases, but there is a problem you can hear in the video. This only happens on onboard realtek. I tried the sound system and optic cable with a sound card (xonar dx) and it works (xonar dx has another problem like when I stop listening to something, it drops spdif and a very loud pop! sound happens everytime)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ebmUJ2R5IHRec6aYImKhWWWHn3804Uti/view?usp=sharing

This crackling sounds happened everytime I was able to install dts. I just thought it was driver error or smth.

What do I do with xonar? I am talking about xonar dxs Dolby Digital Live if thats what you meant. I didnt do anything else lol. It just drops decoding (decoding light turns off on Z906) and makes a very loud pop! everytime when i stop listening so something. Which is really bad when you listen to smth midnight :D

Sorry for the rant, I had thinked for the first looking that you had tested Alan's mod in Xonar which is I find impossible? :D

P.S: I had the same Z906 and use with Alan's mod 8166 version :)

I started to think there is a hardware issue with my board, I somehow damaged the optic out on mobo. Well I bought a sbz soundcard and planning to buy a tiamat v2 soon. If and when I buy a new mobo I will come back, until then farewell boys :)

How to install it step by step? Do I need to install the Realtek High Definition Audio driver?
Regards Poland. :)
The installation is well facilitated. You will need to install Realtek HD Audio, already included in this package, along with: Realtek ASIO, Creative Sound BlasterX 720°, the latter with optional installation, through a message during the installation. No disturbances.
In the beginning, you will be asked about installing Visual C++

I've installed yesterday than I finally find out how to get the maximum advantage, with the mixer option to listen to the digital output, so I unlocked new configuration options. Indeed, I just messy with the sound and couldn't see any improvements from my old (very old driver) and the X-FI MB5 (old as well).

So, Alan, can you tell me more about the maximum optimization setup for me?
I'm using a B250M-D3H V1 Gigabyte mobo, with a ALC892 inside, running Win10 x64 1803 or 1804/RS4, not sure about that.

Thank you so much!
I'll always keep trying to use your drivers, but its the 5th time that I expend a lot of hours trying to get a better audio than with the old mod drivers.

But is this driver working on your machine?

The old one? Yes. But i digged about it and the new one drivers for this alc892 brings the sound quality to a new lvl, so I started to try new enhancers like dts, 720, etc...
No. This one I posted, if I installed it, is it working? So I can fix some problem.

Yes, its working! Ive got no problems to install it, but since I've discovered about the "listen to another driver" feature, I've got some improvements, but somewhere at my config experiences i messed it up to a point of no return, so I rollback.

I've been using Tidal HiFi MQA to test the quality.

Sorry, but whats the purpose of having a modded driver?
The purpose is to unlock new Audio Processing Objects (APOs) to get the best possible sound experience regardless of the make or model of motherboard.

Oh! I see.. The model of the headphone matters? Of course there will be a difference of quality, but can it be used in any computer (Windows 10 x64) with any headphone?

In the case of this thread, the only requirement is the presence of a REALTEK audio chipset present on your motherboard.

Is it true that not all driver versions when installed will result in DTS being selectable in Windows 10 Sound>Playback>Advanced>Default Playback tab? Some drivers are only showing Dolby Digital Live instead of DTS and I don't know how to get DTS enabled

Thank you! I'll be downloading your modded driver with SBC. Is it enough or there is a better combination of audio enhancers to use?
