The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

Lol.

I dun goofed up.

1) Installed setup.exe after doing all the prequirements
2) Installed DTS APO and restarted
3) Dunno what "Update Your Audio Driver using Device manager with This MoD" means so ignored
4) Installed only Dolby Atmos since only that's I needed
5) Says driver something and to restart. I thought installing others too will fix.
6) So install every enhancer except Nahimic
7) DTS X, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Home Theatre and Dolby Digital Live installed
8) Turn off everything except Atmos
9) Turn on Insurgency
10) Hate the "surround"
11) Uninstall eveything with Revo Uninstaller Pro
12) Restart
13) Static background noise since
14) Doesn't matter which port. Back, Front, Monitorvia HDMI. Static.

Motherboard : Intel DH61WW B3
Codec : ALC892 5.1
Headphone : HyperX Cloud X

p.s. tried reinstalling Realtek Driver but :View attachment 116966

HELP!!!!
Install from Device Manager. Then reinstall everything.
 
Download Driver Fusion. https://treexy.com/products/driver-fusion/
The free version will do. It's also on Steam.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/234820/Driver_Fusion__The_Best_Driver__Device_Solution/

Download and run it, go to Driver Cleaner, Select Sound, Video and Game controllers.
There, first clean Creative, DO NO RESTART, then Clean Realtek.
Then, restart.
Now, install the drivers you want.
Still can't install
Goofed you did!!
If you broke even HDMI playback, try system restore or system reset.
Edit: If you need only Dolby Atmos, try APO driver. It is better when only one APO is what you want.
Looks like have to reset. And I just reinstalled Windows a few weeks ago too.
Looks like I'll just bother you for instructions when/if I do this again
 
Wait, before you refresh/reinstall.

Download DriverStore Explorer
https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer/releases/tag/v0.9.39
Download it, extract it, run it as administrator.

There, sort items by "Provider"
Tick all that is Realtek (Make SURE it's all audio related)
Tick "Force Deletion" and click Delete Packages.
Restart the PC and try again.
There's no realtek shown. Only audio related are from Nvidia (my previous card). I removed two of them and still nothing.

BTW I booted to safe mode. No static. Looks like it's not a hardware issue *phew*

Have you tried installing the drivers via Device Manager?
 
RealtekDriver_2019_03 is installed blasterx720 is running but dolby atmos does not work
 
Why are dts, srs labs, asio, and waves audio folders in my regedit in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node?

i never download those or have those preinstalled and even i permently delete registry folder, after a reboot of the pc, the folder reappear. The only one that came preinstalled into my pc was waves audio because i have a dell pc. Also I recently clean installed Windows 10.

For the look of it, you are trying to install drivers that are not compatible with your motherboard.
But I installed it before uninstalling everything via Revo Uninstaller. And I even got the Realtek audio manager thingy on the task bar.

Btw my clownfish voice changer is not working either. Could it be the culprit?

Since this package has been modified by @Dj Urko. Therefore, it is not digitally signed.
So it's not installable via device manager?

It is possible, but you will have to activate Test Mode by entering this command: "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON", restart your computer and try again.
 
Okay @MerolaC and @CityCultivator I reset my PC and static is gone. Now I need instruction on how to proceed.

My motherboard only has 3.5mm jacks as audio out and sometimes I use my monitor's 3.5mm audio out that's connected to my RX 470 via HDMI. I state this because if it's apparent that any of this won't work on analog, I'll cease my case here and now.

I want surround sound for gaming and movies but mainly gaming on my HyperX Cloud. I heard Dolby Atmos is the best currently so IDT I need the others. I also heard DTS is varied on games that support it or sth. I need something support agnostic, that works on everything. If one is better than Atmos for say movies I would not mind installing it alongside Atmos.
 
Hey guys, I have finally managed to find the perfect driver however Windows is constantly deleting and installing the older driver as soon as I restart or switch on the internet. I am aware that the driver is unsigned and was hoping to be able to block Windows. So far I have done the following:
  • set a policy that does not allow Windows to change the driver of hardware matching the Device Hardware ID (copied from Device Manager) of both the good and bad driver;
  • set up the flag to block Windows Update from installing device drivers;
  • set Security permissions on the Realtek\HDA\ folder and its contents (deny write, modify, etc.);
  • deleted the .inf files from the DriverStore using DriverStore Explorer.
No luck. I guess it's something to do with the driver files in Windows\system Repository but not sure how to go about it.

Can anyone help please? @Alan Finote @alanfox2000 @CityCultivator @Dj Urko

Friend, if I post here a package with all the mentioned improvements (that are many), you will have a series of problems on your machine, including Audio Delay (the answer of the audio comparing with the video, for example, gets too big).
To all people asking a large list of enhancements:
Do you use all of these enhancements simultaneously? Or how?
