So... Here...! :D After testing for some hours, i found a solution for all effects to work.:D
This driver needs to install main creative sound blaster X720 app for other apps to work as intended. (Disable antivirus software as @alanfox2000 says before installing)
After that u can hear difference when changing profiles in all Dolby UWP Apps..... (in DTS Audio too)
If u skip installing sound blaster X720, both Dolby and DTS app won't work properly.

In my opinion, this driver is best for laptops (with small build in speakers) and headphones users.
As for external stereo hi fi speakers, 2.1 ,5.1, 7.1 users, use only SBX720 enhancements. Dolby UWP apps will ruin ur listning experience as all Dolby UWP profiles included are for internal (laptop, AIO pc, etc) build in speakers only. DTS will makes worse...:(

@alanfox2000 As for the profile u mention above(ext_lenovo_aio950_v221 ), it improves sound quality a little but not perfect for external speakers. It still sounds like internal small speakers. Anyway it is better than any other profiles in that folder (tested all) Thanks for the info :)


For multichannel Digital Output, u need to patch RltkAPO.dll and RltkAPO64.dll before installing. But i'm not sure this will work in this driver version, this patcher will unlock all previous driver, even original whql driver.
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsodMT_CwFZbmhV3SNX1vAAroGA4
download realtek.hd.sound.driver-patch form my drive and run > patch > search for RltkAPO.dll from the driver folder u've downloaded, after that it will close > open patcher again > patch > search RLTKAPO64.dll and patchin done.
Now u can install the patched and modded driver :)

Desktop apps are in Dolby folder > Dolby Atmos DAX3, Dolby Audio DAX2 , Dolby Digital Plus DDP i think :D

Lol , Sorry i misread. Did u double click DAXUISnG_2.1.218.0_x64.appx file? that won't install it. U need to right click Add-AppDevPackage file and choose run with PowerShell option. :)

DTS Audio will auto off if you not using 2.1 speakers.

ch_count string can be found on Dolby UWP Preset file, may be it is to set channel setting on Dolby App.

I don't have 5.1 or 7.1 speakers, I cannot test the different. If you have them , just change the number, test the different.

Still doesn't work. The sound is so low, I even have the volume up. I still don't have a tab for Dolby Atmos in the playback Device.
I don't have Lenovo pc, don't know if I have to have it to make the mod work properly.

The Dolby Tab on playback devices is for Dolby Desktop version, not for UWP.

Have you test lenovo aio950 and huawei kepler?

huawei kepler preset give me have louder sound that lenovo aio950. (Very loud, so I am using lenovo aio950 now)

I tried again, right click Add-AppDevPackage, powershell open in nanosecond then gone.
Copy the install folder under c:\ & enable develop mode

Lenovo Aio950 & huawei kepler
You cannot buy these laptop now, they are not ready for sell.
Lenovo Aio910 is a Desktop PC: https://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/deskt...series/IdeaCentre-AIO-910-27ISH/p/FFICF910243
SoI guess Lenovo Aio950 Preset is Desktop preset (LCD internal speakers) & I guess huawei kepler is a laptop.

I had reupload 20180328_realtek_hda_8403_WIN10_64.exe and the modded driver will auto install Lenovo Aio950 preset by default.

[B]blaqsky[/B] Try Dolby Atmos (Mainstream) with default.xml profile from ext_xiaomi_tm1705_v215 or ext_lenovo_grafevo_v215 (are the same). It subtly and work perfect with my three-way stereo acoustic system.

DTS effects best off i think.

The Volume Leveling and Advanced Level will lower the volume and makes so low sound even if u turn ur volume up.

Make sure you do not check disable sound enhancement on Sound Blaster Tab. If it is checked, it will not only disable Sound BlasterX 720° sound effect, and also DTS Audio sound effect.
Lol, find out today that it was meant to disable creative sound effects, instead it disable DTS effects only :laugh::roll:

Creative FX chain DTS & Dolby FX independent
Should sound more louder
U mean DTS and Dolby don't depend on Creative software installation?
Can DTS and Dolby only functional without including/depending on Creative APO?

Hmm....let's me think. Did u try changing the Dolby profiles? if not try changing profile of ur choice according to the Dolby App u've installed.
I've to test the updated driver causes this problem or not?

Ok.. as i think, the updated new inf file cause this. Uninstall that driver.
Here is the old inf file. Copy n replace it in Win64 folder and install again

@alanfox2000 ur new inf file didn't work sir!

Hi, here is my 2 cents feedback ! ;)

first, my setup :
-asus rampage 5 extreme "supreme fx 2014", so a basic alc1150 chip
-logitech z906
-optical cable between both.

Asus driver worked with no problem with "dts connect" option, but lacks of control (how to tell there is NO control in thier app ?!)

So i tried to installed moded driver given in op post. Setup failed with error 0001 or something like this.
So i installed driver through hardware manager and it installed fine.
Apps provided in extra installed too.

Everything works perfect so far (5 minutes testing). thanks to op for this driver.

Just a few questions. I think there is redudancy in apps installed.
Do we need to install "audio by Harman", "dolby advance audio v2", "dolby digital plus" etc.. ?

i already uninstalled "audio harman" and "dolby advanced audio 2" app (not api) that seems to do anything in my setup.
"Dolby digital plus" app is really great in any case :))

If you have information about control provided from every app, i appreciate you share it ;)
