i see. i don't know why @alanfox2000 said at #692 post on making-audio-enhancers-work-on-windows pg 29

For 5.1 or 7.1 speakers - Dolby DAX API Service 3.xxxxx.yyy.z
change from total_count="2" front_count="2" side_count="0" height_count="0" has_subwoofer="0" to
5.1 speakers: total_count="5" front_count="2" side_count="2" height_count="0" has_subwoofer="1"
7.1 speakers: total_count="7" front_count="2" side_count="2" height_count="2" has_subwoofer="1"

when i all i heard and read that 5.1 is 6 channel system.

So, as I see, it must be the following Surround-mapping Scheme:
5.1.0 speakers: total_count="5" front_count="3" side_count="2" rear_count="0" height_count="0" has_subwoofer="1"
7.1.0 speakers: total_count="7" front_count="3" side_count="2" rear_count="2" height_count="0" has_subwoofer="1"
In Example for more Channels, it could be named so:
9.2.4 speakers: total_count="14" front_count="3" side_count="4" rear_count="2" height_count="4" has_subwoofer="2"

total count is sum of all including sub.
5.1 count=6
9.2.4 count =15
In 9 ch, additional speakers are front wides, thus are front.
9.2.4 speakers: total_count="14" front_count="5" side_count="2" rear_count="2" height_count="4" has_subwoofer="2"

Yeah, this seems about right.

You have three fronts, 2 sides and 1 sub

Should be 6 in total of channels. Which makes 5.1

All Dolby software does upmixing. PCEE3 and earlier uses Dolby ProLogic. PCEE4 and later versions use Dolby Next Gen surround Decoder. This decoder is the basis for current atmos upmixing on receivers.

Dolby PCEE3 vs PCEE4 vs DS1 vs DAX2/3: All use Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands stereo or 5.1-channel audio to 6.1- or 7.1-channel sound

Dolby PCEE3 vs PCEE4 vs DS1 vs DAX2/3: Can be up to 8 channels. Conclusion: It is Dolby Pro LogicIIx

Dolby Next Generation is Dolby Pro Logic IIz with 2 high channels. But it's not Dolby Atmos. And in DAX3 also do not use Dolby Pro Logic IIz

In Dolby Atmos UWP you only have up to 8 channels. It is no different with Dolby Audio / Dolby Digital Plus or DHTv4 / v3
The only difference: It support virtual surround sound to 7.1.2. This function is only available on Stereo speakers and Headphone. But on multi-channel systems is still 7.1 (Dolby Digital Plus)

Proiogic has a different audio steering technology compared to later Dolby APOs. Prologic steering is single band. Nextgen surround decoder is multiband. This allows for higher extraction of content.
In reallife terms: completely different audio is produced in each channels with multiband. Singleband cannot do so; audio is not perfectly extracted.
Note: multiband means that audio is split in multiple frequency bands, such as bass, mid, treble. Each band is steered indepandently to each channels. DTS neo6 and later decoders are also multiband.
Another distinction in the new decoder: there is no music-movie- game selection in the decoder itself. The decoder judges what to do by itself.
Just if there is a percived limitation in channel output doesn't mean that Prologic decoder is being used.
Final note: decoder name is either dolby surround upmixer or surround decoder. It is not atmos upmixer, even if it is exclusively used there in receivers.

Hello!

I'm new here and I have some questions about this drivers: Should I install drivers and addons from first post or from post with last update (https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...-for-windows-10.232921/page-82#post-3990146)? I've tried drivers from link below. Installer asked me about installation Nahimic, Soundblaster and other addons but only Alchemic and Soundblaster were after installation (so I do something wrong). I see that you're sending people to installer from first post, so I think this is the way to install it properly (with disable.docx and guide). But what in case when I want to try drivers from last update?

Best regards!

What specific feature do you want improved?

 

[em1n3m16]

How do i use Dolby Atmos For Gaming? I start it and thats it or i need to do something else?

 

[Bakchuli]

@Dj Urko Where can I find the DTS apo gui?

NEW DRIVER IN THIS POST
UPDATED VERSION TO 6.0.1.8631

I've unninstalled the old drivers but I still can't use the Creative Sound Blaster.
Even after using the GenKA.

Do I need to turn off everything else (Dolby Home and Dolby Digital Plus) in order to achieve the best experience while using Atmos for Gaming?

And I still can't turn on the Dolby Atmos for Headphone in this area. Is this the expected behavior? As soon as I click in this setting, it rollback to Deactivated and opens Microsoft Store to download Dolby Access. After downloading it, it says I need to change in this Sound Settings to Dolby Atmos for Headphone, so it stays in a loop.
My headphone is not using the front panel I/O from my case.
I have an Edifier C2 system connected in the back panel, and my AKG K240 Studio headphone is connected to the Edifier C2 headphone port.
Do I need to use something else to be able to turn this option on?

Thank you buddy!

[Diegosky1405]

[sunn]

@Dj Urko Where can I find the DTS apo gui?

It's in the package from 1st post.

 

[Bakchuli]

@sunn Ok im kind of a noob at this but ive installed the mod along with the dts gui and the atmos app. but now my front pannel wont detect my headphones anymore and when i try to start realtek audio console i get the message that it could not connect to the apc service.

 

[Metal-Tom]

Pls help me anyone! My Realtek Jack-Detection by the front & rear Speakers does good work, but the Center & lfe and also the side Speakers are shown as inactive, but they're plugged all in. Now my Question: It's eventually possible to set the Detection from the two Jacks in Active State permanently? How to set it in the Registry?

 

[Hristov RH-Records]

@Bakchuli This is not Realtek UAD audio Driver. This is Realtel HD Audio Driver and Realtek UWP Console is not supported

What specific feature do you want improved?

720;Dolby Atmos,movie

 

[CityCultivator]

720;Dolby Atmos,movie

For your case, I would recommend you to use APO driver. I do not know of anyone who does specific Creative driver mod.
If you are interested, do say so.
You said "movie". What do you mean by that?

 

[dpg]

Movie ,

Htpc multicultural.

 

[CityCultivator]

So you need SB720 and Atmos?
