The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

Friends, I posted another driver HERE, with more resources.

ATTENTION to members who encountered problems while running Sound BlasterX 720. The solution is only as follows: Simply register the MBAPO232.dll library. How to do this ? Press Win + R - it will open the Run - window, and paste this command: "regsvr32.exe" "%systemroot%\SysWOW64\MBAPO232.dll" After that, restart your computer. @Juggler

SORRY!

Is there a way to install the drivers WITHOUT anything from Creative?
I ask because, my main sound card is a X-FI Titanium HD and It caused conflicts with it.
I lost ASIO, for example.

Edit:
You can install all without Creative.

Started the installer.
The, went into C:\Program Files\Realtek\InstallFiles
There, I renamed the folder SBC.
Followed with the installation and done!

I just tried a fresh install and now getting an error Unable to start the Dolby audio driver. Please restart the computer or reinstall if the problem persists. All of a sudden, nothing is working. It seems that before I had some leftovers from previous installations which were making everything work. Help please!

@Alan Finote The command worked but still the same problem after restart. Your audio device cannot be detected. Please check your connection.
 
I find that RealtekDriver_2019 6.0.1.8631.exe works perfectly for MSI GP63 Leopard laptop. Now only issue is damn windows update reinstalling old realtek driver that kills the sounds for me. My laptop is finally loud and this microsoft update causing issue. I tried followed online steps on hiding it using wushowhide.diagcab but I can't find windows installed realtek driver in my uninstall list. Also is there a one click to uninstall all the stuffs installed by Driver Here as well as easy method stop windows update realtek driver? Due to Microsoft stupid realtek update my laptop is back to its no longer loud sounds even after I did reinstall the drivers. Also I think Dolby Atmos isn't installed when I tried clean install audio drivers for 2nd and 3rd time. It was there in first installation of driver before I had to uninstall everything to reinstall.

My Matherboard is a ASUS Maximus VII Hero (ALC1150) and I use only Optical s/pdif for my external receiver Pioneer VSX-922K then i'm interested only at unlocking of DD 5.1 and DTS 5.1!!!
Moreover i have the OculusRift for the games with integrated headphones.

For me is ok?
How many time for publisher?

Thanks in advance!!!!
 
Thank You @Dj Urko for your work
Finally I can figure it out how to install this mod. Everything is works fine.

I am still struggling at having any such controls and I found no dingle driver hat has everything working - either something or another is always missing. Is there one single driver that has at least an equalizer implemented? The other problem I have is that the headphones are sometimes missing and I only have the speakers as output. This results in the speakers not always being muted when the headphone jack is inserted.

Hi ladies and gentlemen and enthusiasts of sound,

There is new updated Driver Mod to version 8627. In the package are included Dolby PCEE4, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS Headphone X and also Nahimic who optimises Nvidia HDMI Audio Driver. Dolby Digital Output via SPDIF and HDMI.View attachment 116241View attachment 116155

I hope you’ll be satisfied.

@Dj Urko This is the closest I got in seeing some controls on my Realtek ALC298 on the Microsoft Surface Pro. I cannot get Creative or Nahimic to work but at least I have an equalizer in Dolby. The problem is that the headphones are not visible as an output and I have no control on them. Are there other versions of this driver? ALC298 on Microsoft Surface Pro 6.

Can you support realtek driver mod for USB headphone too ?

USB headphones do not pass through Realtek audio. No driver mod can support USB headphones.
APO Driver can be applied on the USB headphone endpoint. Check that.
 
I have the exact same problem, the audio is heard noisy and as distorted … Dolby Digital Plus do not work, but Dolby Home Theater v4 does work, same for Harman Effects is heard noisy and distorted. I disable all effect!!!!!

I wanted the drivers anyway for together Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 …. I only use Optical s/pdif and my external receiver is Pioneer VSX-922K.

The last original AUDIO_Realtek_HDA_FF03_v6.0.1.8633_WHQL (asus=ff03 nahimic) is very good for normal stereo signal on Asus … it is possibile activate the Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 in this driver???

Is there a way to install the drivers WITHOUT anything from Creative?
I clean installed the latest release from Alan - I only use SPDIF digital output on my realtek ALC668 chip ( Asus G751JT laptop ).
  1. I confirm as well that even though I only use digital output & disable the speakers output - "SounzReal VoizReal EXP" still effect the digital output if it is enabled !
    So to disable it - one should enable speaker output, goto realtek panel, DISABLE "SounzReal VoizReal EXP", then disable speakers.
  2. W/O changing anything after installation, DTS live & DTSi options appears for my DIGITAL output - BUT WAS STEREO ONLY ( not 5.1 !)
    Apparently SB720 is the culprit - not only it refuses to work for the DIGITAL output and do only work when SPEAKER(analog) is enabled.
    So inorder to get DTS live & DTSi to be a true 5.1, I removed the relevant values found in "Creative_Legacy_Render.ini" using FX CONFIGURATOR i.e any value BUT "{C18E2F7E-933D-4965-B7D1-1EEF228D2AF3}", since it is belongs to realtek panel also.
    Once I removed these values, apply and restart the audio service - I got DTS live & DTSi to be a true 5.1 ( w/o having SB720 to work of course since it didn't in the 1st place ).
    The values I removed:
    Code:
    [LFX]
    {D8813D24-E801-4a75-9985-30E7CC9DBD93}
    [GFX]
    {53641EC4-4566-4896-919A-2FBB21FD2FCF}
    [SFX]
    {F841F354-41AB-4652-81EF-F879AE87F9FC}
    [MFX]
    {0803F79D-A6CB-42F1-A46C-A1B0F067FEFC}
    [EFX]
    {801F7DFC-E551-4E01-9CAF-29BFC339984E}
  3. After clean installed driver from step 1 above ( and before my changes I did in step 2 ) I registered MBAPO232.dll as admin with success - rebooted, but SB720 still refused to work for the DIGITAL output.
 
Hi.

I have the ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard, which uses ALC1220 Audio Codec.

Can I get DDL with this mod, and if so, what do I need to do?
 
NEW DRIVER POSTED HERE
GOOD RESORT!!

@Alan Finote I am honestly starting to lose track on which driver to choose, and why. Thanks! After trying about 10 drivers, I am starting to think that it is not possible to install this driver on my system. Some versions are missing one thing and others are missing another. Dolby works sometimes, Creative never works.

Alan do céu, meu xará (com um L só)!

Tô rodando seu trampo numa uma ALC662 há algum tempo e sempre fui muito grato pelo seu tempo em melhorar a qualidade de vida da galera, mas eu tenho que dizer que desta vez você se superou e meu ouvido está quase explodindo de tanta força, o áudio está tão "encorpado" que nem da vontade de tirar os fones mais -- Sério, qualquer coisa que eu coloco pra tocar fica milhares de vezes melhor!

Muito obrigado!

On setup I've installed everything but after I removed Creative Connect and Nahimic, so I remained with all Dolby features and DTS.

Translated version for feedback purposes: I'm running your work on my ALC662 from some time ago and I was always grateful for your time into improving everybody life quality, but I have to tell you that this time you transcended and my ears are almost blowing up of strength! Sound is so complete that I don't have will to remove my headset anymore -- Seriously, anything I set to play gets thousands of times better!

Thanks a lot!
 
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 :

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.

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.
