Not wanting to be ignorant or lacking in respect, but I stopped using the standard Realtek installer long ago.

... Then what do I have? - I downloaded the latest I could find from you on here, and installed that... this is what popped up...

Could you provide a link to your latest one here? so I can be sure I got the right one? - I got it from going to your profile, and looking at your recent activity, and found it that way...

Uninstall that driver, and restart the computer; then try DJ Urko Driver (Here, on Page 1), is the best option @Ghozer

Thanks, will try now and report back soon if I have any issues - the file name is different so maybe I got some odd one from somewhere on a thread without realising haha!

Hello

I'm facing the same issue as @Ghozer
My laptop is Lenovo Legion Y520 and I'm running Win10 x64 build 17763 RS5.
Lenovo drivers page says the best sound driver for my laptop is 6.0.1.8555.
I tried using both Realtek mods provided by both of you gentelmen and it gives the same error.
And yes I followed all the steps, driver signature enforcement is disabled and developer mode and testing mode are both enabled.
Please help...

This worked ok for me, thanks - 5.1 and Optical out is working, sounds nice too... now to see if I have the issue I had with my previous (default) driver - only time will tell :)

Although, every time I open the Audio Manager, it defaults to showing the "Speakers" tab, and i'm using "Digital Out" - minor inconvenience more than anything, thanks! :D

Yes I am trying to install the 720 package from your link in page 1 and following your guide and test mode is enabled, this is my build.
I will try the cinema 5 package, hopefully it works.

@Dj Urko
Same error with the cinema 5 package unfortunately.

@Qattos I have uploaded the packages again because maybe the package is broken so download the package again and extract it to desktop find and run the setup to install and if you get thes error message again open device manager in control panel navigate to sound video game controllers (high definition audio device) press right button in the mouse and chose update driver then browse my computer then let me pick up then press have a disk then browse open the win64 folder and select HDXRT.inf and install the driver

Now because of this Insider build thing, windows can't even detect my sound device, tried everything on the internet, nothing worked and I can't roll back to my earlier build, now I have to reinstall windows.

Edit 1: Finally got it working after resetting my system, and installing this one from @Alan Finote thread.
Thanks guys for everything you're doing.

ok, so I still have my problem, and the reason for trying this driver...

I'm using DTS Interactive (5.1) with Optical out, when watching videos (downloads) it randomly pops and cuts in/out of DTS (I see the DTS indicator on my decoder flicker) - this can get very annoying, some times its every 30 seconds or so, some times it doesn't do it for a while then will do it a few times, then not for a while...

Tried my motherboard's drivers, Realtek drivers, several modded drivers, And these Alan finote drivers...

I believe it's something to do with the DTS Encoding, as when I run it on standard 2 channel, it doesn't happen - but I loose 5.1 running like that... :(

Does anyone have any suggestions?

When you use DTS, go to details of task manager. Check whether any process is running high. By high it can be for example 25% on a 4 thread (e.g. dualcore with hyperthreading or quadcore without hyperthreading) CPU.
If you are not sure, take a screenshot when playing with DTS out breaking of task manager.
5.1 processing is more than twice heavier in processing than stereo.

@Dj Urko Can i replace the RltkAPO.dll files on your driver to unlock DTS & DOLBY 5.1 Headphones or that will cause problems?

I use 'DTS' all the time, It's set for ALL sound to go out via DTS...

I have a dual display setup, got Task Manager up all the time - Don't see any CPU spikes, or anything using excessive amounts (the most a process uses is about 5%) - Also, I never have the issue when playing games, DTS remains stable, It seems to only be when watching something (Streaming or Downloaded)

And, also seems to be the longer the computer is on for, the more likely it is to do it...

So you are saying that when there is audio breaks there is no high CPU usage?

That is correct... there's no abnormal CPU usage, no spikes... (I did see spikes on odd occasions, tracked it down to a process which I killed, but the popping still happens, with no cpu spikes)

as I said though, it's not Constantly, so far since boot, it's not happened yet today.
