Yes. It was causing problems in some 24-bit playback formats.

For now, it is only with PCEE4 Test and SRS Premium Sound. Later I'll include Sonic Focus.

@Alan Finote

Thank you for this mod :), it sounds, but I have none of Sonic Focus :(

Must I upgrade to Creators Edition?

Edit: Sorry, I have the wrong link downloaded :(

Now test the Sonic link

Edit 2: The problem persists, no SF in my tab

so DTS DDL removed from windows audio, realtek panel ? I think that's bad idea.

what is sonic focus? is it like spatial sound in windows sonic sound for headphone?

So is this driver needed anymore. I am on Windows 10 with the stock Realtek driver for the ASRock Z87 motherboard.
I am able to set 5.1 output mode and the receiver is able to detect the DTS output. I didn't even need to open the Realtek application

I do not want DTS DDL removed. I tried files in post #2236, #2242 and tried steps in #2245, all end up no DDL DTS in windows audio realtek panel.

what is wrong here?

The driver modification for just DDL and DTS default formats for 5.1 surround sound through Optical output, like in the original post, with working instructions on pg 37, was mainly only meant for motherboards that were not given the license to use them, even though they have the hardware to do so. Almost everything other than that is unneeded crap, imo.

Yes this is for optical. I do not know how Alan Finote work on those things, and those things work for himself while not work for all people, maybe he is using latest hardware. Lots of people want this tweak are using older hardware. But those file are posted to share then we make to make it to work.

Hi. I'm new here and inexperienced. I don't know if this is on topic, but here's my issue:

I have an "ASUS H170 Pro Gaming" Motherboard with the ALC 1150 codec. And a 5.1 audio system connected analog (3 jacks to 6 RCAs).
The 6 channel sources, like movies or games, sound nice and clear on all speakers like they should. But stereo sources, like music, are played on the Front speakers only. Now, we all know about Speaker Fill which upmixes stereo to 5.1. But when I activate it, the sound emitted from the Rear speakers is low and very distorted and there's almost no bass.

I don't know if this is normal, because before I had a VIA HD VT1708S codec (ASUS P5QL/EPU Motherboard). With this codec, when enabling Speaker Fill, it worked perfectly. All speakers had clear sound, and good bass. So I don't know how a 10 year old codec can upmix perfectly, while the new codec can't. I was really disappointed.

I tried these unlocked drivers to enable DTS, Dolby, SRS. But they do exactly the same thing as Realtek's Speaker Fill. Then I thought perhaps these unlocked things work only with an optical cable, and NOT with analog. I haven't read all 91 pages of this thread obviously, so I'm not sure about this.

The only solution I found is to remap the jacks in regedit, meaning to set the Rear and Center/Subwoofer as Front. More details here: https://www.reaper-x.com/2012/02/13/how-to-remap-retasking-realtek-onboard-jacks-ports/ . Works with the 6.0.1.7543 driver.

But when I want to play a game, I have to remap back and restart every time. So this is not the best solution.

So, is there any way I can make Speaker Fill work perfectly like my old audio codec?

Also, how does the newest ALC 1220 codec behave?

OK Guys, I've found a pretty good alternative to all these "unlocked" stuff - and it works great! Dolby Home Theater v4. The sound it incredible. I have tried it with monitor's headphone port (via Displayport from GPU) and speakers, and the analog speakers and front panel headphone port on chassis. I could use a little of the srs trubass though. But the bass isn't bad at all. All in all I'm quite satisfied. I don't know if it's legal to share it (or use it, for that matter). But do search for it if you are interested.

I use this approach too...I don't even have realtek anything but using this I can get dolby digital live through the HDMI port of my nVidia graphics card. Have been using it for years and still using it in Windows 10 fully updated...

In order to get 5.1 in games I still have to patch xaudio2 dll files or I will only get stereo dolby digital which defeats the whole purpose.

Could you provide directions on how to do this?

I am building a PC for my living room. My Vizio 5.1 sound bar has HDMI but doesn't support multichannel lpcm. I could use optical, but I would prefer to use the HDMI connection.

Already tested all the drivers from v6.0.1.8158 through v6.0.1.8199 patched with Pihto's unlocker. DTS not working so far on any of them (DDL working on all of them). @Pihto, any hint?

I my case the Dolby Digital via HDMI is listed but says "not supported" (supported via s/pdif which I'm not using). The maximum quality is also restricted to 48KHz, 16bit instead of the 192KHz, 24bit via the analog speakers and Front panel Headphone out. The monitor's sound is really terrible even through headphones, so I'm using the analog stuff and they are just fine. After my HiFi speaker's AMP got burnt, I bought this Audio Technica ATH M50 headphone and been using it for pretty much everything except when browsing or watching YouTube stuff, and I think only a VERY high-end 5.1+ external speaker system will be able to match it's sound quality and even directional audio during gaming. As a matter of fact, I think I have been having a better gaming experience with these compared to my previous multi-channel setup with external speakers. The only problem is that the ears get hot and uncomfortable after a couple of matches (15-20mins long each).

Try doing it manually with the instructions on Pg 37 instead, and make sure your Windows is completely up to date.

Thanks for the hint.

I've been doing it manually with the instructions since then, but after v6.0.1.8152 DTS does not work anymore with the patch from @Pihto . As previously said, all versions up to v6.0.1.8152 (included) works with these instructions.

My Windows version is up to date.

Nope only the 1 file in system32 (make sure the dll doesn't say it's blocked in the General tab of its properties, since it's from a different computer) and do the registry edit and reboot again. This still works with the R2.81 drivers from the Realtek website. It gets you Dolby and DTS default formats for Optical. (Again, they will only appear in the windows audio device Advanced properties, not the Realtek Audio Manager)

I thought you need modify 2 files and do you need patch realtek audio manager to have DTS and dolby besides windows audio, because they have to set to same.

Of course the R2.81 will work, as it is R4.54, pretty old driver (older than v6.0.1.8152, which is one of the first R4.60)

Well it's the latest one on their website, so that's the one I direct to. Especially since it works.
