Hi, @AAF Optimus, du you have a compatible Rtk-HDMI-Driver in your Repo? Or could you pls integrate it as selectable Component in your next Drivers?

Realtek HDMI is already built into the main driver, if you mean a current onboard HDMI-DP then that is driven by the APU driver.
If its a GPU then its driven by the GPU driver, not Realtek. Don't see many Realtek ALC's with HDMI out.

NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
HD AUDIO DRIVER VERSION UPDATED TO 6.0.9611.1
MORE DETAILS IN GITHUB

ATTENTION: You will need to uninstall the currently installed version before continuing with this installation. A condition has been imposed for this due to problems reported by some users.

ATTENTION: As this is a driver modification, it may not work on all compatible devices as expected.

ATTENTION: Before installing this modified driver, be sure to remove any and all residues from previous Realtek audio drivers or even if there are residues from previous versions of my mods, if they persist. For this you will need the DriverStoreExplorer (by @lostindark). Remove any drivers whose vendor is "Realtek", "A-Volute", "Dolby", "DTS", "Creative", "AAF Optimus", etc in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers, Extensions, Software Components and Audio Processing Objects categories.

Those who want only Realtek material, just choose the panel option (HDA or UAD) and deselect the rest.

CLARIFICATION: Due to some accusations against me for allegedly including types of viruses or including fraudulent codes for data collection, cryptocurrency mining and other purposes, from now on, when the installation of the packages is finished, a copy of the original script in text file format on Desktop. In this file, the user will have full knowledge of the procedures that I have included in the installer.

I've spent the last couple hours trying to merely get a Realtek HDaudio driver installed that had an EQ.

Finally gave up trying OEM/1st part drivers, and settled on this w/ just the X-Fi MB5 feature app.
Perfect!

sorry, i commented this on your generic driver thread (and i removed it)
but please show me how to join both speaker and headphone into 1, my stereo mix doesn't work if i have separate playback devices
i'm learning how to use AAF Audio Tweak Tool and my Realtek Audio Control can't boot so it would be nice if someone teaches me the tweak tool method

Uninstall the DCH drivers+software using add/remove programs or whatever. Reboot. Reinstall.

Happened to me once, too.

Hello! Could someone plese explain what the feature of these drivers is?
What advantage do they have compared to the non modded drivers?
And what does 'only fpr HDAUDIO' mean in practise? I mean: Each and every mainboards's audio is HDAUDIO since many years, isn't it?

Thanks!: )

HDA over USB, more later boards are using the Realtek USB versions, but still have an [edit: High Definition Audio Controller] (from what I saw).

Thank you very much for your help!
(Maybe it could be a good idea adding this info to the starting post for other unknowing people stumbling over this thread)
In the meanwhile I am happy with my lousy standard DTS quality xD

That's down to AAF, if he decides to inform people.

====

Here is information in regards to the Nyquist theorem (external link), you can skip to 'Nyquist theorem in audio signals' if you want, but you should read it all.
Also note the playback equipment must also support and process the full frequency, most amps are around 20hz-20kHz (varies).

So lets say I decided to pump out 192k sample rate, and my hardware (inc amp) processed 96kHz, I still wont actually hear any of the sound.
So, going over 48k (and even more so when the hardware does only 20Hz-20kHz, and filters), is a white elephant (useless).

Now here is where there should be some laws in place, some of you would pay the extra money for 384kHz sample rate headphones.


Nearly all DTS-Dolby content is around 48k, not much point wasting bandwidth on a white elephant.

====

32 bit float starting at the black box after input. Should be rated lossless.
Quality loss point, and main point for THD, THD+N is the speaker.

Optical transfer of the audio makes it immune to the separated power.

The input and output from the DMAS can be compared, and adjusted.

I am going to guess you have an MSI? Well I have a friend with a USB Realtek (ignore USB bit), that's MSI, if not no matter.

I was able to fully remove Nahimic from his device, right down to residual files (as if never installed, ever).
Even with all the usual disable Windows driver auto-updates, it will install Nahimic.

The only workaround, was to ignore it, and setup the device with FX keys, in this case my DTS Ultra pack.
With this pack, it will probably remove all the AAF keys, and leave you with default.


Nahimic is literal malware no matter how you uninstall it's program or try to remove it's drivers it keeps coming back

Hello.
I have Creative SoundBlaster FX v2 card. I install this latest drivers for working DTS interactive. Everything works good but the configuration options for s/pdif out not working its only stays on 2 channels. If i run any game its play only stereo. Is it exists a workaround to enable a configuration on optical out to choose a 5.1 speakers. I have s/pdif connected to Z906 speakers.

@Blastuch, looks like the patched APO:

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...ws-10-11-only-for-hdaudio.250915/post-5127109 (#5,544)

Edit the .reg files, replacing DEVICE-ID, with the one for SPDIF (registry search).
I was edited the multichannel.reg file as you said run it then restart the pc but its still a stereo on games. Its only works good when i run Voicemeeter app and configure spdif device to a VoiceMeter input then i can configure it on windows sound setting as 5.1 device after that in games i have 5.1 sound but its produces a little input lag :(
