Is this in reply to me? If you could help me with the settings of this driver, I would really appreciate it! My motherboard/audio hardware is on my previous post. What should I choose to install and etc? What are the most optimal settings for 5.1 surround sound? I have a center, sub-woofer, left/right front and back speakers - All hooked up to the correct audio ports. (Bass is in bass, center is in center, audio is in audio).

I've currently installed the files from here https://github.com/AlanFinotty/AAFRealtekMod/releases - I trust it, not sure what exactly I should be setting the settings.

I fixed my problems with the drivers! I am using https://github.com/AlanFinotty/AAFDCHDriverMod/releases - I don't know much about sound/audio drivers and the like, but I am using 5.1 ANALOG, so, that means I guess I do not need the DTS parts of the suite/tools. That and enabling the developer mode for the new API/Window store apps seemed to work just fine! Posting this in case anyone has the same issues.

The only issues I have now are - What is the best Sound Blaster program to choose to install? What are the best settings for a user who games/listens to music (Spotify) and watches videos? A lot of questions! Thank you all for helping, and making this!

Hmm, I'd say either the old MB1/2/3 or x720 with 3D mode in "Neutral Music"

does this support Realtek USB Audio ALC4082 ?

no.

Realtek USB (ALC4082) audio uses an entirely different "interface" (and drivers) than the standard Realtek HD audio chipsets like ALC662, ALC892, ALC897 etc.

Hello, Dj Urko. Is it possible to add support for ALC3246?

ID seems to be HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0256&SUBSYS_10280798

You have an ALC256 by the look of it, not heard of AL3246 (2030?), Can I borrow your time machine, just kidding. Just edit the .inf files to this universal one:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried what you said but it stopped apps from recognizing my card, I even tried putting my hardware ID but to no avail. When installing this driver without any modifications to inf files, sound works fine but some apps like DTS and Dolby Home Theater don't seem to do anything.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about that driver pack to suggest what to do, sounds like the FX keys are missing, or older drivers still remain, I am not sure.
The 'HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC' certainly works, it should have no effect on apps detecting your device. The driver might not be suitable.

Hi, sorry to re-open an old thread but I have some questions. I have a very annoying crackling and lag with realtek audio driver on my laptop ideapad 700. I have tried to install the latest version from Lenovo many times, obtaining always an increasing crackling and problems. I notice the possibility to use modded drivers, but I have no information on how to use it. Drivers modded by Dj Urko and Alan Finotti (if I understood correctly) can help me? I have only dolby audio as additional "application", I need all the others?
Thank you

try installing any of the custom audio drivers, then install APO Driver, then within APO Driver select the active audio interface on top, then select from product catalog either dolby digital plus, or dolby digital theater v4. You likely have to reboot to get it working.

This gives you at least some enhanced sounds even if the rest of the sound software doesnt work.

Hi, just curious what the difference between this and Realtek DCH Modded Audio Driver for Windows 10 is? I've tried the AF one and it doesn't seem to run on my laptop, so I might give this one a go instead.

Hi, I tried to install custom driver, but seems that the volume is now decreased and dolby and DTS are not working. I follow the instructions in the first post and in the download link, is there something I missed? Thank you
