Hello, sort of related sort of not...

I recently built a pc with a asus a68hm plus motherboard and purchased a s/pdif wire and back plate and connected it to the s/pdif out on the motherboard. Realtek will not pick this up and all I see is realtek device but it does not say optical like it does on my laptop!! I've updated the drivers to no avail. Oddly enough, the only time I was able to see an optical device was after I dloaded the updated realtek drivers and it uninstalled the old ones before installing the new. Before it installed the new drivers the pc rebooted and the windows drivers were temporarily installed before the new realtek ones were. I could clearly see it there so I stopped the installation of the new realtek drivers but I couldn't get any sound! I then let the new updated drivers continue (for the second time) and the optical device disappears! Anyway, I'm using it as a music server and my DAC inputs on ly optical.

Thanks!

It's hard to knwo your exact issue. Make sure have a look at my posts as I posted about how to fix surround/5.1 for gaming with these drivers.

Reposting a link to my instructions again. Works with th2/10586. But be aware that there have been reports that Microsoft might have broken it again in newer builds.

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...d-dts-interactive.193148/page-37#post-3360667

FAQ:

Note that you most likely have to re-apply these modifications after major Windows 10 updates.

The test tone will be stereo (probably). If you see Dolby and DTS listed in the advanced drop-down, you did it correctly. If you don't get an error while playing the test tone, even if the test tone only does stereo, it's probably working.

The modifications appearing in the advanced Playback Device properties, but not appearing in the Realtek Audio Manager is normal.

If it is still not working in some specific games like Witcher 3, Fallout, and maybe Ubisoft games, search for Witcher 3 Realtek surround sound fix on google for those fix files (after getting these modified drivers to work successfully in other things) The files work across multiple games (but might still not work for Ubisoft games). Your success across different games may vary.

Here's wht Mine looks like at the moment (running SPDIF to receiver and the receiver recognizes the signal in dts format too), would there be a benefit in my case to do this "unlock" or is it already fully unlocked in my case (I normally run my rigs through my receiver too)

I'd assume it's working for you. I doubt unlocking will currently make any difference.

Hello all,

I've got a Problem:

OS: Win10 x64
Chip: ALC892

I tried many unlocked drivers (>10) and every time, when it seems to work (DDL is choosable), Windows isn't able to play a Test Sound (or others).


Which Driver would you recommend, that you know it works on Win10 x64?


(I'm very Sorry for my bad English xD)

I'm assuming you tried 2.79 with the 2.75 modified dll from my link and instructions from above? Are you on the 10586 Windows 10 build?
