Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

[brotherscro1]

No I just have Dolby Digital Live under options no DTSI
every game ive tried its only 2.1 ingame settings are set to surround where available

thats strange I have to admit and when you check the driver version it ends with 8166 ?

Yes
Is it possible that I added Add "DisableProtectedAudioDG" of DWORD (32bit value) type and set it to 1. wrong ? Or is it good like in a picture I posted before

Thats good as you did it teher is only 2 ways to create DWORD one of 32 type and other of 64 so thats it ...why you only have DDL and not DTS-I puzzles me as we have the same RTL Chip I checked your motherboard spec . I dont know if there is different revisions with different capabilities of the same Chip in which one has only DDL other DTS and some of them both still it is obvious it doesn't work for you the same it works for me .
I dont know how fresh your system is , how many times and what methods of audio installation did you try before , may be some residue or some registry settings form before other then DWORD affecting the whole thing ...there is a lot of factors in play .
You may try DJs solution he is more Dolby oriented , and there is Finotes one but that is in my opinion quite a mess with Xfi MB5 keygens and stuff

If you ever go for a clean windows installation but I mean really clean complete Windows installation , try this again with 8166 drivers and see if there is any changes , nothing can harm your system as no keygens or patches are involved the only modification is DWORD wich also automaticaly disapears with every new Realtek installation so you wont lose anything but may gain quite a lot .

I did clean installation about a week ago had drivers version before this i've used CCleaner today when i installed drivers to completely remove the old ones and installed yours
Windows is updated to the latest
It's not a big deal just gonna use it as before

 

[dvojinov]

Thanks it is actually interesting to have good conversation and feedback also learning some facts it may not play out the same for everyone although the same Audio chip is involved or at least basic model is the same and there are variations .
It appears that your chip is able to do Dolby Digital Live but not DTS-I , I will check my games with selected DDL and see if there is any differences and behavior regarding the outputs using Optical . I let you know my findings .

Nope its driver version 8166 problem, on erlier 8158 all was ok and i can select dts and ddl as well.
For games to work as 5.1 You neede to change some dll files as described here

 

[dvojinov]

I didn't experience any problems on my games with 8158 or 8116 but ho needs it is worth to try who need it

 

[TomONeill]

Test sound does not work. Try playing a game or a AC3/DTS encoded source and rear audio should be working fine.

HEyo it actually works.

I'm wondering why this all is such a bitch to make it work. 5.1 has been around for so long, why aren't W 7/8/10 supporting this out of the box

 

[dvojinov]

Well it does , there was few breakdowns in the past and recently with Creator update however that has been fixed also . This what we are doing is basically , cheating a little , we exploiting the full capabilities of RTL chip . Mostly it is all about licences for DDL , DTS-I or both . Those which mobos or audio cards comes with either or both licenses doesn't have to do anything . Those who have only one or non well this method helps out in that regard . As I mentioned before my Asus Z170-A mobo is equip with full DTS I licence and I just have to install regular drivers no need for modifications and everything works out of the box regarding DTS I but I dont have DDL however I dont need it in fact I was deliberately choosing mobo with full DTS I and DTS solution.

OK I check out my games using Dolby Digital Live and everything works it channels through all speakers in every game , also my AIMP 3 player as well as
Kodi so exept that it is less dynamic in sound the DTS other then that everything works the same for me . SO here this is how it looks like on my sistem using the same drivers I prepared for DTS/DDL using PHITO patcher:
full name of my on-board audio chip :
Audio Adapter: Intel Skylake PCH-H - High Definition Audio Controller
High Definition Audio Codec: RealTek ALC1150

so thats it, everything works on OPTICAL OUT to my Logitech Z906 speakers (DECODE lightn up)

Do you have maybe link to patched older drivers ? Gonna try tomorrow again step by step hopefully I did something wrong so this time it's gonna work

Question, I'm curious. I'm using the simplified mod from this thread - Just the RltkAPO64.dll and registry edit to get it working without test mode. Since the Windows fixes, Dolby & DTS Optical default formats have been working. However, I'm not sure that the Dolby Home Theater stereo-to-Virtual 5.1 (In the Device Properties Dolby tab) (Pro Logic II?) is functioning, when I thought it might have worked on some things before.

Is that actually working? What can I test that we know it actually works on?

I thought it was maybe functioning in Hearthstone before, but before today's update, Hearthstone was pretty buggy all around, but I'm still just getting L+R channels after today's bug fix update, when I thought I used to get center channel for voices.

I mean, I'm sure my receiver can fix that, but really I'm just curious if Virtual surround from stereo in the Dolby tab is functioning or not.

Dont know about the game but the Dolby Home Theater does work , I think the best way to test it is to set DDL or any other 2ch Format , have the Dolby Home Theater enabled use Chrome with this add after the ".exe" in TARGET area
".exe" --disable-audio-output-resampler >>> there has to be a space ( one) between "xxxxx.exe" and start of --disable... <<<
now play Youtube any clip music , video , whatever it should channel through out all channels however sometime the surround speakers doesn't sound so great possible it has to do with the quality of the clip or DHT matrix and algorithms tends to play only some sort of ambient sounds and effects in a way VIRTUAL surround .
When you disable this option in DOLBY TAB regardless of chosen default format DDL or any other 2CH it will play only two chanel audio or Stereo out , in my opinion DTS I with NEO does far better job then DHT . I think the encoding matrix and algorithms are far superior within DTS ..but that's my opinion and then again I favorite DTS over Dolby .

Ok so now I have DTSI and DDL but when I went in sound it said some drivers were disabled because they were causing problem so i enabled them ive tried DTSI and DDL now but still only getting 2.1 :/
And ive got new shortcut that Dolby Audio

Even in Realtek Manager I have DTS I and DDL but still no idea why they are not working it says it's decoding but getting only 2.1

edit: it seems that DTS I works only in Minecraft lol gonna try again with other games but only Minecraft so far..
edit2:and Battlefield 1 atleast something

 

[dvojinov]

I think for stereo sound, like mp3 u can upmix them using Dolby Home Theater under the Dolby tap. That Dolby Audio shortcut is for analog audio, I don't think it will work with optical/spdif.

it does work for me using DTS-I on optical to Z906 and in my case DOLBY HT is disabled , I use AIMP3 palyer WASPI Default

What about youtube?

 

[dvojinov]

What about youtube?

in that case it has to be enabled and this has to be added in Chrome exe Target " --disable-audio-output-resampler"
but again on OPTICAL OUT as well

 

[dvojinov]

it doesn't really sound spectacular to be honest

 

[Silver_WRX02]

Yea, DDL and DTS works with optical. My bad I was talking about the


That Audio Audio or DAX2 only work with analog.

Hi all. I am a long time reader of this thread, but just registered to say thanks and ask a question.

I've been using the Pihto's patch since a long time ago (thanks, Pihto). After the Creator's update fiasco, and later fix, I started downloading updated drivers and patching them again. But I noticed that although DD Live is working again after the MS fix, DTS Connect has vanished from the "Advanced options" tab drop-down list. The latest driver version that includes working DTS Connect fo me is v6.0.1.8142. Later versions (8158, 8166 and 8169 tested) only enabled DD Live.

Has anyone noticed? Is there a fix?

BR

I did the same yesterday with 8166 and it works for me ,I have both.

Dolby Audio doesn't support for analog 7.1 channels.

 

[anpa84]

Hi all, I have a motherboard asus Z170 Pro Gaming,
Which procedure I must perform?
I have install "realtek_hda_8059_dolbyHPhonesDTSrdy" i seen now dolby digital and dts, but in test audio not run. I can choose only 2 channel.
O.S. Win10
Thanks, sorry for my english...

 

[Jgr9]

Test tone only plays 2 channels. If you get an error and the test tone doesn't play at all, it should be fixed by fully updating windows, but test is only 2 channels.
