Good have it your way I just can be happy that Asus don't lie and write deceiving information for my Z170-A Mobo . You should return yours and sue Asus for misleading information regarding Audio capabilities of your motherboard.

so did you enter the REGISTRY DWORD ENTRY ??? did you or DID YOU NOT?? make a REGISTRY Screen shot of this location :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Audio

Disabling DEFENDER does NOTHING , run as ADMINISTRATOR DOES NOTHING on this driver packakge I would never recommend to DISABLE DEFENDER .. now for your wondering...again I install my package with BITDEFENDER ON which is far more aggressive then DEFENDER and no problem at all .

but what the FUCK you doing ???? you have licensed support for DTS why are you messing with this ..just install regular drivers from REALTEK and you dont even need this shit here ..thats how much you know about Realtek

Z-97A
Realtek® ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC featuring Crystal Sound 2
- Supports : Jack-detection, Multi-streaming, Front Panel MIC Jack-retasking
Audio Feature :
- Absolute Pitch 192kHz/ 24-bit True BD Lossless Sound
- DTS Ultra PC II
- DTS Connect
- Optical S/PDIF out port(s) at back panel

I have the same on my Z-170A and I NEVER HAVE TO GO with modified drivers , who know what you fucked up by installing MB5 and who know how many methods of hacked drivers you installed before as MB5 is hacked and comes with KEYGEN which is recognized as virus ,so thats why you disabling DEFENDER ..LOL ..stinks to me as Finotes package but this is complete different thing ...and different way of installation .

well then we have a new situation with new drivers and the structure , somehow it does work with my systems , may be due to legally licences DTS and DTS Interactive technology I dont know what else , it will possibly work with some people and not with all , and it may also stop working for me in some near future ..who knows ..then Im going for SB ZX and end of story .

@dvojinov, the (modified) driver you posted in #2157 seems to work only for DDL. DTS-I does not work for me (no license support in the MB). As mentioned before, the last driver version with working DTS-I for me, is 8142.

Thanks a lot for the information.

Not from me as long as someone else doesn't figure out what may be the issue , I can't recreate the same problem you guys facing on 2 of mine systems one with ALC882 and other with ALC 1150 so for me there is no way to deal with it unfortunately. I always have both DTSi and DDL and I don't even use DDL and don't care about it . For me all that matters is DTS and DTSi.

in my case I don't have DisableProtectedAudioDG entry, other looks the same
Well if you use driver set from me it is imperative to add the DWORD without it didn't work even for me . But now we have this situation where the DWORD is in place and doesn't work for him. Try to add it and see what is going to happen , keep in mind Everytime you Install new drivers or reinstall existing you have to add the DWORD it doesn't stay after new Installation or reinstallation.

In my case, I've embedded this code inside the INF file (eg HDXRT.inf)

And make a clean Installation be sure to remove everything realtek related , if that doesn't work for your onboard audio then there is something new we don't know how to deal with it. Also don't the use any audio enhancement tools from Asus like Sonic audio get that out of your system . Also get MB5 completely uninstalled as it may intefer .

It interferes, yes, because it overrides all other APOs.

Thanks Alan maybe this guys cought in between 2 different driver agenda's I newer used or installed MB5 I do understand that there is some benefits to some group of users however I'm pursuing the DTSi and DDL as from the original post on page one that started by 2bad . That was before known as A1 method I believe which transformed to this let say DWORD method how the OS and drivers where developing throughout the time.

That's what I did in my package. The Sound Blaster suite is enabled on analog audio only while the digital outputs are completely free from Sound Blaster, and it is possible to play 5.1 audio through the SPDIF with DDL or DTSi, ie the digital outputs are not affected by the overwriting of APOs by the Sound Blaster.

That's why some users reported that in analog audio, Sound Blaster works perfectly, but when they changed, that is, they set digital outputs by default, Sound Blaster stops working. This proves your freedom from DDL and DTSi.

I have only installed drivers downloaded from here (only Realtek WHQL), patched by myself with Pihto's patcher from this thread. Tested v8152 already, downloaded from elsewhere, and DTS-I also works. Newer drivers don't.

To clear my situation,
I never used any other drivers than realtek one and change in all of them 2 dll using pihto patcher and adding 1 entry yo registry as I put in post https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...d-dts-interactive.193148/page-87#post-3672801. All is working fine up to 8152 drivers all never as 8158, 8166, 8169, 8172 works only as DDL. DTS is possible only on 8152 and lower. Realtek simply must have change smthg which pihto patcher is not cracking, some one with knowledge of this code must see this. So for me all is working well DDL and DTS but only up to 8152 drivers. Hope to clear it out

Mine yes, but I should have been downloading it from here, which I didn't. I will test it in the following days.

Just a quick question:
Is it possible to install DTS Headphone:X (basically SRS Audio Sandbox with Headphone 360) without a DTS-certified Headphone?

Should be , it is pure software solution so it doesn't matter on which Headphones it works with .However where do you gt the DTS Headphone:X from ?
It may be a matter of license sometimes this comes with some motherboards and has licence embedded in HW recognized devices.

is this what you looking for ? I have it but it came with my hp OMEN Desktop X 900 and even after clean windows installation I didn't have to download or install any additional software I believe it is part of the Realtek drivers and gui.

I didn't know they bundled it with PCs as well (in addition to a handful of headphones). This does indeed mean it can be installed. My motherboard has the DTS Connect Neo PC thingy which can be used only with 4+ speakers - meaning, not with headphones. But I am only using the default Realtek driver from the motherboard's downloads page. I ONLY want the Headphone:X. Is three a driver I can try which doesn't require specific devices (like usb dongles etc) to be connected for installation?
