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

If you turn on Sonic or Atmos for Headphones, it will switch the Default Format to a 2ch format, usually without warning (which is a problem in my opinion). Sometimes you have to close and open the options to see that it switched to 2ch if you haven't already tested it on your receiver. At least it does this for Optical. (Though remember that the Optical test tone only plays 2 channels, so that's not a good test unless your receiver shows it's sending in 5.1 mode).

so spatial sound does not override windows default format. They work at same time?

But the patched DTS 5.1 here force system wide audio to 5.1 even youtube video play at 2 channel?

 

[Jgr9]

No, they don't work at the same time, at least at the moment. Spatial will only let you use 2ch, at least through Optical.

Next week I'm going to ask if there's any chance at all that Atmos for Headphones bitstreams more than 2 channels and could be used to directly bitstream 5.1 channels to optical receivers, or if it's strictly 2 channels, and not just an issue or limitation when currently changing the settings.

(Other problem is, I've got.... other Windows bugs that are making this difficult to work with at the moment...., not to mention I don't really have the money to spare to even purchase Atmos for Headphones, and I don't think it will let me trial again, even if I got my issue fixed.)

Hi.I tried to install XF MB5 on my Asrock Z270 K6 and Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and manage to make it working.And it sounds amazing!The only problem that I have is when restarting the PC,i must run as admin the GenKGA3.exe and bat file,located in C: every time after restar,to make the MB5 recognize my sound device again.After that,it works fine until next restart.Then I must run the two files again.Is there a way to avoid this and make it permanet working,without having to run the two files every time after restart?

Running it is only needed once.

what a load of nonsense page 93/94 regarding OPTICAL out being 2Ch only ? where do you guys get this shit from ???
Windows 1703 ( OS Build 15063.483)
Realtek HW on board ALC1150
both DDL , DTS I and every other mulitchannel format is working perfectly fine over OPTICAL OUT
View attachment 90395

so the patched DTS here is really forcing windows audio output DTS 5.1?

He didn't bother reading that we were talking about Atmos for Headphones and Sonic.

yes windows default format will go to 2 channel when spartial sound is enabled. you also said they don't work at the same time. Then default format set to 2 channel dose not mean spartial is 2 channels only and there is no proof from any source state windows spartial sound in only channels.

 

[Jgr9]

I literally just asked a Microsoft Audio Team guy about that and whether or not there is any chance that Atmos for Headphones or Sonic can send/bitstream more than 2ch directly to a receiver through Optical. I don't know if I will get a response.

(What I do know is that a bug with the newest Insider builds causing the settings to reset on reboot is already being fixed, which is what I alerted him about previously.)

On a side note, I wonder if they're also working on getting rid of the old Sound Device Properties panels and replacing them in the Settings App, like most other things from the old Control Panel.

 

[byu1]

ok. I will wait to see a definite answer.

In the mean time, we are still expecting a complete working mod stream system wide audio to speakers and optical on top of DTS.

 

[Jgr9]

You can already get a simple mod that has Dolby Digital Live, DTS Interactive, (and Dolby Home Theater Pro Logic II virtual surround from 2ch sources) on Page 37, as has been said many many times.

opps. My typo. I mean dolby atmos on top of DTS.

No you cant
Dolby Atmos for Windows or Dolby Atmos Headphones is pseudo 3D AUDIO or yet another VIRTUAL 3D Audio branded with name DOLBY

To get full advancement from DOLBY ATMOS you have to have ATMOS certified Hardware and speakers , this however what is presented in W10 as Dolby Atmos Headphones is nothing else but virtual 3D sound on 2ch speakers or headphones .
There is not even a complete DOLBY ATMOS ENCODING so far that you could take advantage from as there is no DOLBY ATMOS Soundcards or on board audio as far as I know which is capable to encode it . If there is any please provide the link of the product and specs so I can study them .

I dont understand this fuss or hype regarding ATMOS which in fact is nothing like real Dolby ATMOS ? People who pursue DOLBY ATMOS here I relay would like to know on what HW you guys are listening on ?

Till now hardware DTS-i and Dolby Digital Live is far superior then Dolby Atmos in this form as it is now in W10 on any multi-channel speakers.

but in other hand DTS X is a complete different story ...that could work with existing multichanel speakers adding additional VIRTUAL channels on top of existing ones however so far there is nothing about it for PC ..unfortunately. Dont mix DTS X with DTS Headphones X or STUDIO it is quite different thing. .

it is not a problem it is how it has to work as both are VIRTUAL 3D audio for 2Ch output therefore it automatically switch the audio to 2ch it cannot work with 5.1 output like DTS-i or DDL

 

[Jgr9]

It is a problem when it doesn't give you any warning that it switches. Heck, it doesn't even appear that the switch actually happened until you close out the sound options and open it again. At least, that's how it was.

thats what you think ? ..

it doesn't have to give you a warning as it is by nature 2ch audio 3D Virtual effect ,works only with 2ch and it switch automatically to 2ch nothing to warn you about as it is logical if you use pseudo 3D effect it has to be 2ch ...what should the warning be for ?

 

[dvojinov]

Actually very easy to understand if you decide to use DTS-I or DDL real 5.1 surround on 5.1 surround speakers you dont need PSEUDO 3D standard like Dolby ATMOS Headphones or SONIC , that moment you tick on it system will and has to change your default output to 2ch to be able to produce VIRTUAL 3D effect ....simple.

It is good for users that doesn't have 5.1 speakers and using 2ch output for headphones or speakers...in that case ATOMS in this PC form or Sonic has effects and purpose , and I may agree that ATMOS may sounds great then .

Running it is only needed once.

Yup. GenKGA3.exe must be launched just once BUT also Windows Defender needs to be completely disabled or turned off so that WD won't interfere with GenKGA3. Use Defender Control 1.2 to turn off the Windows Defender app before running GenKGA3, then you can turn on Windows Defender again afterwards. Otherwise, GenKGA3 will have to be executed in Safe Mode in Win10 (which most users don't want to be doing).

 

[Jgr9]

...what should the warning be for ?

For general usability. Particularly for average users. Also, the Default Format in the advanced tab should be changed immediately when this happens, instead of having to close the properties windows and open them again to see the change.

absolutely right it works that way , as soon as I chose one of virtual options it automatically change to 2ch in the Default Format TAB it is visible immediately and I dont have to close anything and reopen, within the same session I changed default format to DTSI 5.1 and automatically in the SPATIAL TAB it jumps to NONE just as it should be..so what exactly doesn't work ??? That was ongoing in on session of open SOUND PROPERTIES jumping back and forth ..instant change very visible .
