unzip Dolby UWP APP Preset.rar -> ext_lenovo_aio950_v221 folder "INTELAUDIO_DEV_0274_SUBSYS_17AA36F8_PCI_SUBSYS_36F817AA.xml"

Install through setup.exe error -> install through Device Manager

No Dolby tabs on playback devices ( you install inf for Dolby UWP App) -> it is normal

Dolby App no sound effect / Dolby App show driver problem -> after install driver, reboot. Open Dolby App, make sure DolbyDAXAPI is running. Click the ON/OFF button on Dolby App to check Dolby sound effect

You should use one Dolby UWP App only, and you should use the correct preset.
Folder under Dolby UWP APP:

DAXUIDolbyAudio : Dolby Audio App Install Folder
DAXUIMainstream: Dolby Atmos App Install Folder
DAXUISnG: Dolby Atmos Sound System App Install Folder

Dolby UWP App install problem -> Copy App install folder to C:\ drive (e.g. C:\DAXUIMainstream) , run Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 with powershell to install

The driver already auto install Dolby Atmos Sound System huawei kepler preset file to C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc\Default.xml
Not necessary to change the preset file if you want install Dolby Atmos Sound System UWP app

No sound effect:
Make sure you do not check disable sound enhancement on Sound Blaster Tab. If it is checked, it will not only disable Sound BlasterX 720° sound effect, and also Dolby UWP App, DTS Audio sound effect.

default format all 2 channel, no multi channel, this means the system will output 2 channel eve with the dolby app ?

 

[alanfox2000]

Are you saying this?



DTS Audio will skip audio process if you set not 2 channel.

Realtek HD Audio Drivers 6.0.1.8403 X86/64 with DTS-NEO & DOLBY UNLOCK 266MB

Before anyone goes any further, why is this realtek installation searching through other files and folders on my computer upon installation?
It's not a simple pass through either, it takes ages to get passed .iso files.

Ok, install through device manager did ok.

now I choose UWP app, In DAXUISnG, DAXUISnG_2.1.218.0_x64_Test, Add-AppDevPackage right click open powershell, in the first line, i click on yes to all (is that correct? when I try that again it does no a launch), now install DAXUISnG_2.1.218.0_x64.exe, install dolby atmoms sound system screen, when click install, 'dolby atmosm system installe failed', the box show ' reason (Either you need a new certificate installed for this app package, or you need a new app package with trusted certificates. Your system administrator or the app developer can help. A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which isn't trusted (0x800B0109)'.

Also if this mod did not add multi channel to windows audio, default format are still all 2 channel, this means the system will output 2 channel eve with the dolby app ?

Enable developer mode in settings app. (See above)
It will add multi channel to windows audio when u disable all enhancements

Developer mode is set, still same error.

Disable all enhancements default forma still all 2 channels.

Also, the readme indicate get the Dolby Desktop App here : www.mediafire.com/#momrk3jav029r, it does not retrieve.

Developer mode is set, still same error.

Disable all enhancements default forma still all 2 channels.

Does ur speakers configure option shows like this?

As for the UWP app installation 1st time, after asking above, it will also ask u to install a certificate. Just accept (Y) it and it will install a certificate automatically in new powershell window.

Try it in Test mode + Developer on

Ok I get to the site. which files is for desktop?

for errors,

 

[blaqsky]

So... Here...! After testing for some hours, i found a solution for all effects to work.
This driver needs to install main creative sound blaster X720 app for other apps to work as intended. (Disable antivirus software as @alanfox2000 says before installing)
After that u can hear difference when changing profiles in all Dolby UWP Apps..... (in DTS Audio too)
If u skip installing sound blaster X720, both Dolby and DTS app won't work properly.

In my opinion, this driver is best for laptops (with small build in speakers) and headphones users.
As for external stereo hi fi speakers, 2.1 ,5.1, 7.1 users, use only SBX720 enhancements. Dolby UWP apps will ruin ur listning experience as all Dolby UWP profiles included are for internal (laptop, AIO pc, etc) build in speakers only. DTS will makes worse...

@alanfox2000 As for the profile u mention above(ext_lenovo_aio950_v221 ), it improves sound quality a little but not perfect for external speakers. It still sounds like internal small speakers. Anyway it is better than any other profiles in that folder (tested all) Thanks for the info

Ok I get to the site. which files is for desktop?

for errors,

For multichannel Digital Output, u need to patch RltkAPO.dll and RltkAPO64.dll before installing. But i'm not sure this will work in this driver version, this patcher will unlock all previous driver, even original whql driver.
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsodMT_CwFZbmhV3SNX1vAAroGA4
download realtek.hd.sound.driver-patch form my drive and run > patch > search for RltkAPO.dll from the driver folder u've downloaded, after that it will close > open patcher again > patch > search RLTKAPO64.dll and patchin done.
Now u can install the patched and modded driver

Desktop apps are in Dolby folder > Dolby Atmos DAX3, Dolby Audio DAX2 , Dolby Digital Plus DDP i think

Lol , Sorry i misread. Did u double click DAXUISnG_2.1.218.0_x64.appx file? that won't install it. U need to right click Add-AppDevPackage file and choose run with PowerShell option.

yes I did.

 

[blaqsky]

yes I did.

That will fail. U just need to run Add-AppDevPackage file with PowerShell only and accept (Y), it will automatically install both the certificate files and the app.
Good Luck!

 

[Jayce]

I stopped Dolby Dax3 API service and restarted. I also turned off and on Dolby Atmos sound system uwp app, also tried disabling enhancements and still I don't hear a difference when turning it off.

Try installing the sound blaster x720 app first. Then disable creative enhancements through sb connect 2 app by setting profile to natural and turn any radio buttons to off.
If still don’t hear no difference, install the DTS app too. Just follow the readme.txt (Make sure u can turn on and off DTS effects) then turn off DTS too. Afterthat, u will surely hear the difference.

(Most important is don’t check the “disable all enhancements” checkbox in Enhancements tab of realtek speakers properties)

I think did clicked on yes to all on powershell once but I want to go back check again, powershell would open in nanoseconds then close.

 

[blaqsky]

For the DTS sound problem, i found a potential fix. Don’t install the included new DTS version. Find the old 1.0.6000 version and audio will improve in DTS.

Hit winows key and type “manage user certificates” (u can also search)
When u found the program, open it, then navigate to Trusted People>Certificates > and find the 58D26209-1D57-482C-B403-B655571B5C7B certificate. Delete it And then install the app again (right click > run in PoweShell) It will ask u to install certificate in new PowerShell winows. Accept (Y) it and all will be installed. Tested it myself

Hit win key n type to search manage user certificates
When found open it, then navigate to Other People>Certificates> find the Dolby Certificate and delete it.
Then try install from PoweShell again.

Edit* Sorry that’s wrong certificate
The actual one is in Trusted People>Certificates > 58D26209-1D57-482C-B403-B655571B5C7B This one! Delete it and reinstall. It will ask u to install certificate in new PowerShell winows. Tested myself

can you explain those? im not following.

 

[blaqsky]

can you explain those? im not following.

Which one?
Manage user certificate is the build in windows certificate manager program

 

[byu1]

Which one?

actually I found Trusted People>Certificates >, but it is empty.

I’ve no idea why it didn’t ask u to install certificate in PowerShell window even there’s empty.
Just try right click Add-AppDevPackage file n run in PoweShell again. Wait for the prompt, hit “y” key and wait for another PowerShell window to open, hit “y” key again and it will install.
If that’s unsuccessful try finding “58D26209-1D57-482C-B403-B655571B5C7B” in other folders too.

Still doesn't work. The sound is so low, I even have the volume up. I still don't have a tab for Dolby Atmos in the playback Device.
I don't have Lenovo pc, don't know if I have to have it to make the mod work properly.
