Guys, is it sound better to add DTS on all SFX, MFX, EFX (8403 Win10 modded driver )? ( this is based on Realtek OEM driver setting )

Download DTS SFX, MFX, EFX inf form below

Make sure you apply the fix DTS Audio No Sound Effect from here again after install the inf.

Dolby Vs DTS in music
Ok, i've tested. Here's my record, listen for urself what DTS is doing with my music... :) also tested with headphones. SBX720 completely off. (caz it's always sound better, Dolby's too:D)
It will degrade ur music sound quality (not in movies). in my opinion, it limits everything very much, volume leveler,advance levels..etc.. Only headphones will sound better for music
http://www.mediafire.com/file/jswdnrz69c321yw/Desktop 2018.04.02 - 19.20.29.01.mp4
Anyway, this inf better than the first one i think @alanfox2000.

Alan, The mod works for me now, i can hear the difference from dolby atmos sound system uwp app. Don't know how or what you did but it works. Thank You for your help man @alanfox2000 and @blaqsky !! :):clap::respect:

here a link to the recording to tell the difference from my end.*no joke it works* I can't tell you if it's better than the previous one since the previous one didn't work for me.

DTS Studio Sound is for Movie (not music). Headphone X is for music.
May be you can test TV Movies, I had watch some movie with DTS, the voice is clear. Just turn off DTS 3D fx and use SBX720 Movie settings.

I've watched a movie, with DTS and Dolby. In my opinion, Dolby Dialogue Enhancer is more effective, more clear voices, DTS is good for silent watching for example at night... still DTS is overlimiting all sounds, such as explosion....etc (sometimes it sounds unnatural) which causes so low volume even if i up my speakers volume to max. But DTS's surround feels more natural than Dolby in movies,(not in musics) cause DTS uses Object base sorround while Dolby Atmos still use Reverb base one. (We have to buy Dolby Atmos enable speakers n receivers to feel the real Dolby Atmos surround i think)
The Dolby apps are just upgrade of their old softwares, only name changes. So whatever the Dolby app says "Dolby Atmos" it's still Dolby Digital Home Theater v6 or v7. So sound won't improve like the real Dolby Atmos....just my thinking.
So.... using Dolby Atmos will feels like ur in Theater while DTS will feels like normal home theater room.( use DTS with SBX720 cinema profile will feels like Theater but not as good as Dolby)

Anyway, this is a nice PLUS for ur driver which ppl can choose whatever they want to use.(SBX720 or Dolby or DTS) Great work! @alanfox2000 :clap::toast:

PS:
DTS is good for ppl who don't want their neighbours angry while watching movies at max volume. :D:p:D

I think dolby atmos has improved significantly
With Dolby Home Theater, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Audio are 360 degree surround sound simulator . Sound just surrounds the left, right, front and back. Sounds also fly. But did not feel clear
Dolby Home Theater v4/Advanced Audio v2 and Dolby Digital Plus HT/ AA is a standard. DHTV4 vs DAAV2 used for Windows 7. Interface for computer mouse
Dolby Digital Plus HT/ AA used for Windows 8/8.1. Interface for touch PC
Dolby Audio is an improvement from the old two versions. Improved bass, surround sound, clarity of voice

Dolby Atmos upgrade from Dolby Audio. 360-degree surround sound upgrade (2D) into spatial sounds 720 degrees (3D). Audio cube. Left, right, rear, front and top.
In general, they are simulators. Sounds unclear. Inaccuracies. But I still like it. Because it's contemporary .
I do not need much space for the speakers. That's just 2 speakers I can still enjoy.

@blaqsky i got it to work by using this mod by @alanfox2000
Realtek Mod Suite for Win10 driver after having dolby atmos uwp app install with this one, i just installed alanfox's new driver and worked.
i just installed the Blaster+DAX3 .inf file and had installed dolby atmos uwp app and test it to see if the the effect would work and it worked perfectly with my 5.1 surround sound system.
Sound is amazing.:toast:

This driver is only modded for analog sounds sir! If u want to use digital DDL n DTS 5.1, u need to unlock (patch) the driver. But i’m not sure the previous patching methods will work in this driver. I’ve not tested cause i only use analog output.

Agree! Dolby Atmos does improve sound quality. But we can’t hear it’s true potential until we can solve “tuning data is missing” problem. As for UWP apps, they r in test (beta) mode. Also, while i’m looking inside of Atmos profiles xml files, i found settings for virtual top and bottom speakers which will be the same as Atmos Sound Technology. The only problem is that the app doesn’t work fully as Dolby Audio do, so its hard to compare between them.
In Dolby Audio, turning all effects to off and turning the Dolby Audio completely off doesn’t sound the same. It still preserve sound quality when turning all effects to off.
In Dolby Atmos (currently), turning all effects off and turning completely off are the same. It doesn’t preserve sound quality.
So I guess, we have to wait until the Dolby Atmos app to work flawlessly to immerse in it’s awesome sound system. Or do we have to buy Atmos enable speakers n receivers? :D:D

@blaqsky so the way the new inf file(8403) alan made works for me is if i already have dolby atmos uwp app installed with a previous mod driver and then install the new driver and it instantly works.

Just letting you know, cause it may be the same case with other people trying to get the mod driver.
Just Happy it works, Sound is loud on low volume and so clear.
