@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.
Glad u could made it!:toast:
I’ve manually updated SBX720 two days ago. Currently i’m testing Creative Soundblaster Z and audigy FX cards from my friend. The original softwares (driver bundled) are far better than our SBX720.
I hope someone can mod Creative drivers to work with realtek chips somedays :D

If you still have the problem after doing this edit C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc\Default.xml and you change ch_count="2" to ch_count="5", restart DolbyDAXAPI services. @Jayce has 5.1 setup and now his Dolby Atmos UWP work.


I can help you further.

install this driver mod from this link and make sure dolby atmos uwp app is installed while this one is installed from device manager, then after this installed restart and test it out then install the new inf.file that alan just release and restart and test to see if it works. Make sure you copy the inf file for Windows 10 to win64 for the first mod.(Just make sure you don't uninstall any software while doing this, since this method worked for me, could as well work for you.)http://www.mediafire.com/file/kdak4a48e83xq93/[2018-03-18]realtek_hda_vac.7z

For 5.1 no effect & sound fix:

Modded Driver Cleaning Tool
For uninstall sound enhancer & fresh install another modded driver

http://www.mediafire.com/file/32cdl5j4yyxwllt/CleaningTool.rar

1. Use the Cleaning Tool, follow the usage.txt guide ( cleaning software & APO dll files & realtek hda drivers)
2. Try to install the default HDXMB3H.inf through device manger
3. Download another HDXMB3H.inf from below, use this another HDXMB3H.inf install over previous HDXMB3H.inf modded driver.
4. Make sure you have set 5.1 settings on Realtek Control Panel + intsall DTS Audio & Turn off DTS Audio + SBX720 speakers setting - 5.1,
edit C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc\Default.xml and you change ch_count="2" to ch_count="5" & restart DolbyDAXAPI services.
5. If it still no sound effect, it may caused by SBX720. On SBX720 Setting, click another speakers settings & wait a while & change it back to 5.1.

another HDXMB3H.inf ( DTS + SBX720 + Dolby UWP ) ( Viper4Windows do not inculded)
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...driver-mod-for-windows-10.232921/post-3822657

5.1 through SDIF:

The sound effect already installed on spdif. And you need Unlock Dolby Digital Live & DTS Interactive ( 5.1 Surround ) Format output & your realtek chip required to support one of this format to get 5.1 sound Surround through spdif.
Download the patcher, patch RltkAPO64.dll on my Modded driver. Right Click playbacks devices - > properties -> Format Tab -> Dolby Digital Live or DTS Interactive ( 5.1 Surround ). If your devices not support, it will pop up a msgbox "devices not supported" when you selected.

Hi There,

Since updated Sound Blaster Connect 2 version 3.2.21.0 does not install connection service by default, u won’t hear difference in SBX720.
Install this old version first (disable antivirus)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/a44h636fmd24dit/Creative_SBX720.zip
Then uninstall only sound blaster connect 2, ( don’t uninstall connection service, alchemy, open al...etc) after that install the new SBC 3.2.21.0.

Hi! @blaqsky
Can you fix the .inf file at post#845?
Because it has still errors
If that is setup.exe error, try placing ur hardware ids in HDXMB3H.inf file. (may be HDXRT or HDXRT4.inf) just search for [AzaliaManufacturerID.NTamd64.10.0] line.

I only use personalize profile always cause i can manually adjust the equalizer, surround, volume leveler...etc. I don’t like how the intelligent Equalizer works in any other profiles.

thank you.my problem soved.But dts only stereo source.
Saddly DTS app is for analog stereo only. If u have a 5.1 setup, it will automatically disable. Use SBX720 instead.

It’s the same as the respective profiles. For movies turn all effects on. For music, surround n dialogue enhancer turn off + manual eq. For games, only dialogue turn off.

This is while using just personalize profile.
