Let me know if this modded realtek drivers does improve the audio quality and is worth it for my scenerio.
I Have old PC with Asus P8H77-M Pro Motherboard with audio codec Realtek® ALC892
I Also have the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeAudio PCI-E sound card with is so so OLD.

I dont watch movies, nor listen to music with PC so no use of Realtek / Creative sound card.
For that I have TV with hooked up Xiaomi MiBox and from that Im listeing to music, watch movies via Connected Aplifier, have all the standards DTSMaster/True/Atmos etc

On my PC I only play games with Headphones, and use the Creative Sound Card as It performes better in my opinions when possitioning and bass (old creative app have X-Fi CMSS-3D and X-Fi Crystalizer) with the Sonic windows 10 sound feature it sounds not so bad, but Here I see that some of you people have lot of Dolby features equalizers and other stuff that seems to have lot of usefull feature
will it improve if I jump from creative sound card to build-in Realtek with modded software and apps from here topic?

Modded audio drivers does improve sound quality with onboard realtek audio chip but it's not that good in delivering clear sound compare to hardware backed audio engines, these audio engines programmed to work with it's own audio chip because of it's compatibility it sound better, but if your willing, try it, you will notice what i'am trying to explain

Ok works for me dts + Sound blaster Connect UWP BUT I try to change configs dts and sbc and not change sound feels...same sound

Because it's Sound Blaster X720 not Sound Blaster Cinema 5, & also it needs new type of kga files to activate audio enhancing functionality

Hi Everyone and thanks for such detailed post. I´m about to make some driver changes based on your recommendations but first would like to review some matters with you:
- I have a MSI 990FX with the Realtek® ALC892 codec. Using Windows10.
- It´s linked through Coaxial SPDIF to a Sony Home theatre amplifier 5.1 dolby digital (ht ddw685) and I´m listening DTS audio for movies mainly using the AC3 codec.
- I understand Realtek ALC892 can handle 7.1 channels, but my receiver only handles 5.1 and have no support for Dolby Atmos.

My questions:
- Should I go for this driver?
- Which would be the benefits I should expect by installing them?
- Is someone with the same motherboard already installed them?

Thanks a lot and looking forward to heard from you.
Ariel

Equalizer APO you can boost your audio that way been doing that for years. Seems to be a config for it with APO driver.

ITS weird when i do a sound test on EQ apo the sound from left and right Chanel comes all mixed, like when i play left its in both sides.

DTS Digital Entertainment.ini, DTS Boost Tab

But where and how to get these?

U need to activate the "IN-App-Purchase" of the App "Dolby Access", and so you can setup Dolby Atmos either for your Headphone, or the AV-Receiver. I've done, and it's a very great Feeling

Hello I have Asus Z170 progaming. Can I activate Sonic Suite R2 with ApoDriver? Which driver do you recommend? Thank you.

 

[ChairmanSaab]

To Windows 10 must use this in cmd: (Copy&paste in the cmd, and then press intro, u will see the commands are verified in the window os the cmd), then close it and restart to enter in test mode and NOW u can install the driver Realtek.

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON




I`ve installed ur driver, but the realtek sound manager (RtkNGUI64.exe) it does not open/run (yes! is installed and it appears in the taskbar); how i can fix this? (Now i tell u!).

Ur driver needs some files that i`ve added to the inf file, if not NEVER will open the realtek sound manager, here i upload the HDXRT.inf FIXED to install ur driver w/out problems. ZENks for the Driver @dododo .

Ah, another thing people must have in mind: The Files to activate the Sound BlasterX 720, to Windows 10 is necessary to change the files added into the subfolder WIN64 for the version 2.0.0.3 (MABAPO232.DLL&MBAPO264.DLL) if not the console NEVER Work OK; but if u`re installing the driver in a windows 7,8,8.1......... Don`t need to change these files.

Here u can Download the HDXRT4.inf, from my Mediafire:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/v85n4oruyms1jx4/HDXRT4.7z

Attentively,

Màthair.

2day i`ve discovered that the new version 2.1.7.0 that has released "Creative" does not have HOAL; with which the EAX does not rise in level and remains at 2.0 (minimum), so for those who have this version installed I recommend you download and install this HOAL that I created for the occasion, so you can put the EAX to 5.0.

Here the link:

Hey, can you help me with the file? The link you've posted is now private and i can't access it. Realtek GUI doesn't open for me either. I tried restarting and running RtkNGUI64.exe as administrator to no avail!

I'm getting this error,even though signature certification enforcement is disabled. It refuses to install! I think i'm missing some files, can you link me to driver that you were using with this file? I want one for Dolby atmos, Thanks!

One or more files are missing.
Put the file HDXRT4 in folder of your older mod driver or download the full driver.

Hello guys,
There is a pack of .KGA compatible with all programs of Creative for Realtek Driver Mod? For example, SB 720º, X-FI MB5, X-FI MB3, Cinema 3 and Cinema 2.
When I open any program of Creative that is not SB 720º, I don't want the image error below to appear.
Currently, I have only SB 720º.
If there is, please send me a link to download.
Thanks.

Try to enable this setting in the realktek driver, check the image below. See if it helps!

The older Creative Sound Blaster X720 version cannot identify new version SBX720 driver.
Remove all software related to Creative Sound Blaster X720, download the new version here.
Remember to import registry key REG_CT_Render.reg on FX Configurator.
Make sure C:\Windows\System32\MBAPO264.dll and ‪C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MBAPO232.dll file version is 2.0.0.14

If still don't work, run cmd as admin, type
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\MBAPO264.dll
regsvr32 ‪C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MBAPO232.dll

Add Nahimic 3 - APO Driver 1.0.4

Nahimic 3 Control Panel is a UWP App
Nahimic 3 Sound Tracker support game list

I need to know this since I'm a huge fan of Nahimic 2, but would love to upgrade to nahmic 3 on my GT 72, when installing that APO driver, do I then have the possibility to install Nahimic 3??

Don't work.
Actually, I have Realtek Mod compatible with SB 720º and don't Cinema 2, I wish I had all the programs of Creative working, I don't know if it's possible.
Thank you for your help.
Sorry for my BAD English.

no Diogo. not possible for ALL Creative apps to work at the same time and recognize your Realtek audio device!
I know from experience. SBX 720 will recognize Realtek device but SBCinema2 won't work because of "too many KGA" files present in SoftwareLock folder and cause conflicts. I figured this out a few months ago.

Creative SB Cinema apps like SBCinema1, Cinema2 & Cinema3 HATE too many KGA files (and other Creative apps like SBX720)! And hence the "No Supported Audio Device Available" error message when running SB Cinema.

For X-FI MB5 to run have only this KGA file present in SoftwareLock folder (remove other KGA files and other Creative apps)

For SBCinema3 (not Cinema1/2/5 or other version present), have only THIS KGA file present (remove other KGA files and other Creative apps)

For SBCinema2 (not Cinema1/3/5 or other version present), have only THIS KGA file present (remove other KGA files and other Creative apps)

See the pics? I only use ONE Creative software at at time and I stick with it. NO NEED to run/use SBX720 & SBCinema at the same time, which leads to disaster.
People need to learn right away that having all those KGA files stored in SoftwareLock folder will not make older Creative apps like SBCinema and X-FI MB5 recognize Realtek audio device when using newer Realtek audio drivers.

Anyone got a fix for this? (dolby atmos)
