Okay, I will try that out.

I also want to know if realtek audio driver works with it. Because i Couldn't get any sound from Realtek audio driver with Dolby Atmos for gaming. But was able to get sound from high definition audio driver.

After no error show up on Dolby App, then change the xml file if you have 5.1 or 7.1 speakers

For 5.1 or 7.1 speakers - Dolby DAX API Service 3.xxxxx.yyy.z
change from total_count="2" front_count="2" side_count="0" height_count="0" has_subwoofer="0" to
5.1 speakers: total_count="5" front_count="2" side_count="2" height_count="0" has_subwoofer="1"
7.1 speakers: total_count="7" front_count="2" side_count="2" height_count="2" has_subwoofer="1"

You need to add a Realtek EFX GUID {A29EB043-6CE2-4ee2-B38C-F58719E0D88F} on Composite Endpoint FX APO to prevent no audio out

Apply Effect and Processing Modes Configurations
Restart Audio Services
Restart DolbyDAXAPI Services

Make sure you have used the fixed Dolby Atmos for Gaming 3.xxxxx.yyy.z preset
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ha2hw3dhd3mma0u/Dolby_UWP_Apps_External_Speakers_Settings.rar/file

Delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dolby\DAX3\Runtime.xml
Restart dolbydaxapi service

A huge thanks for all your hardwork, you deserve more than apprecation

I have tested the 2 apo dll enhancement options not shown on non VIA chips, which only show disable all enhancement check box on the Tab on my realtek chip.
Just look APO Driver as audio driver plugin
VIA HD Audio Driver with builtin VIA apo + APO Driver plugin
Realtek HD Audio Driver with builtin Realtek apo + APO Driver plugin

Help with issues. i tried with no problem, just the UWP Dolby Atmos 3.xx version but whenever i open Spatial sound tab it revert back to windows sonic and ask me to download dolby access. Atmos work after i install the driver but i cannot open the sounds tab or restart. then it will revert back to windows sonic and detect i don't have dolby access installed.

v2 preset is better than v3, I tested it many times, v2 high quality preset has louder volume, v3 high quality preset is not at all good, it does not sounds loud despite of editing it to high quality, i'am using v2 high quality preset

[OMER]

That isn't entirely true. I have had Nahimic 3 working on ALC892 perfectly. It required the generic UAD driver to be installed as his (the owner of the system) processing configuration was LFX GFX which doesn't work with Nahimic 3.

The initial version Alanfox2000 uploaded worked on LFX GFX processing path too.

Want me to upload a video of installing Nahimic 3 UWP app offline?

no thanks, Romulus2K4. I found the problem - I did not mention what version of Windows I was using when I had the problem back then.
I did not use the latest version of Windows 10 (I had the Win10 v1709 release which Nahimic 3 didn't recognize my onboard ALC892 chip. I got Nahimic 3 working on my Gigabyte board after upgrading from v1709 to v1803 version of Win10, then re-installing APO driver and Nahimic 3 & things started to work). Guess I really needed to use the Windows 10 April 2018 Update / Redstone 4 version for Nahimic 3.

I have old Gigabyte M78SM-S2H board with ALC888 and all uwp and desktop enhancers work for me without problem and with ms hd audio driver and alanfox apo driver.

what version of Windows did you have?
I upgraded to Windows 10 build 17134 (aka. 1803 / Redstone 4) and then re-installed APO driver & Nahimic 3; then Nahimic 3 UWP app worked on my Gigabyte board. I could not get Nahimic 3 to work with an older release of Windows 10, so I had to update to the newest version of Win10.

i noticed that dolby atmos for gaming sound effect doesn't work for netflix app, the sound is so low in the app. But when i am playing from chrome, the sound loud and clear.

Can someone tell me why or if there is a way to fix thisl?
Also when i enable or disable(Causes audio output streams to check if channel layouts other than the default hardware layout are available.) Feature in chrome://flags, the sound doesn't work, like YouTube videos, just load but no sound, so then I have redo the fx configurator process to make Dolby Atmos for gaming to work again.

I think this issue with v3 Dolby uwp app & fx configurator 2.1.6, uninstall 2.1.6, & install fx configurator 2.1.3, see if it has same problems as v3 dolbies, use 2.1.3 I'f you want problem less Dolby v2

I think Netflix disables audio enhancers

It's fine I'll use v3. Netflix on chrome still works. As long v3's problems will get fixed soon.

wow even videos out side of chrome don't play, for example when you try to play a video from mpc-hc or windows movie and tv app, it just loads and sound or video. @alanfox2000 please fix these issues.
