sou

use the high quality and volume preset in post #823. Make sure to edit it(use 7.1 setup below) and save then put it in Dolbyaposvc folder and replace previous XML file and follow this for 7.1
7.1 speakers: total_count="7" front_count="2" side_count="2" height_count="2" has_subwoofer="1"
when done restart Dolby services and windows audio. Or restart your pc. And enjoy amazing sound.

You need to edit it's xml to 7.1 speaker setup

How can i make Dolby Digital Live work with dolby atmos for gaming? I need 5.1 on optical cable because my front panel doesn't work and my headphones are plug in back. I tried for hours to make it work.

Currently i have 6.0.1.8470 patched with patcher in asodriver 2.1.7 but when i instal dolby for atmos, Dolby Digital Live 5.1 disappear in default format. I also tried DolbySetup - Only Realtek.exe

Edit: Also i cant change volume level when Dolby Digital Live 5.1 is set.

Hello I bought Razer kraken 7.1 v2. They are connected threw a USB. Dolby gaming doesnt seem to work with it. is there any other mod that works for USB 7.1 connection? Else I will keep Razer Synapse. Looks solid with these headphones

it uses its own drivers to configure with the headset

Some advice please.
I try to figure out if any of the talked about configurations might work for me and the closest I came to is that probably none do.

I have an old laptop with Win 7.1 x64 that a Realtek ALC880(D) audio chip. Busted builtin speakers so I use headphones (Sennheiser HD 280 Pro).
At the moment, I have installed and use the Bongiovi DPS Enhancer (with its preset for the HD 280 Pro).
I can't complain about it but I'm curious if I can use any of the Atmos or other Dolby/DTS installations talked about in the thread.

Is it a necessity to have Dolby compatible hardware and/or Dolby speakers/headphones?
If I can use my hardware, which one would you think would be a more complete and better-sounding setup?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

 

[Supermanss]

Yes since you have windows 7 you need compatible hardware for dolby atmos and audio(you don't need if you have win10). You can still use Dolby Advance and theatre

1. Go to Uninstall or Modify Driver.
2. Add Dolby Home Theater V4 / Dolby Advanced Audio V2.
3. Open FX Configurator.
4. In the left Window, scroll down to Composite Endpoint FX APO, and clear anything in it (usually it would be {D9916F9C-99F7-11E7-BF21-6C0B849889E1}).
5. Replace Composite Endpoint FX APO contents with {56E00778-C664-4BB5-AA2B-CA6F14840BB3}.
6. Also paste {56E00778-C664-4BB5-AA2B-CA6F14840BB3} into Global FX APO.
7. Confirm that Endpoint FX APO Processing mode has {C18E2F7E-933D-4965-B7D1-1EEF228D2AF3} ONLY. Clear the rest ({4780004E-7133-41D8-8C74-660DADD2C0EE},{B26FEB0D-EC94-477C-9494-D1AB8E753F6E}).
Click Apply Effect And Processing Modes Configurations.
8. Click <<Restart Windows Audio Service>>.
9. Dolby Digital is supposed to be available. You can select and apply it.
10. Configure Dolby Atmos for Gaming for 5.1 operation.

For 5.1 or 7.1 speaker, edit default.xml
For 5.1 or 7.1 speakers - Dolby DAX API Service 2.xxxx.yyy.z
change from ch_count="2" to
5.1 speakers: ch_count="5"
7.1 speakers: ch_count="7"
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" to
7.1 speakers: total_count="7" front_count="2" side_count="2" height_count="2" has_subwoofer="1" to

P.s I have set my ch_count to 6; usually LFE is also a channel, and I have tested that on my system, which is quite similar to yours (dolby atmos for gaming with DDL).
So what are we doing?
We are using the dolby supplied DDL encoder provided with Dolby Home Theater V4. This solution is universal; you can use it even on HDMI outpoints. Useful if your audio receiver is connected via HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel).

Thank you Supermanss.

In the Audio Enhancers download page, I see Dolby Advanced Audio 2 and also Dolby Home Theater v4.
Both their descriptions say "Dolby Home Theater v4/Dolby Advanced Audio v2".

Is it one or the other, or both that are needed?
Would they work along with the Bongiovi DPS Enhancer or I have to remove it?

 

[Supermanss]

You choose one of the 2. I think they work best on their own

You dont need to remove it you can if you want. It will be automatically disable since you install realtek drivers

No luck so far with Dolby Home Theater v4.

If I install it, it's missing the Dolby Audio drivers and doesn't run.

I found out there is a Dolby PCEE driver that has to be installed before the Home Theater v4.
I got a copy of it, I cleaned the installed drivers, and the PCEE installed fine as well as the Home Theater v4. But now the Dolby Audio driver can't be started.

Then I saw that the Home Theater is v7.2.8000.17 whereas the PCEE is a year older and v7.2.7000.4.
Maybe that's what causes the problem?

I located a newer PCEE that's also v7.2.8000.17 but it's missing the drivers needed for Home Theater. It only has the drivers needed for Dolby Advanced Audio v2.

So, is there somewhere a full set of PCEE that I can try or is the problem something else?

Thanks.

Thank you very much.

Its working even with uad drivers.

Edit: Dolby atmos wont work with netflix uwp app
Edit2: Now volume control wont work only when using netflix uwp app
Edit3: Unchecking "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" helps with netflix issues.
Edit4: Are there any method to set room correction? Setting balance resseting when volume is set to 0? Maybe there is a way to set minimum volume to 1?

Most probably Netflix uses Protected Audio Path, which will check for APO signature. As the APOs we use aren't properly signed, Windows bypass them. Also it is possible that Netflix is doing bitstreaming, which will also prevent any audio modification, including volume control.

dolby atmos effect works with netflix, you just have to reinstall apo and dolby preset is loud enough to make sure the effect works.

i have realtek uad+dolby atmos for gaming installed.

For me is working now with unchecking "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device". I dont know if this method have any drawbacks.
Are you using optical output and netflix app(not a www version) with 5.1?

Exclusive mode is required for bit-streaming. I would assume that bit-streaming is in operation.

I'm answering myself

For people with my case:

1. You need the Dolby PCEE driver to be installed (with the appropriate option selected), before you install Home Theater v4 or Dolby Advanced Audio v2.
2. The Dolby PCEE driver and the program you install for it (HT v4 or DAA v2) must be the same release. If they aren't, the program will be unable to start the driver.
3. In my case, since I couldn't find a x64 version of PCEE for v7.2.8000.17, I had to use v7.2.7000.4 for both driver and program. Now they both work fine.

It would still be nice to try the newer versions so I'll keep looking.

Regards.

I have a laptop Xiaomi mi notebook pro 15.6 and there support for surround sound Dolby Atmos, can I somehow improve the sound? Thank you)

Install APO driver, select HT v4 AAv2 driver and use the Product Config tool before install the app.
The app control panel x86 can be use on both x86 and x64 system
APP Control Panel 7.2.8000.17 x86 http://www.mediafire.com/folder/dboac2thefywo/Dolby_Home_Theater_v4_%5BDesktop%5D_%5BAPO%5D&sa=D&ust=1535388095260000

Dolby Tuning and Profile creator do not do driver check. Select the Dolby Home Theater v4 / Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Apo driver, and use it with Dolby Tuning and Profile creator.
The APO Driver contains the v7.2.8000.17 version.

I will buy Sound BlasterX H7 Tournament Edition headset. What is better to use BlasterX Acoustic Engine (OEM) software or Sound blaster connect Cinema 5 (alanfox2000) ? Can I use fxconfigurator with USB connect headset?

BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro software has a specified SBXH7.cfg EQ parameter for Sound BlasterX H7 headsets.
Sound Blaster Connect software also has a Sound BlasterX H7 headsets settings. If you want to use Sound Blaster Connect software, use FX Configurator and it will cause BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro not work properly.


If you get the newest Dolby App. If the app name include "Dolby Audio", this ad will show.
Ads: "Get Dolby Atmos for Headphones"

This ads sell Dolby Access on ms store (spatial sound)
However, the ad don't show dolby app which the app name include "Dolby Atmos"

Nice! Can I use usb method (no jack) ?

You can try it, just select the correct endpoint for your USB headphone on FX Configurator.
