The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

[vexa]

Hi, I simply want a little improvement over my dull, plain realtek onboard soundcard, yet there are too many files and tutorials here and for a total newbie like me, it's kinda confusing to choose which one to install and how to get them work. I just can't "try each one of these and if it doesn't work, reinstall ur windows, lol". This is my work PC, I can't reinstall them. I see UWP, APO, what are those? are there any link that contains all information regarding this topic? is there any AIO installer to install any APO, UWP, etc?
Sorry if I sound stoopid, I'd like to learn more but I don't have time to scroll through 60 pages is there a FAQs somewhere?

My current situation: i've uninstalled my realtek driver, so it's now on windows audio driver. I want to try some enhancements like SB720, maybe? What files are needed and where can I get those? Do I still need to reinstall realtek driver alongside these mods? Too many questions.

setup:
MSI H61M-P31 G3 (ALC887)
old 2.1 speaker and some cheap over ear headphone.
Windows 10 RS5

I would recommend you to make a separate thread so as to be able to discuss your case individually. That said, I would recommend you to go to this youtube page to have an idea of any audio enhancer.
Your case seem to benefit more of APO driver installation (Making Audio Enhancers Work on Windows). APO Enhancer is best for cases where there is headphone/stereo speaker.
This page is quite old and DJ Urko has never updated his/her mod.
APO driver is the most regularly updated version.
Other pages (unlocked DDP/DTS Connect) are not for you; you use 2.1; these pages are for optical 5.1.
APO driver works fine on stock Windows driver; I am using APO driver on stock Windows driver.

When you reply, do not forget to include usage (movie, music, game). Better recommendations can be given.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply, I really appreciate it. Still got some questions but I'm moving to @alanfox2000 thread, Making Audio Enhancers Work on Windows.

Hi everyone!

I have a weird issue that's restricting me from being able to use ATMOS Spatial Audio on my AMD GPU HDMI main output. Tried everything to fix it but to no avail. So i'm looking for a way around it, can't hold my breath for Microsoft or Dolby to fit it.

I noticed that this RealTek Driver mod was also able to work via S/pdif and HDMI and also NVIDIA HDMI.

Is there any way to make it work for the AMD High Definition Audio Device / HDMI?

Cheers.

Hi ladies and gentlemen and enthusiasts of sound,

I am DJUrko. I am providing you my new modification of the brand new version ... of the Realtek HD audio driver. Specially designed for Windows 10 including the new standards SFX, MFX and EFX. The plugins I’ve introduced are: SRS Premium Sound, Dolby Audio X2, Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater and Audio by Harman. In the archive you’ll find installation instructions, see folder Extras. Also you need to disable Secure Boot option in the BIOS. I hope you’ll like it all.

For DTS Connect via SPDIF, you have to replace the original files RltkAPO.dll and RltkAPO64.dll by your modified ones in the folder WIN64. However, you will lose the SRS Premium Sound effect.

I hope that you still have the integrated Dolby Digital Live output via SPDIF, when having installed the Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater at the same time. I would be happy to look with those of you who know about modifying these files, to work together on the integration of effects Sonic Focus and PCEE4 (Dolby Home Theater V4). Because I’ve got problems with those. I think that parameters like EP0 and EP1 are required also.

I hope you’ll be satisfied.

Do you know if it's this mod is compatible with Creative Programs, Like Sound Blaster MB-XFI5 or the Lasted Sound BlasterX 720º?
Thanks for sharing this Mod, because I need Surround Sound in Analog and HDMI Cables.

Thanx a lot for your response
I never use Creative programs, so try it whatever
I have myself finally forced to modding since last November and the result is very-very tricky, because you don't know what's happening with the results...
I tried the Urko mod in win 7 with Dolby/DTS 5.1 and my laptop has/had freezed...
Anyway I try this again in win 10 when i'm done with my computer fitting up and share it in public here with or without credits from Urko

Cheers

Open the other file, that extension is .AppxBundle
NOTE: These APPS is only compatible with Windows 10.

I have searched all the folders no such file with .appxbundle extension. I'm on Windows 10.

Hello!
Sorry if this has been asked before but I have my head spinning downloading drivers that ultimately don't resolve my issues!

AsRock Z370 Extreme4 with ALC1220
NE5532 Premium Headset Amplifier for Front Panel

This board/chipset combo seems to be plagued with audio issues (mostly popping and clicking noises) and the problem is that I can't find any Realtek drivers that don't cause unusable interference when connecting headphones to the front panel.
It's not a hardware issue as the generic Microsoft HD Audio drivers work almost perfectly.
AsRock says nothing is wrong despite their forum members saying differently, and they removed the older drivers that apparently worked ok for whatever reason.

I have tried so many different drivers that I've lost track of what I have tried and what I haven't.

Appreciate if anyone could please direct me to a driver for my setup that works. I don't need Dolby or DTS since I only connect headphones to the front panel and desktop speakers to the rear motherboard connection.

Win 10 1809 (x64)

Thanks!

Not impressive, at all. The only thing this software does is to increase the bass and modify your EQ so you "feel" more immersive, surround sound is not there at all. When you turn off the front R channel, there is still so much sound from front R channel speaking on other channels.
Uninstalled after 5mins.

Totally agree, it happened to me, because I have 5.1 Surround System and when I installed the Boom 3D the program only Output in Stereo.

Do these new versions still work on windows 1607 (alc887)? Since my latest mobo drivers need a newer version of windows, and they weight ~20MB rather than the canonical 200MB
