Hey Alan,
i totally understand you and that this driver work on your pc,but that is because many experiments you did with previous drivers mod and scripts and your windows registry recognise any next mod whenever is bad or good.
Did you tried it on fresh windows instalation on second partition?
Yes. Fine working.

Hey! I'm new here, quick question tho. A lot of you guys are using a desktop which has multiple analog and maybe even a digital audio port. However, I'm using a laptop hence i cant set my speakers to a 5.1 configuration because all i see is stereo. What i'm really asking is , is there a light at the end of the tunnel or is all lost and i just have to continue using virtual surround and using the different enhancements in the driver to keep myself company.

Do you have a 5.1 spdif receiver? If so, you can use a usb spdif out, with ddl applied. Or use a hdmi-spdif converter, also with ddl applied.
Or use an analog 5.1 usb sound card.

Can I still get DTS connect or Dolby Live to work on ALC887 on win10 or other 2/3gen MBs? Multiple channels over Pro Logic isn't really possible right?

How can I full uninstall this full SoundAlive thing?
I tried with IOBit, Device Manager and even with DDU + DSE all in 1...
And nothing has/had it erased...
I had even with a few other modded drivers paired, but it bugs me a whole lot with them...
Can you please help us?
I'm really worried :(

That's the program that I have tried it.
Any solutions to erase it?
Driver Sweeper is for me taboo, because it doesn't work with win 10 and it's replaced by DDU + DSE...
You need to end the system audio service, go to Registry Editor and walk to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio and delete the RENDER and CAPTURE keys. If it fails, you will need to go back to the AUDIO key and change the owner and audit permissions of the key. Once this is done, try again to delete the keys mentioned above.

For before I gave up of these with them after a ca. 4-5 hours re- and installing of these, because I suffered my PC from this destractions a bit and I had perfectly disastered SoundBlaster thank God for a good program and the next target is SoundAlive! ;)

How to search it?
Because it has/had only HKEY-s...

I'm running only in build 14393, afterwards it is for me impossible to make an only functioning Gamespirit's driver a-la R2.67 version or the other with SRS functioning drivers for MS' fault :(

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE=HKLM
Before doing any deletes, export(save) the key so as to have a backup. Right-click the key or go to file-export on top.

I had proved this and it's like a stick that cannot be removed of off your hand... :(
I'm running build 14393, so it is unpossible, that a few erasers are working there... :(
Maybe up to Creators Update or/and works only in October 2018 update, but I see that in my OP that has nothing's changed...
When I saw the settings in the Device Manager and from the picture that you posted, I thought that's something wrong here and when I step-by-step I came to myself that's has not in my build... :(

Maybe reinstall can help this erasing the full driver, but thanks anyway for your help, I had learned a few things about that:
Don't install SoundAlive with extras in your PC, because it is uninstallable and mixed with other mods...

Edit: I had again tried, but failed, this is not for me...

I've just ordered a "new" motherboard with Realtek ALC887 and I should have it tomorrow, I'll do clean install of windows 10 so SB PLEASE tell me which one of the drivers should I use? The one from this post or other posts, newest one or a bit older one? For now my motherboard has ALC887 without spdif (no internal one either) but just for a test I've tried some of these and the most recent one did not seam to install at all on mine PC as well as on my friend's similar PC, it did install drivers but did not install any SW. The "720" one did install fully but when tried to play anything it would only give me an error. I've also tried some of these older ones and at one point one of them seamed to work as it has shown me "Dolby Pro Logic" option but then I tried some other ones was never able to make it work again.
