Making Audio Enhancers Work on Windows

[ReconNyko]

OMG it's working. thanks a lot @alanfox2000

Does it really work?
really ?

Today, I tested it again on Virtual Machine. Dll replaced and start dolby access app. When the Dolby Access start, Dolby Atmos for Headphones will be found spatial sound format. However, I right click the bottom right speaker icon, Dolby Atmos for Headphones is showed below "Try & Buy from store" on context menu.
And my PC show Dolby Atmos for Headphones is above "Try & buy" on context menu.

Then,
I remember I have installed Dolby Atmos Speaker System before I installed dolby access.
I tested VM again.
Install Dolby Atmos Speaker System. After that, login to M$ store in order to download & install Dolby Access.

I remember these ad (Buy Dolby Atmos for Headphones) show on Dolby Audio

Here is the Notice from Dolby Atmos Speaker System. It said don't work on licensed devices.

My PC has been installed Dolby Atmos Speaker System so my devices get licensed. My assumption is Dolby Atmos for Headphones for free on Dolby Atmos licensed devices.

Windows 10 Pro 1809-17763.194
I have not installed a Dolby Atmos speaker system.

Is this the cause of the problem?

No need to do like that, All you need to do is:

1.uninstall Dolby access first( if you installed it)
2.install Dolby atmos speaker system or Dolby atmos
3. try install dolby access from microsoft store again then it will tell you to restart your pc
4. Restart pc done

Just tested. Dolby Atmos for Headphones is now unlocked.
I did not even install Dolby Access (did not even try it). I only had Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming. I just installed Dolby Access and all was unlocked.
P.s. all dlls are stock dlls on my system.

i have a question. What does doing these installation steps do? Does this allow you use Dolby Atmos for headphones with 5.1 setup? or does it allow you to use both Dolby Atmos for headphones and Dolby Atmos speaker system/Gaming together?

Dolby Atmos for Headphone is a 15$ product. It is purchased from Dolby Access app.
These methods allows unlocking Dolby Atmos for Headphone for free.
It it of less interest to home theater users, more for headphones users.

It work on old sound card x-fi still rock Thanks Alan

For my sound device, in the sound device properties, it says speakers/Headphones, but I only use speakers. So it probably won't work with external speakers right?

It could work, but it's not designed for speakers.

Hello,
I want to select my output device in the endpoints of the FXConfigurator, but there are so many entries in the table. How can I find the right one?

You are making the APO driver and now new driver mods. What do you recommend for what purpose?

well so far, he has only one modded driver mod, which is for creative soundblaster.

If I remember well, this is also available in APO driver, so why now a modded driver?

Maybe it is strictly without the apo driver that sometimes causes a stutter in audio at time when something is playing.

First off, thank you for your incredible support. I have spent 3 hours reading this thread.
Your Viper4Windows works flawless, finally an update.

Soundblaster Connect 2 I got to work as well via FX Configurator.

Now I have one problem, I don't know how to combine two audio effects.

I read this article, but this seems outdated:
http://puresoftapps.blogspot.com/2018/05/customize-your-multiples-audio-effects.html

My FX Configurator doesn't look like that.

1. I tried put the combined values into Composite***, apply effects, restart sound services, neither app works
2. I tried put them under processin, neither app works again

I always have to re-do Product Config Tool to apply only one effect.

Any idea?

( I have Realtek ALC BlasterX 720 HD Audio driver installed from RealtekDriver720_2.exe, only this works with Sound Blaster Connect. Dolby Atmos works too, but can't get any of the Dolby Apps to open).

// As I see, multiple effects is not supported anymore.

 

[CityCultivator]

@bluebusiness
Try this first.
If it does not work, Try this one. This one could allow Viper4Windows to work, but some audio effects of Soundblaster may not work properly.
If both does not work ,Soundblaster X-FI MB2 + Viper4Windows.ini.txt will most possibly work.
Now if it still doesn't work, I can't help anymore. Try Installation with Virtual Audio Cable.

 

[bluebusiness]

@CityCultivator Thanks so much!

Unfortunately the ini files didn't work. First two, only Sound Blater Connect worked. Last one only V4W.

BUT with the Virtual Audio Cable, it works perfect

// I can confirm though, using both SB Connect 2 and Viper4Windows adds cracking every few seconds.

Hi,

I'm trying to get SB X-Fi II (MB2) to work on windows 10. My windows 10 version is Pro 64 bit 1809.
Currently I am using Realtek Audio driver "8597_FF10_PG468_Win10_RS2_RS3_RS4_RS5_Win7_WHQL" that I downloaded from @alanfox2000 github. FF10 = Creative.

Then I've tried to install original "SB_XFi-II_R09_XPVistaWin7" software that came with the Asus Rampage III Formula CD and the only thing functioning on the SB console is the volume control. Other effects not working including THX truStudio Pro.

Please how can I get all effects on SB X-Fi 2 working on win 10 pro 1809? Thank you.

Did you patch the DLLs?

There's the GenKG or something .exe which has a description how to patch it inside.

You meant this post here? https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...s-work-on-windows.244309/page-25#post-3875460

I have no problem activating the SB x-fi II that came along with original motherboard CD. The original one has shortcut icon that when you double click on it, it will auto register the software.

So by putting the KGA on the above post to "ProgramData->Creative->Softwarelock" folder would get all the effects back?

I'm confuse.

Hello everyone. i have an MSI Ge62VR with 6.0.1.8328 Realtek drivers.

I solved the problem installing version 7.6.5.1 of Dolby digital plus home theater, now everything works
