Appreciate your patience! All I need to do is uninstall my realtek drivers, restart my PC and install yours?
YES

Also, Im going to start a clean Windows installation right now. This mod driver works on 1809 Version?
YES, WORKS FINE.

If the sound is down, just open the Realtek panel and tinker with the overall volume.

Right, ty! Also, do you recommend using the 'mix listen to' to get digital sound with an analog output?
"Mix Listen To". What is it?

Thanks dude!

Alan,

What in heck did you do to the Realtek drivers??? It's damn good lol. Much better than default Realtek drivers.

Realtek still claims it is in Dolby Digital Live instead of DTS. I have the ASUS version of the ALC892. Is it normal to still show Dolby Digital Live instead of DTS?

Alan's drivers also makes less or doesn't have popping sounds when playing a cnn clip or video. Realtek stuff has a 40% chance of making a loud annoying clip or popping noise before playing the video. I think i'll hang around here for a while...

I really don't know where my fault is, but only realtek driver works. If I change settings for Dolby or for Soundblaster nothing happens. Is there something else I have to do beside to install driver and reboot system? Also HD Audio Manager won't work and won't open. Any suggestions?

For everybody with same problems: this Mod is working for me with sound blaster.

Alan, is there any chance we could get Dolby Digital Plus instead of Dolby Digital Theatre? Plus seems to give a better sound experience, and is newer too

its a request please........kindly add "dts studio sound "to your realtek hd advanced driver v6.0.1.8603 posted above.
i would like to use it with v6.0.1.8603 .dts studio sound for me increases sound volume & surround sound nicely on stereo mode.
i have been using v8366 for past 5-6 months & would like to switch to this version.

respect to all ur efforts................................

Yes DTS would be better than Dolby Digital Live imho, since DTS has a higher bit rate. I would love to see this too, if possible!

The GenKGA.exe file stops responding during installation.
After that, the installation is normal and the sound and sound effects work normally.
However, due to authentication issues, Sound Blaster X 720º not work.
Is there any way to authenticate GenKGA?

GenKGA requires administrative privileges, run the installer as an administrator.

Try the file below (You may have to disable your antivirus TEMPORARILY)
1º - Go to "%programdata%\Creative\SoftwareLock" and copy the GenKGA executable to this folder.
2º - Execute it as administrator and after that delete GenKGA.exe ONLY

Thank you for the latest sound driver update Alan!

I think the previous version based on Realtek 8591 sounds better than the most recent RealtekDriver_PCEEv4_SA_SBC_SZVZ which is based on 8603 when tested without any form of enhancements imho I love testing both!
