Man I'm so lost in this thread, I understand nothing of what's going on, only thing I wanted is to be able to have an audio as good as Dobly Atmos, now, can some one explain to me how to do it? I ended up downloading all enhancers from post #788 (if I'm not mistaken) and I just don't know how to install them or which works with which. I don't really need anything amazing, better than my Laptop default is great. The easier the better too. Thanks!

@Dj Urko It is surround sound upmixer; properly configured it upmixes audio to all channels, including side/rear channels. I use it for upscaling stereo-5.1 on my audio system.
check those settings:
For 5.1
Code:
<endpoint type="internal_speaker" brand="Generic" model="Default" operating_mode="normal" fs="48000" total_count="6" front_count="3" side_count="2" height_count="0" has_subwoofer="1">
Also check this:
Code:
<surround-decoder-enable value="1"/>
All previous settings such as headphone surround virtualiser, dialog enhancer, volume leveler, graphic equaliser is present in xml.
Only missing is three additional Intelligent Equaliser presets.
I stopped using PCEE4 for audio processing because is has a defect that I cannot personally accept: It cannot handle float audio data properly; audio samples louder than 0dBFS clips with PCEE4. This bug was removed in all later versions of Dolby software.
@ReconNyko All Dolby software does upmixing. PCEE3 and earlier uses Dolby ProLogic. PCEE4 and later versions use Dolby Next Gen surround Decoder. This decoder is the basis for current atmos upmixing on receivers.

Dolby Digital Plus software does not seem to do surround-up mixing.
I heard a 2-channel music file, but I can not hear the center and Rear sound.
I think that surround-up mixing is probably the Dolby Digital Plus codec built into the hardware receiver.

I had Dolby digital plus and home theather 4 on old gigabyte board,and they arent good for stereo to 5.1 upmixing.

I post driver on this page with controled prologic IIx were you can fade dimension from front to rear and hear voices also.Natural bass is realy good bass crossover.

I am using right now DDP app to do upmixing of 2 channel music to 5.1.
Check your config. DDP must be the first or only APO that audio passes through.
Reference Page 8 explains the decoder.

There's a Thing, what's interesting me a Lot: Isn't it possible to integrate Versions of some APO's for handling & Upmixing (into) 7.1-Ch-Surround, by Example DPLIIx/z, or DTS Neo:6 or Logic7, or even other? I wish 2 hear it soon :)

Thank you so much for these!

I have the exact same problem.
What I did to workaround it for now was to go into Sound Devices, Properties on Speakers and "Enhancements" tab, select Disable all sound Effects.
Dolby Home Theater do not work, but Dolby Home Theater v4 does work, same for Harman Effects.

I wanted the drivers anyway for Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 over Optical.

My Motherboard is a ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger

Hi, I have just tried this but no effects are coming out. Creative says "Your audio device cannot be detected. Please check your connection". Am I supposed to see a Creative device in Device Manager? All I need really is the Enhancements tab in the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel. I have been trying for around 2 months and installed about 15 versions of the drivers, with no success. The closest results I got were with the old drivers prior to version 2.82. My system is a Microsoft Surface Pro 6.

No. Because Creative effect libraries are integrated into the Realtek driver.

Friend. Please check this directory: "%programdata%\Creative\SoftwareLock" for the KGA files

Did you uninstall the previous drivers on your system?

I started with a fresh install and yes the SoftwareLock folder is full of kga files of 1k each. In v2 of your drivers I now have a new tab in the Realtek HD Control Panel. There are presets and they're good. What I am really missing is a graphic equalizer.

I just noticed something else and I thought of letting you know. In the presets window you have a slight masking of the background. See screenshot here.

I have the exact same problem, the audio is heard noisy and as distorted … Dolby Digital Plus do not work, but Dolby Home Theater v4 does work, same for Harman Effects is heard noisy and distorted. I disable all effect!!!!!

I wanted the drivers anyway for together Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 …. I only use Optical s/pdif and my external receiver is Pioneer VSX-922K.

The last original AUDIO_Realtek_HDA_FF03_v6.0.1.8633_WHQL (asus=ff03 nahimic) is very good for normal stereo signal on Asus … it is possibile activate the Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 in this driver???
