Someone who knows from where I can get DTS UWP APPS?

Can you unlock UWP DTS:X Ultra Sound Unbound, it's hardware specific

Hi ladies and gentlemen and enthusiasts of sound,

There is new updated Driver Mod to version 8627. In the package are included Dolby PCEE4, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS Headphone X and also Nahimic who optimises Nvidia HDMI Audio Driver. Dolby Digital Output via SPDIF and HDMI.

I'll try this on a Dell T7610 with this Realtek HD Audio:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0280&SUBSYS_102805D4&REV_1000

Nope, didn't work.

Guys, I've installed default realtek driver from motherboard dvd, but I'm still having this panel:

There is any way to get default realtek gigabyte panel again, without formating my pc? Thanks in advance.

Okay since nobody helped me, I went ahead and followed this instruction: https://www.gizdev.com/get-dolby-atmos-sound-system-dts-audio-with-realtek-mod-driver/amp/

I couldn't set up spatial sound to Dolby Atmos (in Dolby Access app) when my headphone is connected to the PC. Because it says "headphone, HDMI device or Atmos supported home theater system".

Unfortunately Realtek driver sets my Headphone as Speakers in Sound Settings. And spatial sound tab is greyed out.

I plugged the headphone to my monitor and voila! Set up spatial sound as Dolby Atmos and 7.1 surround.

All above was in Dolby Access app btw. Dolby Atmos for gaming set up.

Now I go to Dolby Atmos app, says connect to system jack. Until then equaliser greyed out.

Connect headphone to PC, option available.

But when I go to sound settings > Speakers > properties > spatial sound, it's greyed out again.

So is Dolby Atmos working for me? I'm confused. Can't even check games cause leaving for work a few moments later.

No it's not working, as Atmos support for games requires that the spatial sound tab not be greyed out.

What a headache! So how do I get it show up as Headphone instead of Speakers? I don't get it. Default Windows drivers correctly defines front panel 3.5mm as headphone and back panel 3.5mm as speakers but stupid realtek always sets both as speakers.

So do I use monitor HDMI as output?

But the Atmos UWP app says to "connect to system port to enjoy Dolby Atmos"

Even speakers can have Dolby Atmos for Headphones set.
If you can enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones on your monitor HDMI, do so and plug your headphone there. Do not use Dolby Atmos for Home Theater.
I am also having problems right now in enabling any spatial audio. I think I will correct that after I find a greater need to do a system reset. Dolby Atmos for Headphones is not critically needed right now personally.

Hey guys, I have finally managed to find the perfect driver however Windows is constantly deleting and installing the older driver as soon as I restart or switch on the internet. I am aware that the driver is unsigned and was hoping to be able to block Windows. So far I have done the following:

set a policy that does not allow Windows to change the driver of hardware matching the Device Hardware ID (copied from Device Manager) of both the good and bad driver;

set up the flag to block Windows Update from installing device drivers;

set Security permissions on the Realtek\HDA\ folder and its contents (deny write, modify, etc.);

deleted the .inf files from the DriverStore using DriverStore Explorer.

No luck. I guess it's something to do with the driver files in Windows\system Repository but not sure how to go about it.

Can anyone help please? @Alan Finote @alanfox2000 @CityCultivator @Dj Urko

Try this: Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate", create the following value: "ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate" as the DWORD value and set it to 1. Restart your computer

Looks like the issue for me is resolved. I told my sister (who also games on a different account) to fiddle around and after some research she enabled "front and rear different audio stream" or sth instead of "same audio stream" in Realtek audio manager. Now speakers and headphone both show up and spatial sound is selectable now.

That's in my Windows account btw. She says in her account spatial sound is windows sonic selected. And that Dolby Atmos for gaming got installed but not Dolby Access (the main app). Both got installed in my account ofc.

@Alan Finote No luck Alan. My driver installed normally but by the time I was past the lock screen after restarting, the driver was already deleted (deleted even before I got back into the desktop). The problem is not the updating of the driver (in fact, Windows did not install the old driver now). It's just that something is deleting it since it's unsigned. Windows Defender perhaps? I really don't know. Is it a difficult thing to sign a driver?

Update: I think I found the cause behind this. I think it was Windows Defender. I added exceptions for .inf and .dll and so far the driver was not deleted. @Alan Finote : Do I need to add more file types? Which files are normally unsigned in a device driver?

I apologize to the members of the forum for the delay, but I will post the package tomorrow, Monday. The driverpack is ready, I just need to compile it.

Thought as much. Iirc Home version tend to ignore user input like that. Could be wrong though.

That would be really bad, especially since it does not report any errors in the process. Let’s see what the experts say. In the meantime I’m thinking that this should be a quite common issue here since a lot of users are experimenting with audio drivers. Yet, I have never seen anyone posting a fix. Alternatively I will have to find a way of renewing/changing the digital signature of the file.

CityCultivator · Feb 25, 2019

@Khonjel Do you uninstall the stock driver then install modded driver?
I noticed that if stock driver is uninstalled then modded driver installed, there can be driver revert.
If modded driver is installed directly without removing stock driver, the modded driver is not reverted.
This is my personal observations, and it may not be the same everywhere.

lol wanted to mention @Juggler?

He is probably referring to me

How can the modded driver be installed over the old driver if the first thing that the installer does is to uninstall the old driver?

Sybaris_Caesar · Feb 25, 2019

Use a driver uninstallers like @MerolaC was suggesting me last page. Don't use default uninstaller. Leaves a lot of residue.

I installed this and found that my speakers was missing DTS or Dolby digital live (5.1 speaker) setup. I only got 2.0 speakers to choose from

@Alan Finote I have just tried to install this driver. Nahimic installed fine but Dolby was requesting an older version. The PC then crashed into a blue screen but luckily Windows managed to restore to the state I was in yesterday morning. I have basically found only one driver that worked for my system but I still have the problem that as soon as I install it, Windows deletes it, probably because it has an expired digital signature. If I had to send you the file, would you be able to rebuild the signature? That would hopefully solve my issue. Thanks!
