That's weird, the soundblaster 720 or similar doesn't appear to be installed for your driver, DJ. Maybe im doing it wrong. Only the soundblaster connect is installed but not the soundblaster 720. I erased all except 1 of the .kga files, and ran the registery file (which should be only for dolby).

Hello Everyone, today I opened my Realtek Audio Program and I notice that was only one Output on Back Panel and another Output to Front Panel and look the Digital Output, my motherboard was output Digital by RCA and my PC isn't made by MSI, it's made by Asus.
I uninstalled the drivers and I installed again the same (With Sound BlasterX 720º).

The Chip is Realtek ALC883, so, it's a 5.1 controller and I Have a 5.1 Surround System.
Thanks for your Help.
Sorry for my bad English.

Also it is not my mod, not that I can remember, but check in "%systemroot%\System32\drivers" for the existence of the file "rtkhdaud.dat". If it exists, delete it and restart your PC.

Thank tou, Thank you, it works, you are a Master of all this and I notice the Subwoofer stayed with better bass, more louder.

Your driver or the Driver of Alan Finote outputs 5.1 Surround by HDMI Cable? For connect to my home Receiver Yahama RX-V363, it suports Dolby Digital Pro Logic and Silent Cinema and DTS Digital Surround ( I have Nvidia GPU) and internal GPU Intel.

I noticed that my nahimic no longer has any effect on the sound. At one point it was working and modifying the sound but it no longer works. I can run it, and I can click on play button the app but the sliders for treble bass voices do nothing at all to the sound.

Any ideas how to fix this?

You use a modded driver from this forum that says that it contains Dolby Atmos, and you reopen Dolby Access and Atmos for headphone will be fully unlocked.

Dear DJ Urko,

Thank you for your driver mod!

I tried installing it on Gigabyte x99 Designare-ex and got NO sound output from the front 3.5 jack (neither waveout ot directsound).

I'm currently using generic realtek hda 8627 and they work well.

I'm on win 10 latest (10.0.17134.677) x64 enterprise.

ALC1150 Hardware ID:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0900&SUBSYS_1458A182&REV_1000
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0900&SUBSYS_1458A182

Would love to hear your insights on how to get this going.

Thx & BR,
AstroAstro

Just install Dolby Atmos driver from this website. You don't need to install Dolby Access, because Dolby Atmos has full features for headphone

Dolby Access only works when you have 7.1 sound source, with 2-channels audio source Dolby Access does not work. But Dolby Atmos driver can create virtual surround from 2-channels audio sources

Do not use Dolby Access when using Dolby Atmos driver, because you will increase reverb for virtual surround, it will have worse sound quality.

Dolby Access is required to enable spatial sound Dolby Atmos for Headphone. Thus both Access and Atmos needs to be installed.
Access will not ask for trial/payment when Atmos APO is present.

No need to install Dolby Access. Because the Dolby Atmos driver also has Dolby Atmos for headphones. Remove Dolby Access and disable 7.1 virtual surround in Spartial Sound. Because Dolby Atmos drivers can create effects without the need for Spatial Sound for headphone
