Making Audio Enhancers Work on Windows

[Diogo Silva]

So far I understand it. But: how did you solve the Problem with the provided Batchfile named DISM_Install.bat??? My CMD-Window ever ran in to an occured "syntactical" Error :-(

In the Attachment you can see, if I've edited the File correctly

I don't need execute/run the file DISM_Install.bat

 

[ador250]

[Metal-Tom]

I don't need execute/run the file DISM_Install.bat

Editing the File CreativeExtension.inf inside of ThirdParty Folder inside the Win64 Folder of Mod and you must update your APO Driver and change the settings of Program FX Configurator

So how did you it exactly? Pls tell me

Nothing more, just edit the hdxrt.inf and install the Mod through Device Manager (Option Update Driver)

If you want to confirm the Realtek UAD is installed correctly, in Services of Windows must be a Service with name RtkAudioUniversalService like in photo.

 

[ador250]

Did u install any of this ? @Diogo Silva

 

[Diogo Silva]

Did u install any of this ? @Diogo Silva

Yes, I change the CreativeExtension.inf file like hdxrt.inf file, something like that in picture and after I go to Device Manager and click Update Driver and I select the Realtek INF File, in Win64 folder of Mod. After Reboot the PC, I go to the FX Configurator and add the Creative Render.
Go there for the files.

YES, I GOT IT my Realtek ALC883 is now working perfectly with Realtek UAD Driver, version 6.0.8688.1, the Creative Sound BlasterX720º Desktop app and the UWP Version.
Special Thanks to @alanfox2000 for help me and to provide the Drivers by Github Site.

well Diogo I've been doing my own private Realtek UAD/UWP mods and check out this neat screenshot

I have creative uwp sb720 w/ sound options available along with Realtek audio console (Gigabyte OEM version cuz I use a Gigabyte board with Realtek ALC892) with the Realtek Sound Effect "Environment" and Equalizer [EQ] options available.
yes I have those Realtek EQ & environment options available and I can use them simultaneously with the SB720 UWP blasterx acoustic engine & environment options.

btw, I using a modified Realtek UAD v6.0.8694.1 driver after editing the HDX_GigabyteExt_Creative_RTK.inf and CreativeExtension.inf extension INF files that I got from alanfox2000's github page.

 

[erpguy53]

Can I activate the Bass Management or Swap the Center with Subwoofer Output or Activate the Loudness in Realtek UAD Driver/UWP Version?

a follow-up: it seems Realtek "already did the magic" themselves at least in the HDX_GigabyteExt_Creative_RTK.inf file by allowing simultaneous usage of Realtek sound FX options with Creative audio options (aka. having multiple audio effects)

so I'm fortunate to using a Gigabyte board and having both Realtek Sound FX and Creative audio FX options available [that includes the Base Management, Subwoofer Swap & Room Correction options available for 5.1 & 7.1 speakers as in this lovely screenshot; Loudness equalization is not available but I don't need that one since Creative's "Smart Volume" feature does a similar thing]

perhaps when alanfox2000 does newer/future Realtek UAD/UWP + Creative UWP mods, he should take a closer look at the contents of the HDX_GigabyteExt_Creative_RTK.inf file and compare the entries of other "creative extension inf" files like HDX_AcerExt_CT_RTK.inf or HDX_ClevoExt_CT_RTK.inf, especially the entries in the "APO CLSID registration for render endpoints" section.

The HDX_GigabyteExt_Creative_RTK.inf file has this entry in the "render endpoints" section:
"HKR,InterfaceSetting\SysCustomizedFx\FX\0,%PKEY_CompositeFX_ModeEffectClsid%,%REG_MULTI_SZ%,%MBAPO_MFX_CLSID%,%REALTEK_MFX_CLSID%"
instead of this in other CT_RTK or Creative_RTK extension INF files:
"HKR,InterfaceSetting\SysCustomizedFx\FX\0,%PKEY_CompositeFX_ModeEffectClsid%,%REG_MULTI_SZ%,%MBAPO_MFX_CLSID%"
also the Realtek OMFX clsid string was added onto the Gigabyte Creative RTK inf file:
"HKR,InterfaceSetting\SysCustomizedFx\FX\0,%PKEY_CompositeFX_Offload_ModeEffectClsid%,%REG_MULTI_SZ%,%REALTEK_OMFX_CLSID%"
that allows the Realtek MFX to be "offloaded" while using Creative audio options

Yap, i don't have this options, I have only the basic, only that photo bellow is showing and more nothing.
Can I add more Sound Effects or more features (Equalizer, etc...)?
Thank you.

I don't Know. Sorry

Yaaaaaaa, more one time I got, but this time I got the Sound Effects in Realtek Audio Console + Sound BlasterX 720º, BUT ONLY IN STEREO OUTPUT
How can I upmix to Output 5.1 Surround in my ALC883?
Besides that, the Realtek Audio Console is very beautiful in my opinion of corse .
The version of the Driver is 6.0.8699.1, the last one.
C'on I need help.
Thank you.

Hi,
I want latest Realtek UAD for my rig.. where can I find the download?

my Laptop's specs ->>
Asus ROG GL702VMK
Windows 10 Pro 1809 (Build 17763.437)
[Realtek chipset] ALC3236-VB2
Hardware ID: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0255&SUBSYS_10431760

by the way, the reason I need UAD and not the legacy HDA is that I want to be able to equip my system with Audio Enhancers like 'Dolby Atmos gaming for speaker system' which from my understanding needs UAD alongside Realtek Audio Control Console to be installed first....

Dolby Atmos gaming for speaker system does not require UAD, I am using that with HDA just fine.

Hello all, I solved this problem. Simply update the Driver by Device Manager.
I have another problem, the Creative Sound Blaster Connect 2 or Sound Connect the Version UWP don't apply the effects selected.
How can I do the Creative programs have mix effects in music?

New APO Driver v2.4.8
has error when installing I get this error message. "EXE and MSI file signature mismatch

All previous APO drivers before this one, doesn't have this error when installing.

@alanfox2000 can you please fix this error with the APO Driver.

Is it possible to use both Nahimic3 and Dolby Atmos for Gaming at the same time?
If so, how would I go about doing that?
Also, my internal subwoofer on my Dell Inspiron 7567 is not working.
Thanks in advance!

It's not good to use multiple Enhancers at the same time, because of audio quality distortion, and other problems. It's good to use one.

Devices with internal subwoofers often have custom software to allow for usage of the sub. Do not use enhancements to replace the stock software, as the sub often can get disabled.
Combining the stock sub enabling enhancement and any other enhancement is only recommended to the one who knows what they are doing. (I don't know what is being done, don't ask me!)
Possible idea: Split audio outs into separate for internal speaker and headphone outs. See Realtek Control Panel. Then apply only a single enhancement to the headphone out endpoint. Note:

I would like to do this, but I do not have realtek control panel for some reason..

Edit: I just found out enabling UAD profile on fx configurator enables my subwoofer.
So, how would I choose different outputs for only the headphone jack?

You need the control panel. No way around that.

You need the control panel. No way around that.

So, I managed to find the control panel, but there seems to be no option to separate the outputs.
Also, I'm now getting error in APO driver installer, 'EXE and MSI signature mismatch' or something

That error was reported by @Jayce . Wait for @alanfox2000 to update the latest APO Driver installer.
I don't have UAD drivers installed, therefore I can't help you much right now. In a few days, I will have a dell 7375. I expect the audio system to be quite similar to your system. I might help you then.

I hope so lol
Anyways, thanks for the help!
Until I can find a workaround or a fix for this, I guess I just won't be using my laptop speakers lol

 

[CityCultivator]

You used your laptop speakers? Are they really that good?
