APO Driver 2.5.7
- Add Dirac APO 1.0.1
2.5.7 Support Dirac Audio
App in Janpenese language only there are big with different .config file
1. Run cmd as admin
net stop MBfilt /y
net stop RtkAudioUniversalService /y
net stop UWPService /y
sc delete MBfilt
sc delete RtkAudioUniversalService
sc delete UWPService
2. Completely remove UAD - follow step B (it remove complete remove all Creative inf).
3. Remove Realtek Audio Control and SBC UWP manually
4. Download 8773_FF00_PG473_Win10_RS3_RS4_RS5_19H1_Win7_WHQL.zip
5. Disable driver update and disconnect to internet - > reboot
6. Install 8773 driver -> reboot
7. Now the default audio panel Realtek HD Audio Manager
8. Install APO driver with SBC desktop version/Equalizer APO
If you use Equalizer APO's Configurator to install APO on a ALC1200, the audio will not work correctly as the Configurator has Composite SFX MFX EFX bug.
To solve this:
1. Run FX Configurator, select the endpoint you wanted.
2. Backup endpoint registry first.
3. Click "Product Config Tool". Select Equalizer APO from drop down list, click "Apply Product Settings to Selected Endpoints".

CityCultivator is correct, in fact even with a clean Windows install, as soon as I connect to the internet Windows Update installs Creative.UWPRPCService.exe, with no uninstall option, and this process -- it's not technically a service though in some ways it behaves like one but it's not listed as a the MMC as a service and it's not in the services sections of the Windows Registry.
This is a headache to say the least, as Creative.UWPRPCService.exe reinstalls anytime anything is updated Windows Update regardless of audio driver or interface -- thwarting just about everything and forcing Creative's shitty "CINEMA 5" interface that's a dog in every regard; wastes a ton of screen real estate to do virtually nothing, has obtuse controls with poor control envelops, and is just generally clunky and ugly, and is really crummy 16/32 bit shovelware...
I may give up and use the native Windows High Definition Driver, and go with Equalizer APO as it supports a mountain of VST plug-ins, real audio software like Voicemeeter, is real 64-bit software, isn't a puke fest kiddie interface as it's designed by Audio Engineers, and even if it is a bit of a resource hog with some drivers, it's probably worth it. If I manage or someone figures out how to properly remove Creative.UWPRPCService.exe so Windows update doesn't reinstall when using Windows Update I may give some of the other middleware a go again...

Interstingly Creative.UWPRPCService.exe is in the driver store keys in the registry, and "PnpLockdown" suggest some onerous product registration crap:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/SysWOW64/Creative.UWPRPCService.exe
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpLockdownFiles\%SystemRoot%/SysWOW64/Creative.UWPRPCService.exe
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\UWPService
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UWPService
As deleting all these keys has no effect....
1. Run cmd as admin
net stop MBfilt /y
net stop RtkAudioUniversalService /y
net stop UWPService /y
sc delete MBfilt
sc delete RtkAudioUniversalService
sc delete UWPService
