I just want to start off with a big thank you to all the modders in this thread, your work doesnt go unrecognized. But Id like to put my 2 cents in hopes maybe someone can tell me what Im doing wrong. I cannot seem to get ANY modded driver to work right with my system, a
X470 AORUS Ultra Gaming with the 1220-VB chipset. Dont get me wrong some will produce sound, but then there are some missing DD and DTS, or get one or the other. Then there are some Ive tried that though they say they include one or the other, or both, I find when I just try to play music, I get this weird "phasing" going on as its trying to play music. It fades in and out, and even if I deselect ALL of the enhancements it just wont play right, I didnt try anything else like games or movies, for Im disabled and about 70% of the time Im on the internet looking up and discovering new stuff to do, like these drivers, to try to get the most out of my stuff. But nothing I do, following the directions here, or other threads have worked right for me, the way Id like it to for though its nice to have the DD atmos app, or enhancements I kinda find them a novelty to me, for Id like to think Im a purest and listen or watch stuff in its native format. That said, I did try however to get these all to work starting with the first page all the way up to 42 as of writing this, and though Id would of liked to mess with it, Id probably just keep it all shit off anyway minus DD and DTS for my Denon Receiver for playing games or watching movies on it. The only one I actually found working fo rme though, is the one where you do a simple patch to the registry files of the R2.80, 2.81, or 2.82 (though with 2.82 you lost the realteck app, but can do all the adjustments through windows), however I stick to using the 2.81 for now for I like using the added functions with the Realtek app, such as test tone for my razer tiamat 7.1 v2 headset to get it working right, for Im always fidgeting with the settings, Im never happy, though Id like to think so, I always go back in and try to get it right to match what Im doing. But with the patch it allows me to get DD Theater, if I feel like kicking that on for a song, or DTS Connect, though to my ears with my headset, or receiver for that matter, dont hear any difference at all. But for games I hear a Difference in optical turning DD or DTS on vs PLII or DTS Neo playing games or movies, which is cool for me.
So Im not sure what all Im doing wrong at all, for I uninstall everything, using Iobits Uninstaller 9 software so it removes everything left behind, make sure not to click restart computer now so it will finish removing it all. I have also tried just using windows uninstaller to, for some times doing that with a Modded driver will get it to stop "phasing" on me, but I can never get one to work right, or give me the option for both DTS and DD at the same time, to work right that is for me, so that when Im watching a movie I can select the correct encoder that is for the movie I am watching to get whats "meant" to be heard correctly. I even had one modded driver not allow to me to change my blue jack to side speakers, which I need to work to have my headset work properly. So if anyone can chime in and tell me what Im doing wrong, for Im set up as developer, side load the apps, got the app from the store, and even the ones that do it all themselves, doesnt work right, missing stuff, or apps thats supposed to be included dont even show up at all in programs folder, or task bar, or anywhere. If you got one to work on your 1220-VB chipset with no problems, feel free to give me a step by step to install it the way you did to get it to work, and Ill be happy to try it out in hopes I can get one to stick to at least give me a few hours to mess with it and keep me busy doing something new, and who knows maybe Ill find it useful or sound better then what Im really used to, hence why Ive tried about 80% of all the ones in this thread. But if anyone is kinda like me and just wants DD and DTS to work over optical, just look in the other thread, grap the patch, R2.81 ZIP file (needs to be a zip for you got to patch the installer with it prior to installing the driver, a exe version will not work), and uninstall your other driver, if you dont use the Iobit program, just download cccleaner to remove all the left over registry files before you install the 2.81 driver, and thats it, it all works, with windows 10 fully upgraded to latest version through windows.
And if anyone would like to know how to get this headset, or the Logitech's G633/933 ones to sound flipping amazing without needing to buy a different sound card, as Razer tells you you have to do to get this headset to sound correct, lmk and Ill post a step by step, and maybe it will help with other sets as well, maybe even with other headset, but I know 100% it works with these two I have with a Realtek setup. If I had a different sound card to put in Id be happy to test them out with these vs the realtek setup but till tax time I cannot afford anything different, but Id be happy to pass on my days and hours of testing these two with the 1220-VB chipset to maximize the moist sound and quality I can squeeze out of them, but if I get some that would like to know Ill make a thread for ALL of the reviewers and even razer are wrong on the razer tiamat 7.1 v2 needing a specific card to make them sound great.
