Is there a way to force stereo games upmix to 5.1 with SPDIF ?
On analog 5.1 there is an option "Speaker fill" that works well for games but i can't find the same function for SPDIF
I've tried with DTS Connect and it works for audio mp3 etc but not for games
I've tried different drivers ( the one on first page too ) but no luck with DTS connect, stereo games are only in stereo DTS via SPDIF, no 5.1 upmix
5.1 games works in 5.1 DTS, not so bad, but "speaker fill" for stereo games produce good results on some games, so i wonder if it's possible through SPDIF
My Realtek is ALC892 on Win 10 1909

Is there a way to reduce latency? It gets very noticeable in games.
Audio enhancers and DDL/DTSconnect uses a buffer per enhancer/encoder. Buffer = latency.

That's why I asked, since I did so. DTS, Dolby cinema, dolby gaming and soundblaster are disabled. Dolby digital gives a MASSIVE quality boost but i cannot config the buffer.
DDL has higher latency than DTS Connect. Can't you use that?

Doesn't sound as pleasant for my M40X's (I tried the M50X preset with no success)... does the hardware latency have an effect on it? Since I have an interface I can use with static latency.

Decoding DD or DTS also require a buffer.

Hello, So I tried everything and nothing seems to work. I have now Windows 10 build 1909 (10.0.18363 build 18363).
My main issue is that I have a 5.1 sound system, connected on the 3 jacks on the back, but windows 10 seems to see them as stereo (L and R only) connected only to the green jack.
It was working fine on Windows 7 before I upgraded to 10.
So the sound card is the built-in one in this Gigabyte Mother Board.
  • I used their driver from the website, still Stereo.
  • I tried the steps mentioned in here with R2.82 driver got from here, so basically uninstall the existing driver and using that method but still
  • I used @Alan Finote 's method here downloaded from github, which gave an error while installing but in any case still the same.
  • I tried @Dj Urko latest one here, with the digitally signed and still same result.

The thing in common is I revert to an earlier restore point, uninstall the Realtek driver, restart, I still see it installed after reboot, but did those steps and still the same. Also even without the restart, just simple uninstall/reinstall gives out the same outcome.

I have an internal PCI Creative Sound Card, now this sees the 5.1 just fine, the only issue is for some reason it inverts the middle and sub signals, and can't seem to invert them back. Which again was not the case with Win 7.1 SP1 ....so HELP!!!!

Okay, I've mostly got this mod working, aside from the Nahimic UI being unresponsive, and my format options never including Dolby/DTS. However I'm just using either my SteeleSeries Arctis 5 headset (7.1 DTS VirSurround enabled), or switched to the modest logitech Z625 THX 2.1 setup i've had for awhile, which is connected via S/PDIF toslink. Currently just using the onboard chip of an msi x470, on the ALC892 codec. Which does support 7.1 channel formats, and shouldn't have issues supporting Dolby/DTS functionality and thier respective apo configs.
Yet I still can't seem to get DDP, DHT4, or DTS Audio to actually do anything to my actual sound. They will generally run if i launch any of them, but any configuration or EQ adjustments do just about fuck all to my actual sound qaulity.

At this point, I just want a clean cut answer as to what my best option would be to deliver optimal stereo and virtual surround from my current hardware, without trailing a path of a bunch of half-working driver/APO packs to end up right back where i started. :p

Can any of you gentlemen point me in the direction of a quality lightweight mod or suite package that will enhance the sound qaulity of my humble yet effective desktop audio options? It'd be much obliged. ^^


I do eventually plan to install a 7.1 setup I currently use elsewhere to my PCs audio arsenal, but that is a ways off yet. But having the Dolby/DTS functionality already enabled and ready to use, will really make that transition a lot more painless as well...

Ah snap, these are actually perfect. Brand focused, lightweight, and likely easier on compatibility I'd reckon than these AIO packs that I don't seem to have much luck with. I'm likely to opt with the DTS pack, given I use a SteeleSeries headset, which are designed around DTS:X 2.0, but can still switch over to DTS studio for 2.1 speakers. Kudos and thanks for putting these together bro, I'll likely be giving this one a whirl here in a few minutes. Cheers!

So I decided to use the DTS pack and it works fine on my Realtek S1220 audio device much better than the Asus supplied driver and software

Not that I know of.

I am still unable to get these drivers to work. I'm back to Nahimic 3 and the realtek driver's from the MB home page.

I installed all programs with mod (i downloaded it from first post) but sound is not good as before. I turned off all sound programs but still the sound is little bit distorted. Basses are a little bit over, trebles are scratchy. My speaker setup is not bad. I have Microlab M820.
What should i do for better quality?
Sorry for bad English :/
