The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

[qu3jo]

Good night, I would like you to help me on an issue. Today I formatted my PC, and I realized that my audio was strange, what is hurting me the most, is that my microphone was very low, and it is making strange noises at times. I use a ryzen 7 3700x, 16gb ram, asus x370 prime pro hand card. Please help me, and I'm sorry for the English.

stop using onboard sound if you want the best quality

My onboard sound components are pretty high quality (Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro - Realtek ALC1220-VB 7.1). Maybe speaker units not that much good but it is enough for me.
I was not uninstall old driver before install modded one. Today i uninstall all audio drivers and enhancer apps and reinstall all of it. Now it's sounds so much better I turned off DDP because i have not surround 5.1 or 7.1 speaker setup, so it is unnessecary for me. DTS is off; Nahimic Music profile on, SoundBlaster Music profile on, DAX Gaming Music Mode with Open equalizer preset on.
My room's windows are shaking and i can hear all details while i listen music on Tidal Hi-Fi

@alp.adalar I have the same onboard sound as you and I also have an Creative X-FI Fatality Titanium admittedly the audio is pretty good from the ALC-S1220A but the XFi still kicks it's butt in the quality arena when using the Asus drivers for the onboard, but after using the ones from this thread I do indeed have to say that they do make a rather big difference bringing it nearly on par with my XFi

I stripped down all this mods in single effect per mod with latest versions -

https://github.com/shibajee?tab=repositories

or just click the links in my sig.

use the one u need. @pr0dukt

I've seen, that you've got in your Repository an UAD with Harman-Elements, and an UAD with DTS-Elements. Is it anyhow possible to merge both Packages?

Or why not (also) with both all Dolby and DTS?
Is it possible to shrinking both of these effects in a one mod at the moment?
Or it is available in a single mod? @ador250

I'm going to planning upgrading from HDA to UAD in my PC in the next week (with the win 10 1909 update too), because it has a more changed in UAD drivers releasing in a 1.5 year time and I want test it how it works and sounds at all.
And UAD sounds more better HD sounding than HDA?
What's difference of the both?
I'm really at the beginning of these newcomer thing

In a few years will be completely changing the sound structure of these drivers and I hope it will also very good then HDA was in past 15-16 years
It's a bit sad that his time will be over, but the whole last year was the biggest highlight of the HDA here and we had never ever before so much mods here became than in past 8-9 years before and i'm very delighted and thankful that what we become and thank you for all the modders here in our community you had the best job done even if was swatty for you, but it is your passion
Thanks again for these wonderful HDA years and shall we come the next chapter UAD too!

I mean u can literally put all the worlds of effects in one mod, it's just couple of line add/edit in .inf file. But all the process on background will make sound delay and sound will be little or more distorted. Harman and Dolby UWP effects r heavily modified sound processing engine, harman alone has biggest delay than any other apo. My goal is to give people some lightweight package who don't need all those effect at once. If u want good stereo music effect then Harman or Sound Blaster connect or for headphone DTS Hpxv1 is more than enough and for gaming nahimic or dolby atmos. Alan Finote already giving those multiple effect package, why I have to do this too. @Jimmy9303 @Metal-Tom

Okay, i accepting and understanding this
Your UAD effects when I read for the first time in your site I was completely shocked in a happiness that it contains my best effects that exists and I was just only very-very happy and fine with that
Separately both I will be testing it and also changing the Dolby and DTS mods and I say thank you again for this making that, because you were the first modder than you maked this completely good
I'm waiting patiently for you next mods
Surprise us also next time too

Warning: do not install the last update, it changes the name of your audio bus in windows and can completely mess with your secondary audio card. Happened to me, now i have to reinstall windows from the scratch

 

[Athlonite]

@Fonolax a little more info and some screenshots of what changed would be much appreciated and what do you mean by secondary sound card do you mean a discrete sound card like an Soundblaster card or are you talking about the built in sound of you video card

I have a MSI x570 Unify and use the latest Realtek Audio Driver and the Realtek App from MS Store but the problem is there is no EQ. I can only set volume. I use the optical audio output.

 

[sleewok]

I'm having a really strange issue after installing this. The audio fades in and out, like it is trying to normalize it when running. It sounds terrible. Any ideas what would be causing this?

 

[max_clif]

Does dolby theater 4 work with nahimic? I've never managed to get any recent version working together. Nahimic is the one that stops working once both are enabled

 

[ador250]

download this, then replace the HDXRT.inf with this one, also put the 5 R4EE*.dll dolby file in the Win64 folder, u can delete the HDXRTSST.inf..installation procedure will be same as this one, u just have to install extra DolbyHomeTheater.msi @max_clif

Where are the five R4EE*.dll dolby files? Wasnt in any of the two 7z files I downloaded. I havent installed the drivers yet but from another set I did install from Alan Fonte's set, there are 10 R4EE*.dll files inside my C:\Windows\System32 folder did you mean 5 of the 10 from here?

New to pc gaming...my mobo doesnt have optical out...how can i get better game sound?? all i have is my headset that is 3.5mm

 

[max_clif]

your PC might have HDMI, in w hich case you can attach that to a sound system (entertainment system) with bluray and speakers) that has HDMI in and let that handle the sound from the PC.

 

[ador250]

R4EEL64A.dll
R4EEG64A.dll
R4EED64A.dll
R4EEP64A.dll
R4EEA64A.dll @max_clif

 

[max_clif]

ok but i should pull this out of windows/system32 directory from another installation package? These 5 arent in the Realtek_UAD_Nahimic_v6.0.8899.1.7z file I downloaded.

i disabled driver signing through group policy in Windows 10 pro, and replaced the HDXRT.inf file and added the 5xR4E files, and got an error:

group policy edit won't work, u have to use the restart method or test sign method...here is video instructions and proof of both enhancements r working.

 

[max_clif]

I got it to run into test mode with windows on bottom right saying it is in Test Mode

I still get that error, despite following your video to the letter.
Is it possible my mobo ASUS Z97-A (with ALC892) isnt supported by the HDXRT.inf file (that i unrarred from the link)?

My realtek audio chip is ALC892 too. That error specifically means that u r not in disable driver signature enforcement mode. Did u revert the group policy edit before going into test mode ? Just follow this installation method
