Hi Alan, so this is my problem; I have started using my custom "rtkhdaud.dat" file.
My config use PCEE4 that has extraordinary sound quality with a little help from Dolby Atmos and Sonic Studio.
Everything works perfect, sound is amazing, it also has upmix to my 5.1 analog system.
It's upmix is even better than foobar2000 "5.1 Upmix", I had been using the DSP for over 10 years but now I have ditched it.

But; when computer gets into sleep mode the AAF Optimus drive is not working.
Well it is working but there is no sound. I can see the blue bar in sound setting of Windows 10 as something playing but can't hear a thing.
No sound is being send to speakers.
This bug seems to get undone by restarting the computer after wakeup or manually disable "UAA Bus Driver" and enable again.
Sometimes it can only be reworking again by restart. UAA disable and enable is not working at those times.
Below you can find my settings and "rtkhdaud.dat" file.

PT: Olá @Alan Finote, o que é prometido é devido, instalei o seu Driver e como pode ver na imagem todos os programas correm sem erros, o que já é um bom começo, o problema é que o DTS integrado no programa da Realtek e o Dolby Atmos não noto diferença no som quando mexo neles, é como se não estivessem os programas.
No Sonic Studio 3 também não noto diferença, só noto quando mexo no Equalizador, apenas.
Não sei se me fiz intender e se tem solução para o meu problema.
Obrigado.

Hello @Alan Finote, what is promised is due, I installed your Driver and as you can see in the image all the programs run without errors, which is a good start, the problem is that the DTS integrated in the Realtek program and the Dolby Atmos I don't notice a difference in the sound when I touch them, it's like the programs aren't there.
In Sonic Studio 3 I don't notice any difference either, I only notice it when I move the Equalizer, only.
I don't know if I made myself understood and if there is a solution to my problem.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for the work put into this software set. I just found this driver package and didn't know/think of there even being a custom set of drivers/software for the crappy Realtek onboard audio chip. So glad I found this as I just got into the Audiophile world and recently purchased a couple pair of 1More Triple Driver in-ear headphones. I always knew music could sound so much better but didn't think some in-ear headphones could sound this good. But the default software/drivers for the onboard Realtek chips sucks. So anyway thank you! I had 0 problems with installation and setup. Looking into the Audio Enhancers now. Don't know which one/ones to download.... THERES SO MANY!!! LOL. Again Thank You!

Open the "Realtek Audio Device Tweak", click on the Driver Policy tab and check the JackCfg box on the left and the FInRMute, FInRMuteSupport, Sensing, FSensing, RSensing, FSensingSupport, RSensingSupport, RearInMuteInternal, RearInMuteInternalSupport boxes on the right. Click Save, restart your computer and see the result.

no change... audio is playing through speaker and headphone at the same time....:(

after clicking save option a message shown "Has RTKHDAUD.DAT" ..is there any problem??

I have a problem with my audio and was hoping someone in here can help:
My Mainboard is an ASUS X470 ROG. It has SupremeFX Audio, AIDA64 reports it as ALC S1220A.
When I use no drivers (windows default generic HD audio) everything is fine. Most importantly I can use the compressor audio effect. But I dont have an EQ and also no advanced options (like the ones in Sonic Studio).
If I install the drivers supported by ASUS the following happens:
Sonic Studio can be started, but no effects are working apart from the EQ. Also I cant hear the windows notofications anymore. The sounds are still configured correctly in windows, but nothing can be heard. (Like clicking on the slider for the volume should play a "ding" ... nothing to hear here)
The same happens if I use the modded drivers.
I was hoping that maybe some setting in the "realtek audio device tweak" could help me, but I dont know what to do in there.

All I want is: working EQ, working compressor, working notification sounds. But it seems that I can only have some of that?

Hey Alan, great work.

I only have 2 problems:
1. Both Sonic studio 3 and Nahimic 3 show the message "the current system is not supported.." I already uninstall the old driver from windows setting, use DriverStoreExplorer and DDU, delete the nahimic reg. Reinstall your driver, restart the NahimicService (was running) change the recovery setting and still dont work. SB 720 work fine.

2. The most important problem is that Acoustic echo cancellation do nothing.

Thank you

did you restart your computer afterwards after restarting NahimicService, Lacoz?
reboot twice if you have to.

the current version of the Nahimic 3 app (v1.4.4) is BUGGY! Do NOT use the 1.4.4 version of the Nahimic 3 UWP app from MS store!
uninstall that and install an older version of the Nahimic 3 uwp app (like v1.4.2) from ASRock's web site.
then disable MS store auto updates to prevent the store from updating the Nahimic3 app to 1.4.4.

from this post in another forum:

WARNING: Nahimic 3 UWP has been updated from 1.4.2.0 to 1.4.4.0, This new version seems to completely break Nahimic 3 being used with the Driver Mod.

The only way to fix this is to Uninstall the new Nahimic 3 UWP then go into Windows Store and turn off Automatic updates

reminder - the 1.4.4 version of the Nahimic3 app from the ms store is incompatible with many modded Realtek audio drivers, no matter what.
use an older version of the Nahimic3 app with any driver mods [Nahimic creator has to fix their app]

Nahimic updated their software component to v1.8.1.0, I can't check right now (far away from pc). May be the new version will be compatible with app v1.4.4/later @erpguy53

We have similar motherboards and soundchips then.
Before this Maximus VIII Hero motherboard I had used 7 years of modded driver for M4A89GTD PRO/USB3.
For my experience of modded driver usage, upmixing was never better. I prefer front L+R are copied but this is good enough. Better than Sonic Studio.
Bass if as it should be also, deep and loud but not too much. By the way good bass is handled by PCEE4 mostly, if I couldn't activated it I could say bass is not good.

Hi, new to this so please forgive my ignorance.
I installed the modded drivers and output seems to be fine (all analog), but my input is now extremely quiet even with full volume and full boost. I think it's because the audio is analog and my headphones done split input and output (my laptop only has one audio port). I've decided that maybe I should just go back to how my laptop was before (digital input/output) but haven't been able to find a way to do that. I'm not sure which devices to remove from Device Manager, but i tried a clean windows install and it's still on analog. Any help would be appreciated.
