Can anyone help me please to get 5.1 sound (in games that support it) with my Acer Aspire black edition v17 nitro over SPDIF with Logitech Z906.

You need one of the drivers download from 1rst page: For Win7/8.x/(earlier)10 version take this ... and for (latest) Win10 take this.
Before installing, delete old audio drivers p.e. with driver_store_explorer with admin rights & force deleting ... and restart pc.

After installing one of the driver*, go into device manager and update your 'digital S/PDIF device' manually from the folder of the *driver, if needed.
Then configure the S/PDIF device as required to DDL+ or DTS-C. Better use DDL+ cause DTS-C should not work at the moment.

i dont know what the hell i did wrong but all the sudden these drivers will not install. ive tried a million different things but the computer just keeps installing the default microsoft drivers. ive deleted the AAF drivers out of the driverstore folder after taking ownership of it with my pc's user accounts and everything. but when i install the drivers it doenst put anything in the driverstore folder now... I dont get it. i still get the realtek control panel installed and all the other software but thats it. im using the DCH version., please help

You could do one or two restarts to be sure Realtek driver (de-)installation will be really finished.
Use DriverStoreExplorer (start with admin rights) to delete driver rests & force deinstallation when error comes.
Restart PC into Windows 10 without internet connection.
Install DCH driver. Check driver installation. If wasn't succsessful use "start as administrator" to install driver.
Restart PC and check again if driver is "DCH Optimus". If yes, then activate internet connection. If not, go to 2.
If Windows overwrites the DCH driver, go to device manager and "revert back to last driver".
Alternatively if 5. fails, use 7-zip to unpack driver in a folder of your choice & update driver via device manager from this folder.

Good luck!

If there's a problem by something in the list, tell it and write 'till then it was good' & where's the problem now (maybe with error code).

P.S.
Oh I see you take ownership of the folder. That was no good idea. So your PC has now problem.

Make an USB-stick with MCT using same Windows 10 Version (1909 or 2004 or ...) as your build now is.
Start installing Windows from that USB-Stick while you are in your actual Win10.
Don't overwrite/delete Windows, but do a repair installtion otherwise with that method.
You should not loose files or data, if the installation was successful, but backup is always good to be done before changes.

In the future use "additional admin rights" as normal user for deleting drivers (like I wrote above).

@Alan Finote
6.0.9013.1 , HDA manager not installed as selected option rather than not working properly as before. dolby access not working as no spatial sound installed in options, it was working in 6.0.9003.1 .
in DCH 6.0.8960.1 (Updated) (Signed) HDA manager was working fine but the apo made slow fps in games so i really cant be use.

i thought i did all this .. so i started over again ... thanks for tip with Driver Store Manager
- So i deinstalled every Audio related driver ...
C:\Program Files\AAF\Uninstall\uninstall.exe
- Also i checked if i got some APO driver leftovers and deinstalled
- Reboot
- Remove any other audio driver stuff with Driver Store Manager
- Reboot ( Laptop is offline since now)
- Reinstall https://github.com/AlanFinotty1995/AAF_DCH_RealtekModded/releases
AAFAudioPackDCH-6.0.9013.1.exe
- Reboot
And then :

And both of them give 5.1 surround sound ... DTS and DD

Here i only here Stereo

and this are my Realtek Audi Console Settings

AND FINALLY I GOT 5.1 SURROUND OVER TOSLINK / SPDIF FROM ACER LAPTOP WITH BOTH GAMES I TESTED

With my previous installation i could only get 5.1 sound working in Horizon Zero Dawn (dont know why)
now it works with Remnant from the Ashes too

Another thing i did .. but i don't know if its related because i don't know if i.e Remnant uses XAudio2

i patched the XAudio2_x files in C:\Windows\System32 with this

XAudio2 Dolby Digital Live patcher – defer time.Sleep()

but in newer versions XAudio2_9.dll the hex patch pattern cannot be found ..

Within S/PDIF the maximum limit is DD/DTS 5.1 lossy compressed - 7.1 do not run via S/PDIF.
For 7.1 you need HDMI, DisplayPort or alternatively via analogue cable.

TechJeff said:

This is okay. Testsound is PCM 2.0, not 5.1.
Try a 5.1 audio file (AC3/DD or DTS).

Go to Tab [Supported Formats] -> "Coded Formats" -> push [Test] ... there should be 5.1 now.

In "Bitrate" -> there's only 2.0 too.

***

Oh I see - it's like your one picture before. So don't worry - all seems to be okay.

Try Audio/video Files with multichannel ... or a game which supports forcing "5.1".

All i did was add my user account to the FileRepository folder and make it admin, im going to try the 7-zip option though

See i have the drivers installed but they dont even show up in driverstore. : / even if i run it as administrator.

i got it. I had to use innoextract program to extract the contents of the .exe.

Why do you use "reply" by replying yourself & creation tons of wasted double information?
You can write directly under the last post ... and all is fine.

***

What is exactly your problem?
The driver seems to be in the system now.
I can see "System devices ... Alan Finotty ... 100.90.7.2020 ... 9/12/2020 ... 19 KB ... AAF HD Audio Controller Driver".

Can you show me this (to find in Device Manager -> Sound Inputs & Outputs -> Digital S/PDIF -> Driver) ... and that
(to find in Windows Configuration -> System -> Sound -> Sound System Control -> Digital S/PDIF -> Properties)?

Wakkadoo · Sep 21, 2020

Hi there. I've been fiddling with this driver for quite a long time now and overall I think I understand its purpose and I find enjoyment in it. However, no matter what I try I can't seem to figure out why it seems like the majority of audio plays on my right speaker. I am on windows 10 and use an ambx phillips speaker system, two speakers and a subwoofer connecting to the computer with a standard audio cable. Without this driver audio plays just fine the way it was meant to but whatever I attempt to do, audio prefers the right speaker. With some testing I've noticed that additionally audio that should be meant for the right speaker is played on the left speaker although a bit quieter and audio meant for the left speaker is played on the right speaker also a bit quieter. Disabling enhancements in windows settings removes this problem but from what I understand this also disables anything else this driver sets out to do. I've checked dolby atmos app, sound blaster connect app, sonic studio app, and realtek audio console and I cannot see what is causing this. I would very much appreciate any assistance, thank you.

Edit: Additionally I would also like to add that dialog is very obvious in video games along with various other sounds. All dialog will be played on the right speaker and even adjusting balance doesn't fix it.

I leave two reference images.
In my case if I don't increase the surround the rear speakers don't work. The same applies if 5.1 is not selected in the soundblaster app.
It must also be opened when the PC is started.

In my case, the last version 6.0.9013.1 install correctly, DDL is selected in the audio console, but theres no surround sound on mi 5.1 spdif system, I tried opening the soundblaster 720 to increase the surround but there is only the stereo option, no 4.0,5.1 or 7.1 like in your pic.

hope someone could give me a hand.

thanks in advance

@Alan Finote, the File "AAFDCHBgSvc64.exe" in System32 is actually missing. Can you please send me a RAR-Archive, which contains this File? Or is this as a Single File in your Repository, so that I can load this there for inserting into my Folder?
