Realtek Modded Audio Driver for Windows 10/11 - Only for HDAUDIO

[SGZ12]

I confirm that it works. Now Nahimic only doesn't work. But it is ok until the next update that works well

great news, and 'bout the nahimic yes it doesn't work as expected so I disabled it and enable only Sound blaster connect 720 to equalize the sound and upscale to 5.1, that's enough for me until a new driver fix this issue

I also encountered the same problem, 5.1 channel was not executed correctly, now I also use 6.0.8996.1, and it works fine


I also encountered the same problem, 5.1 channel was not executed correctly, now I also use 6.0.8996.1, and it works fine

great so I think the 6.0.8996.1 version is the best till now

Hey guys, so I'm not sure what the go is, bit out of my depths unfortunately.

I've spent the past week or more trying to find an audio driver for an old PC I have lying around. The motherboard is a Gigabyte AM3 GA-MA790XT-UD4P. Onboard audio is ALC889A. Running Windows 10. After lot of stuffing around I've only managed to get audio to work from the front panel jack, but it sounds somewhat distorted. In the Realtek HD Manager, the rear panel is always greyed out, and nothing I've done has changed that. I'm sure that back when I had Windows 7 installed, the audio was perfectly fine. Unfortunately, going back to Windows 7 is no longer an option. I've tried many different Realtek drivers which have been very hit and miss.

Can anybody steer me in the right direction, as to what drivers here may offer a solution? It'd be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hey ! I appreciate all the work and it really saves me from buying more expensive stuff. I tried to run the shortcut on desktop and the file I circled in black is flashing red. What is it ? and does require fixing ?

Clicked on the red X and it turned green but if I save it turns red again ? Not sure what it is ... I'm not trying to be iliterate when it comes to this but the shortcut was placed on my desktop and I believe I should run/try it

@bernek2018
This is a tweak tool for configurate the driver after install, but I don't know how to use.
If you wanna know how to use, please read this thread or do a search here & in other similar threads.

The RTKHDAUDIO.DAT is the file, where the config for Realtek audio devices is stored.
The other seems to be for Creative SB or Intel? I don't know.
I think: if red = data in it, if green = no data stored.

@Pr3nd3r
Deinstall all Realtek audio drivers and Tools and reboot.
Alternatively go into devicemanager and the properties of the Realtek HD Audio device -> driver -> push previous driver!
Then you'll have the M$ driver ... and hopefully good sound again.

Second step could be, that you could install the DCH driver from Alan Finote:
AAFAudioPackDCHFix-6.0.8996.1.exe

This is the last one, which has correct 5.1 surround sound via SPDIF.

 

[TheMonkeyKing]

Release killed my Win10; system would not reboot fully - hung on rotating circle black screen. Used most recent exe (6.0.9018.1)

However...
I tried installing it in an account that was not the Administrator. Even though I ran the file as an Administrator, there might be some issues with running it outside of an Admin profile. Yes, developer mode is ON.
I will try and install it in the Admin profile. Wish me luck!

[Tanzmusikus]

And de-install all Realtek drivers (with restart PC) before installing DCH driver.
Good luck!

And when installing be aware of that, what Alan said.

No. You must choose only one of the enhancements available in the package (Sound Blaster, A-Volute or Dolby Atmos).

 

[TechJeff]

Just wanted to tell you
When i install newest drivers AAFAudioPackDCH-6.0.9018.1 ... i got no sound over my Realtek Digital Out SPDIF to 5.1 system
With AAFAudioPackDCH-6.0.9013.1 all works fine and i even can select DTS and DD and it works ->

Realtek Modded Audio Driver for Windows 10/11 - Only for HDAUDIO

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...

Hello @Alan Finote, as always, appreciate your hard work and willingness to improve!
I've read a few pages ago that you're working on a future version of HDMI-based driver. I wonder if there's a principal difference between Intel/Realtek onboard implementations and video card-based HDMI audio driver? As I understand, HDMI is not an audio device in itself, there's no "audio chip" as such (compared to Creative etc.) but just a plain PCM bitstream straight from MS audio processing software to a receiving endpoint (usually AVR or TV). How difficult is it to make the same tweaked driver for AMD and NVidia?
As I see from the recent discussions, what interests people here is to have a stable solution with minimal cabling (single SPDIF or HDMI instead of a "serpent wedding" behind the rig) and properly working upmix of 2.0 to 5.1 - and your solution with HDMI seems a "one-fits-all" option given it contains a (couple of) slot(s) for APO processing units that can perform upmixing and DD/DTS encoding if needed (plus some bells'n'whistles if someone desperately wants it).

 

[Tanzmusikus]

@DriVE654
You could try it yourself by installing this DCH driver AAFAudioPackDCH-6.0.9013.1 (I get BSOD too) Edit: Dolby Home Theater v4 (DHT4) for analogue / SPDIF output devices ...

... and after restart you install via device manager for your graphics card HDMI output device (AMD or nVidia).

[ picture canceled by myself ]

So it should do install, but I don't know if DDL / DTS-C ist working fine.
If you tried, please give feedback of your experience & result.

This is a screenshot of my installation. The current problem is testing no sound on speakers 7.1 and 5.1.
1 and 2 modes cannot be switched,which will cause the cause the computer blue screen!

 

[Tanzmusikus]

I will try and install it in the Admin profile. Wish me luck!

Maybe that's not good idea. Using Administrator profile for user usage is not good usable ( useful usage of word "use" ).
This could make problems in certain situations.

You could try these ways ...

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.

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

Good luck!

How did you manage to get Dolby software component 3.20700.725.0, I couldn't find it on MS Update Catalog?

it's there on MS Catalog recently but it's not 3.20700.725.0 but 3.20702.725.0

Release killed my Win10; system would not reboot fully - hung on rotating circle black screen. Used most recent exe (6.0.9018.1)

people using certain MSI boards were having problems with the official 9013 Realtek UAD MSI drivers and so MSI has recently "downgraded" the Realtek UAD drivers to 8945.1 on their web site.

seem there's a problem with driver 6.0.9013.1 now, you will probably have to wait a bit for new driver release. Currently, only 6.0.8945.1 version is listed on MSI website.

don't use the 9013 driver whether official from MSI or the AAF DCH modded one if using recent MSI motherboards.
perhaps try the 9030 AAF DCH version on those boards

I've tried it on 6.0.9018.1, with a BSOD as Result, and I must roll back to the previous HDMI-Driver

 

[Tanzmusikus]

Sorry, then maybe I did it on Win7 with (this AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8960.1 -> I got B.S.O.D too) Edit: Dolby Home Theater v4 driver & it works.

That should also be possible on Win10 I think. But you could also use Dolby Atmos (or Nahimic?).


I hope Alan will find a way to make it working for HDMI in a future release.

I've managed to install realtekdriver_2019_02_25 @Alan Finote but i have some question, im using 7.1 but when I tested the speakers, the sound just came out of the front left and right. i've set the cable input im using rca cable, do you know the solution?

Thankyou

@Cardepils
Use AAFAudioPackDCH-6.0.9013.1.exe (or AAFAudioPackDCHFix-6.0.8996.1.exe), they work correctly with 5.1 via SPDIF.
7.1 could not work via SPDIF, maximum is 5.1. On analogue output 7.1 is possible.

For audio testing here are two sources: Dolby Surround 5.1 (720p25) file ... and 5.1 PCM/.WAV audio files.

i already tested all alan driver, but i like realtekdriver_2019_02_25 and realtek_2019_03 because the sound is good. btw im not using SPDIF im using analogue. thank for the response @Tanzmusikus
so do you know how to solve my issue?

SP-DIF is limited to 5.1 (Dolby AC-3 or DTS) by design. For anything more than that you need either HDMI or analog.

1. Did you set "Analogue Output" as your default device in Windows?

2. Try this output configuration:
green -> front L+R
orange -> center | sub
black -> rear surround L+R
blue -> side surround L+R (instead "line in")
pink -> don't use "mic in" for sound output

3. Deactivate both effects -> [DTS Connect] and [DTS Ultra PC II].

4. If that still not function properly, then plz post your motherboard model.

5. Do you use 3 adapters from 3.5" jack to RCA (cinch) or what?

6. Which device gets the 7.1 signal (Logitech ???, AVR, ...)?
