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

[Jokerzz81]

Hello, I'm new here and yesterday I installed aaf driver version 6.0.9042.1 and that is a very good job, thanks for that, but
I have the following problem, S/PDIF output does not work, when I switch to S/PDIF output there is no sound,
and I noticed the following,, aimp music player reports unsupported format for all music regardless of mp3 or ogg format.
Mainboard: MSI Z370 gaming M5
Sundchip: Realtek 1220
Sound system: sony BDV-E2100

Use 6.0.8996.2, then it should work. You have to deinstall all Realtek Audio drivers & AAF driver before.

Use 6.0.8996.2, then it should work.

Now S/PDIF works but i have an old problem again,
I always had the problem with the old original driver from msi my microphone was too quiet and nahimic effects didn't work,
I solved this problem with the aaf-6.0.9042.1, but only S/PDIF does not work,
and now with the aaf-6.0.8996.2 spdif works again, but the microphone and effects do not work again.

So I see, that @Alan Finote should write a Fix for this

@Jokerzz81
Try it with all other sound enhancers deactivated, only Nahimic active.
I have little volume even @+10dB preamp. With +20/+30dB it's better, but not loud.
I use a Lavalier micophone.

If that doesn't work, you could use Voicemeeter (donationware mixer).

What is your kind of using the microphone (chat, meeting, recording, ...)?
Which software do you use?

Hi, about aimp, did you installed sonic studio? I had troubles before with aimp crashing and not playing files because compatibility problems with sonic studio

I tried that no change.

chat, meeting (skype, discord, and social media)

voicemeeter is a bit complex for me but maybe I'll try again.

i haven't installed sonic studio, i only have rt. sound manager, nahimic and dolby atmos installed.
this problem only occurs with some older versions, not with 6.0.9042.1

 

[Tanzmusikus]

Deactivate Dolby Atmos when using Nahimic. I hope you did that.
For me it worked that way with driver v6.0.8996.2

What microphone do you have?
Do you use preamp option in Windows sound?

 

[Jokerzz81]

Deactivate Dolby Atmos when using Nahimic. I hope you did that.

Yes

What microphone do you have?

headphones from sony and corsair, nothing special, but that's not the problem, with nahimic 2 and windows 1803 everything was ok.

Do you use preamp option in Windows sound?

I have not seen this setting where do I find it.

 

[Tanzmusikus]

how is the mic connected (jack plug or usb)?

right click on speaker icon -> sounds -> record -> your micro -> properties -> level (3rd tab)

ah that's what you mean, I've tried that but doesn't do much.

microphone is connected via soundblaster play3 usb card.

 

[Tanzmusikus]

microphone is connected via soundblaster play3 usb card.

Then all we tried could not succeed.

Did you install soundblaster driver by Alan Finote or do you use original drivers?
Show me please some screenshots about the configuration options of your sb mic input device!

Do you have SBX Pro Studio or something like that from Creative installed? Or this one from Alan Finote?

This ist original Play!3 software from creative for PC: https://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=100181

But now dont work for the crappy microsoft update. I Tried to reinstall and problem persist. I have Asus z370 E-gaming motherboard

Any new driver with that important feature sould work whith the lastest windows 10 update?. Thanks and sorry my poor english language.

P.D - Need that feature in SPDIF output. With windows 10 2004 (april update) worked fine, October update broken all

P.D - Resume: - Need that feature or another (I need to listen virtual 5.1 sound in 2.0 sources like mp3/flac music) in my home cinema sony dav-dz830w,
connected by spdif from motherboard. Need to (obvious) Digital live 5.1 and DTS, no need more.

Thanks again!

I use original driver and software from creative, just like in your link.

The only what I see is the option "Überwachungs Mikrofon".
Try activate this option and see what it does.
Maybe it's just another monitoring ... or it may help you. I don't know.

Why don't using onboard micro input? That's worth a try.
For microphones you don't need CMSS-3D or EAX, maybe the onboard is a better choice.
I use the Realtek ALC1220 ... and it's okay. It has the pre-amp feature and further features to hide the noise.

Der Realtek ALC1220 hat auch einen besseren Rauschabstand als die Play!3 von Creative.

***

Letzte Möglichkeit, die ich im Moment sehe, wäre die Installation der Soundblaster Software mittels AAF-Treiber.
Vielleicht ist sie ja sogar kompatibel mit der USB-Soundkarte. Hätte dann mehr Optionen (aber der schlechte Rauschabstand bleibt).

Hier ist ein Test von Igor ( 120dB ggü. 93dB sind das übrigens ) :

Realtek ALC1200 entmystifiziert - was den Einsteiger-Sound-Chip vom größeren ALC1220 wirklich unterscheidet | igor´sLAB

Man findet den Realtek ALC1200 sehr oft auf Einsteiger- und Mittelklasse-Motherboards und es ist, wenn man einmal googelt oder die Schwarmintelligenz der einschlägigen Foren interpretiert…

Today I installed another driver (6.0.8904.1) from the nahimic website (sound is a little worse than AAF's driver but that could be a solution because everything works here, effects and S/PDIF,) and, today released windows new soundblaster driver (1.16.4.14), now everything is better,
if AAF adapts its newest driver and the S/PDIF works again, i can take that but until then i will leave it that way and try it for a few days.

The only what I see is the option "Überwachungs Mikrofon".
Try activate this option and see what it does.
Maybe it's just another monitoring ... or it may help you. I don't know.

When I turn this on, I hear my own voice.

My pc is in another room, it is a bit away from the monitor so i used the usb sound card but if that doesn't get better i will probably buy an extension cable and use the realtek connection.
Sorry for Google English
And Thank you for help

 

[Tanzmusikus]

Yeah, that's called "monitoring".
You could use that for analyzing/testing in the future, if needed.

Congratulations for your solution/workaround !!

Does 6.0.9045.1 correct the S/PDIF 5.1 issue?

 

[slayer23]

Does 6.0.9045.1 correct the S/PDIF 5.1 issue?

From my tests so far yeah, it fixes the prior issues except for sbconnect

 

[Deleted member 193792]

From my tests so far yeah, it fixes the prior issues except for sbconnect

So games with LPCM 5.1 output audio correctly on all 6 speakers?

 

[SGZ12]

I've tested it a few minutes ago and the answer is NO, not only the PCM5.1 does not work but the SB720 app doesn't detect the device even after runing the kga file. it's a shame because for me in particular the only reason to install Alan driver is getting right pcm5.1 ant DTS. Thanks for the effort but I'll rollback to the 8996 version
