2.8.1

I haven't tried it yet, but @alanfox2000 just released 2.8.2 APO driver. Fingers crossed the dolby issues are fixed.

If you install it and try it before me. Please let us know how it is.

Hi all, just updated Windows 10 to 20H2 and DTS Connected stopped working (Faled to play test tone). Figure I need the latest version of the APO driver, uninstalled 2.6.4, rebooted, ran CCleaner to clear old registry entries, absolutely cannot reinstall the latest version. I've tried both 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 and get the same error with both:

Disable windows defender or allow expection for APO Driver and then try to install it

Cleaned installed 20h2, apodriver 2.8.1 + dolby atmos speaker system for gaming, stopped daxapi service, updated libs manually from https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=3.20703.733.0, restarted both windows audio and daxapi service, 3.2.1 xml version from this post https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...enhancers-work-on-windows.244309/post-4339883 but amended to work with dolby atmos speaker system for gaming (archive attached to this post) - dolby atmos speaker system for gaming UWP now works (sound differs if off/on, change profile but surround virtualizer, dialogue enhancer and sound leveler in the personalize profile still not).

still doesn't work at all. i tried 2.8.2 and it just disables audio enhancements for my audio device, so i can't get dolby effect to work.
do you think i might have to clean install 20h2 in order for the dolby effect to work?

at this point @alanfox2000 isn't even putting effort to fix the non effect of dolby atmos.

xml 3.2.1 and the other test xml version fully work with surround virtualizer, dialogue enhancer and sound leveler in apo driver 2.7.7.

Fantastic, worked a treat, latest driver installed, DTS Connect enabled and I have surround sound again. Thank you very much.

Jayce · Oct 31, 2020

@alanfox2000 APO Driver 2.8.3 is out, and all he does is update the dolby drivers but doesn't fix any issues where fxconfigurator disables audio enhancements and no sound difference (on/off), even when you change profiles, the surround virtualizer, dialogue enhancer and sound leveler in the personalize profile still doesn't work.

He never listens to what we post on here about dolby atmos drivers not working properly.

We tell him that the drivers need proper configuration that audio engineers like him can only do. But he just ignores us and just only updates the drivers and doesn't do anything else.

second note to alanfox2000

Dolby v3.20703.733.0 APO SWC component driver & Dolby HSA v3.20703.732.0 driver available from MS Update Catalog

and MSI Realtek UAD 9042 driver contains Nahimic3 APO3 SWC v3.0.0 driver

hope you can include these updated components in next APO driver release

MSI Realtek UAD driver updated to 9045.1 which now includes Nahimic3 APO3 SWC v3.1.0.0 driver

also Dolby v3.20705.753.0 SWC driver on MS Update Catalog (though already included in latest APO driver release)

No it doesn't work properly.

@alanfox2000 doesn't care about fixing the configuration for the dolby dll files.
I have tried it on both HDMI and 3.5mm audio jack connections on my PC and the fxconfigurator some times disables audio enhancements and no sound effect difference (on/off), even when you change profiles, the surround virtualizer, dialogue enhancer and sound leveler in the personalize profile still doesn't work.

Have only been using dolby atmos from APO Driver 2.7.7

emanresu · Nov 17, 2020

Great news, I've gotten GameSpirit 2.67 (Sonic Fix) to work on Windows 10 x64 1909 (although via VoiceMeeter) - SRS in Realtek Audio Manager and MB2 works with EAX.
Can't access sound properties for the individual outputs in Windows Sound. Which sucks.
Works up to 192Hz 24bit.
Would like someone to help me with DiRAC APO and get DTS as output format (not 5.1) working on optical

I'm using Dolby DS1 (Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater) with SPDIF to 5.1 speakers and (Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming) for Analog/Headset. Both work great and getting 5.1 sound with SPDIF.

Just a bit annoying that Norton always detect threat. Anyone have this issues? I download from official website.

add an exclusion or to "ignore" list onto Norton

I think the problem with dolby atmos may be with the XML preset setting files in newer APO driver versions

moving on,

Nahimic 3 uwp app recently updated to 1.5.2.0 from MS store
note - the 1.5.x versions of Nahimic 3 app do not work with alanfox2000's recent APO driver packages and may display "not compatible" message. seems the Nahimic creator put restrictions in the 1.5.x versions of the app and only work with "supported" MSI/ASRock/Gigabyte systems and not with others. I'll stay with using either v1.4.14 or v1.4.15 of the Nahimic 3 app and not update to any of the 1.5.x or higher versions.

I just installed but it's not working for me. Well I don't have SPDIF though....

Yeah I am going have to agree there. Because Dolby Atmos was working perfectly in APO driver 2.7.7 with(xml 3.2.0 and xml 3.3.0 configurations in Fxconfigurator). Sound works perfectly fine here for Dolby Atmos. Even works with the newer xml presets.

APO Drivers after 2.7.7 have those xml 3.20 and 3.3.0 configurations were removed(sound doesn't work for Dolby Atmos anymore). Doesn't work at all with any xml presets.

Ever since alan removed those configs for xml 3.2.0 and 3.3.0 the sound hasn't been the same or worked at all
