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

Tanzmusikus · Dec 17, 2020

Yes I did. It only works with ASIO4ALL driver in that way.
With Realtek ASIO driver, it's horrible because it is limited to 44.1 kHz (16bit) and no option to change it to 48kHz.
I tried it in registry, but it changes nothing.

Which ASIO driver do you use?

And how to setup the "way" in ASIO driver -> from audio source to the SPDIF?

emanresu · Dec 17, 2020

I use Creative

Tanzmusikus · Dec 17, 2020

Okay, maybe that's the point.
There's a creative and a kXdriver profile. If both are only for Creative cards, then it's useless for my rig.

Thanks anyway!

emanresu · Dec 17, 2020

You can use FL Studio ASIO?

Tanzmusikus · Dec 17, 2020

Yeah - I found the ASIO Link Pro driver last night, which gives the possiblity to use ASIO4ALL with the more than one source playing sound.
Here I read atm that ASIO4ALL has lower latency ... and FL ASIO should have more latency.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FL_Studio/comments/9cxln2
On other side FL ASIO should be more easy to use.

But that's not the big problem. I don't know how to configure correct ASIO with redocneXk.
Maybe I have to change the speaker configuration? Creative and Realtek may have different speaker config.

Do you have a screenshot of your redocneXk config?

emanresu · Dec 17, 2020

Try each setting with your preferred ASIO of choice, then just hit Start Encode

I don't know which setting is the best, just that it works

@akulp Ignore the AC3 filter image, that's for analogue multichannel to digital multichannel transcoding, which currently doesn't work with Windows, Realtek or AAF drivers.

Here is the Realtek manager I get:

Currently I have a problem with the 5.1 speaker setup, as the defaults are front and sides, not front and rear. I have to set it as 7.1 and disable the sides to get rear (I also get virtual sides).

You will find easier to use analogue, Windows by default will play AC3 (DDL) over analogue, so you only need to change to digital (SPDIF) for DTS audio.
Analogue carries a higher bitrate and is a higher quality than compressed digital (which uses a lossy system to compress audio).

DTS (1536 kbps) is a higher quality than DDL AC3 (640 kbps). My ALC889 and Z906 will also play DTS-HD.

@Mossey49

With the Yamaha connect via SPDIF to your Realtek, play these files via Windows 'Photos' app: DTS-Trailer (DTS 5.1, 1.536 Kbps, 48 kHz) and DDL-Trailer (Dolby, AC3 5.1, 640 kbps, 48 kHz).
No drivers will transcode multichannel analogue (example AAC) to multichannel digital, so you get either 5.1-7.1 DDL or DTS, or 2.0 PCM only.

The first file DTS-Trailer played fantastic it sounded amazing! The DDL-Trailer would not play. I installed I installed Alan Finote's driver, earlier DCH DRIVER VERSION UPDATED TO 6.0.9071.1 and had some errors and the Realtek Audio Console will not run.

Tanzmusikus · Dec 17, 2020

You have to deinstall all drivers & enhancers you'll update ... and also clean the rests p.e. with DriverStoreExplorer or ... (you could see on last page

).

***

Please look at your screenshot. It shows an error for the DTS animated logo. This seems nothing to do with the DD-Amaze-Trailer.

You could download Trailer directly from here: https://thedigitaltheater.com/dolby-trailers/

When I get rid of all previous drivers and reinstall the driver from Alan what options should I actually choose there is one there for ASIO should I select that as well? I am quite clueless when it comes to what all these acronyms actually mean?

Tanzmusikus · Dec 17, 2020

I prefer not to use this Realtek ASIO driver. It's limited to 44.1kHz/16bit & no changes possible.
This is good for basic or semi professional audio recording, but not flexible.

Home Theater standard is 48kHz/16bit (24bit) or more. You may not need ASIO, if you don't know it.

1. What do you wanna get from this driver (multichannel for movies, audio, games)?
2. Which enhancers do you like (to test) (equalizer, mixer, 3D sound, uplifter, microphone, ...)?
3. Which hardware do you wanna use (board, soundcard / speaker)?

akulp · Dec 17, 2020

I installed drivers. I can't yet connect my speakers over SPIDF because I need this:

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Lk0AAOSwpVxftdGH/s-l640.jpg

In the beginning of installation I left all options by defatul (I just unchecked Creative stuff). I use ASUS H470 with ACL887 chipset.

Now after installation I see that Sonis Studio don't work. Is it the main app to use Dolby Atmos?
When I connect 3.5 analog jacks I get this:

Do I have to install Realtek Audio manger from Asus separately?

@Alan Finote can you somehow help me?

Thanks.

I unistalled all the Audio drivers rebooted my system and both the Samsung and the Realtek audio devices were reinstalled. I then uninstall and did not reboot and then installed Alan's driver only selecting the first option I believe Realtek (Legacy) selected both. I got the same result when trying to play the suggested audio trailers. The only difference was no errors on install and the Realtek audio console is installed. What's next? I sure feel like I am making progress, but I should be able to play the digital theatre trailer, Right? I mostly watch movies and listen to audio. I use WMC mostly viewing video clips from Vacations while listening to audio! Karaoke!

Tanzmusikus · Dec 17, 2020

Please install the new AAF v6.0.9071.1, not the legacy version.

And don't forget the procedure of deinstallation, restart, maybe manual deleting, restart ... installation.
Good luck!

I tried, but got the same result. Maybe I should settle with the fact I do have audio now and the Dolby Atmos sounds great! Thanks to those that helped and to Alan for a driver solution! I have no idea what I would try next!

Ferather · Dec 17, 2020

@akulp

Looks like you have an issue for Alan, I cannot help you with the installer. The Gigabyte panel came with the AAF drivers.

Ahh... now I understand, what you've written.
You mean, you choose the Realtek HDA (Legacy) Control Panel incl. DDL/DTS-C ... instead of M$ Realtek Console UWP app.

Mossey49 said:

Okay, Realtek audio console app is working.
What's the problem with the trailers? Could you describe it a little bit more detailed.
- which audio outputs do you use?
- which settings do you choose?
- which results do you get?

Me and other users have written it many times - and if you had read the last pages, you would know now - about the SPDIF-bug.
DDL/DTS-C (LIVE-)encoding is not working atm. You could only play audio/video files which already included DD/DTS encoded audio tracks.

@Ferather
Nice picture!
Do you mean something with that "@Tanzmusikus"?

"DDL/DTS-C (LIVE-)encoding is not working atm. You could only play audio/video files which already included DD/DTS encoded audio tracks. "
Does this mean that the DTS trailer I am trying to play is not working for anyone?
I will attach the SS of what happens when I try to play the DTS trailer. And one of Alan's console config, and the Windows sound console.
The Realtek Audio Device configuration is greyed out and I can only select properties. when I do a windows test I only get 5.1 audio,
The last 2 SS of what happens when I attempt to run Sonic Sound Studio and THX audio programs included in Alan's audio Driver pkg.
I am using S/Pdif optical output to my Yamaha RX-V861, I have no choices for settings as the configuration area is greyed out and not choices show up when running the Realtek Audio Console. Under properties I have both choices selected DTC and Dolby. On my other PC when I select Realtek Audio device I have configuration options in the Sound console to select my speaker configuration. Not so on my HPTC.

No, the opposite.

That's what I'm talking about is, that: DD LIVE is -> LIVE encoding ... and playing DD movies/audio is only decoding.
LIVE encoding is done by a special software (p.e. in the Realtek or Creative driver), that transcode p.e. PCM to DD or DTS ... "on the fly".

If the movies/audio files still contain an encoded track, then only 'decoding' have to happen.
And another encoding through DDL/DTS-C just make no sense - in my experience you don't get multichannel, but only stereo ... or no sound.

So deactivating DDL/DTS-C could help to corectly decode DD/DTS tracks p.e. from the Trailer.
Best regards!

Mossey49 · Dec 18, 2020

Should I be able to configure my speakers in Windows Sound Control Panel or the The Realtek Sound console?
Should I have audio if I switch back to HDMI output on my HTPC?

I tried deactivating DTS in Realtek Audio Device properties and the file plays video now with no audio.
Then I tried reactivating Dolby digital, I got same result as the SS I supplied. Would not play the file.
Something still not right still, but I have no idea!

ChristTheGreat · Dec 18, 2020

Hey guys, I had a Soundblaster Z but I had to remvoe it. With my new RTX 3070, I can hear the coil whine in my headset, but not on the onboard audio.

So now running on : my asus onboard: SupremeFX8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220A.

I don't know alot about audio, but I guess that the modded driver is a big improvement?

Thanks!

Mossey49 · Dec 18, 2020

Summary - Still have no sound using HDMI out!
- I do not have configuration ie: speaker options in windows sound panel or in Realtek Sound console. Configuration option is Not selectable.
- I can not play a DTS encoded MKV trailer file
- I have 5.1 audio while playing A Dolby Atmos trailer.
- The only audio I have is using Optical out from my HTPC
Is this the limit with Alan's Driver? When I checked the actual file installed using Alan Finotty's driver is 6.0.1.7560. Is this correct?
I am happy I have audio! Somehow I still don't think that this is working correctly. Am I right?

In general yes, but it depends on the scenario in which it will be used.

Know. You are talking about the 24 bit for recording. In fact, it remained enabled. If there was a problem, please ask him to send you images of it.

Edit: I think there was a misconception. I wasn't talking about actual high bitrate audio or something,
I was talking about the extra "Microphone Effects" feature that includes "High Quality Record".

This was what I'm talking about:
(has the same layout in UWP panel as well, but I'm not using it because it doesn't automatically switch to headphones and turn off speakers.)

In newer versions, only the "Acoustic Echo Cancellation" and "Noice Cancellation" is present.
Uni-directional, omni-directional, enhance voice recognition, high quality record are not present.

I can see from the middle image the AAF driver is not installed. You have "Realtek High Definition Audio" not "AAF DCH Optimus Sound".

1: Go to "Device Manager", by typing "dev" into the start menu search at the bottom left of your screen.

2: Uninstall "Realtek High Definition Audio", restart PC, you should get "High Definition Audio", which is the default Windows driver.
3: Enable "Developer Settings", by typing "deve" into the start menu search at the bottom left of your screen.

4: Install the "AAF driver", untick everything except for UWP version, and "Both" decoders, after restart disable "Developer Mode".

5: I set digital to "2 Channel, 24bit, 48000Hz", because transcoding does not work currently.

If that does not work, let me know and I will show you how to force install AFF driver.
