AAF Realtek DCH Audio Driver - DTS

[MichiW]

@Ferather
i tried this here from your Post :
"I just put my speakers into stereo mode (normally 5.1), and then enabled 'DTS Surround Sensation Speaker', I left the settings at default, I then played multichannel AAC (see here).
The result was absolutely amazing, it was identical to my 5.1 setup, all channels played over stereo (2 speakers), even the rear was coming from behind me."

Sound is way better but cant get it work with mit Logitech Sound System via jack connections to hear Sound in the back speakers. When i put the mode to 5.1 all is working fine. Or is your way only working with digital output?

DTS Surround Sensation Speaker is for emulating 5.1 on stereo setup. You will feel like using a 5.1, but it will not be a real 5.1.

The above. Sorry for late response. Thanks @CityCultivator.

@Ferather - great work! I'm very impressed by your sturdy work and social talent in helpfulness.
I am nearly done with my Universal Remastering Live Chain(TM) and am on the way of developing a new codec format/spec.
Would be really neat to have this up and running, since the only ingredient I am missing is ICE Sound, DTS:X and Harman AC3 (working).
GG.

Will you give us the link when it will be terminated @emanresu ?

Of course, that's why I'm here

 

[Ferather]

He's also working on DTS X, so fingers crossed.

You'r talking of emanresu ?

 

[Ferather]

Yes

 

[emanresu]

I've been tardy digging deep in the digital web archive trenches.. many broken links, corrupt zip files.. crc that doesnt make sense.. iso'$ that appear out of thin air. Api's without commands. Instructions long forgotten. I'm trying to find the best available audio format for a new multidriver with encoding features.

 

[Ferather]

You mean with DTS:X decoder or similar? I'll look around for .dll's it may be possible to add it, so far I only did APO 4.

Just curious if anyone else using the ALC892 Realtek codec has been able to get Soundblaster working? Alan's build is perfectly stable for me running it stock and using the HDA interface. I output music via Foobar(tunes) and VLC (movies) to a stereo receiver via optical SPDIF and play FPS games (Battlefield) using analog output at front panel green jack. I can play music and games simultaneously. Sounds amazing. Its a testament to Alan's work. Asus killed driver support with with windows 8.1 on a flagship $600 motherboard. As shameful as that is it better now than it was using the stock drivers.

I tried to play Red Dead Online and I was missing codecs (this is W10 Enterprise 64x) So I found the K-lite Codec mega pack. I just updated my gpu drivers and had to re-install my audio too. I would love to use the 720 suite for gaming but its not a deal breaker. Hopefully these new codec file associations didnt get muddled. I am still on the elevated support from Rockstar trying to play this game (or get to launch) so I am tuning stuff up.

 

[Ferather]

I'm using the ALC889, I can try with my driver at some point. I also intend to add DTS:X decoding to the driver as well.

Unlocking the console.

Update to AAF 6.0.9107.1 DTS (Signed)

Turn off your internet services (unplug the cable from your computer, disconnect WiFi).

In 'Device Manager' right click 'AAF DCH Optimus Sound' and uninstall, select delete driver. Ignore the restart warning (say no), then open 'Command Prompt' as admin, and type: pnputil -e
Look for Alan Finotty and/or Ferather, take note of the 'oemX.inf' information, then type: pnputil -d oemX.inf (replacing oemX.inf with your number), then restart.



After the restart, extract the .7z package and double click install, Windows will tell you to restart, wait 5 seconds then restart.

Enjoy!

Are the new driver really that matter on performance & sound quality ?
Coz my command prompt isn't accessible right now. I try to mess with command prompt via registry editor & my windows go nuts & won't boot into windows. Is there any way around to update your driver without using command prompt ?

 

[Ferather]

Yes, if you have used-installed my driver before. Just uninstall the current driver, ticking delete driver, then restart. After restart, right click 'HDXRT.inf' and install, and then the same for 'RTEXT.inf'.
If you have not used the driver before now, send me a message as you will need to install a certificate, which is part of the driver signing system (or disable driver signing).

Are the new driver really that matter on performance & sound quality ? - I have not heard such high quality sound from 40-48 kbps ever!

Already done...
Settle for new update.
Thanks a lot...

 

[Ferather]

If anyone else is having issues with Command Prompt and-or Powershell, due to what ever reason, send me a message I will send you instructions on how to install the certificate and driver manually.
The driver is signed using a self generated open PFX certificate, and using the Wosign Signature Tool (more information from Microsoft here), the driver is installed via PnP Util.

Installer code snip (%CD% is current directory):

@ echo

--Install the certificate via PowerShell, Elevate is run as admin.

--Wait for 6 seconds

AAF 6.0.9107.1 DTS - Test notes (28/02/2021):

DTS post processing for APO4 is enabled, however digital was handled as a stereo output, to compensate I added the APO4 mode, system and endpoint effects to digital (and the internal connector).

Due to the changes made, if the computer is started with digital as the default device, but you want analogue, the APO4 service will need to be restarted to detect analogue and apply.
If the computer is started with analogue as the default device, you can switch between other inputs such as digital without issues, or at least for me it worked.

Due to licensing I could only go as far as add a master profile (default profile) for multichannel audio, active on analogue and digital.

The overall audio quality has increased, the sound is more rich and immersive.

Hmmm.... I wonder how you managed to do this all alone.
I thought we had an agreement. You broke it.

So, I can see that you have DTS X Software Components on your Software Components device manager. I have installed the update, and I can't seem to have it. Any help, please ?

@emanresu

As I said to you in the conversion, I already had this part working, here is one of the posts I made, you can check the date.

AAF Realtek DCH Audio Driver - DTS

This is a self made compilation driver based on 'Alan's DCH Mods' (all credit to him), with full DTS support. It can also be installed in circumstances where installers don't function, or if direct files are needed. I aimed at the minimum needed to get amazing surround audio, I did NOT focus on...

@Hearick

That's odd, try right clicking 'RTEXT.inf' and select install. Not sure how the main .inf installed but not the extension.

Yup, it worked

The weird thing, is that I had already installed it via right click-install because my computer does not ask for admin permission (even when I do put admin permission)

Thanks

Another thing by the way, could I have the link of the dts x.mkv file, please?
